Reply #22: Wacko or insane?

From the start, his assertions have been all over the place. He made a lot of wacky claims that could not be corroborated. He was out of control emotionally throughout the trial. It struck me as a bizarre performance. I would imagine a psychiatric examination of someone like him, especially under these circumstances, would be very difficult

If trying this delusional wacko was the best we could come up with to punish the perpetrators of Sept 11 -- heaven help us, we have failed.

"...wants to withdraw his guilty plea because he now believes he can get a fair trial." Glad he has come around to the notion that the US system of justice, however flawed, works, even with hot button issues like terrorism and for unsympathetic characters like him. What a wild and crazy guy.

"Moussaoui's court-appointed lawyers told the court they filed the motion even though a federal rule "prohibits a defendant from withdrawing a guilty plea after imposition of sentence." They did so anyway because of their "problematic relationship with Moussaoui" and the fact that new lawyers have yet to be appointed to replace them." After they did so, I bet next thing they did was to wash down their Excederin with lots of Jack Daniels.
