He accepts prosecution argument that attack could have been stopped
AP, 3/27/06
...The claim came after Moussaoui acknowledged he had lied to investigators when arrested in August 2001 because he wanted to let the attacks go forward.
“Yes, you can say that,” Moussaoui said when the prosecution asked if that was why he misled them. The statement was key to the government’s case that the attacks might have been averted if Moussaoui had been more cooperative following his arrest. ...
Justice Scalia has voiced his outrage at the idea of providing our enemy with both a jury and civil rights. "War is war". Who on the terrorist side would do the same for one of us if we were to be captured? How many Americans have been decapitated?
Today we realize Moussaoui, a terrorist provided with civil rights, not only lied but his actions contributed to the deaths of American citizens.
What is our "war" on terrorism and how does it influence the enemy?
