Moussaoui not guilty, says jihad honcho

Urgent news alert! Moussaoui not guilty, says Osama bin Laden! It was all just a big frame job, according to the jihad honcho in yet another scintillating tape from the wilds of . . . wherever he is. The only thing he forgot to say in the tape was, "You dirty rat! You'll never take me alive!"

In an audio tape posted on the Internet (these guys love infidel technology, don't they?), Osama said: "I am the one in charge of the 19 brothers and I never assigned brother Zacarias to be with them in that mission."

Osama continued: "Since Moussaoui was still learning how to fly, he wasn't number 20 in the group, as your government has claimed. It knows this very well." In other words, more lies from the U.S. government, but we can depend on Osama to give it to us straight.

Well, okay, how about those flying lessons? Most people interested in flying as a vocation or even as a hobby don't forego those parts of the lessons that deal with take-offs and landings. If he wasn't actually in on the 9/11 caper, he was certainly preparing for something similar.

And given his courtroom rhetoric, which included endlessly repeated declarations of "Death to America," one might reasonably conclude that the best place for this wack job jihadi wannabe is a tiny cell with no possibility of release.

Bin Laden said that Moussaoui's confession was a result of "pressures exercised against him during four and a half years" in prison. Could he possibly be inferring that Moussaoui was tortured into a confession? Everybody knows what the Americans have done to people at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, right? How much of a stretch is it to believe they roughed up Moussaoui a bit?

Where that all falls apart is when you consider how gleeful and braggartly were Moussaoui's claims to have been a part of the glorious mission. Rather than having been tortured, it looks more like brother Moussaoui was taking a cheap shot at some easy martyrdom that he hadn't actually earned.

Anyway, in his tape, bin Laden declared brother Moussaoui's confession "void." Hmm, sounds like an official legal proclamation to me. How long before some leftist judge tries to get Moussaoui's conviction thrown out?
