What would you do to a man who proudly accepts a mission from Osama Bin Laden, promises to do everything to destroy America and believes that the 9/11 death toll was too low? Zacarias Moussaoui ,a well know terrorist who has belligerently reaffirmed all the accusations against him, sat in a U.S court yesterday for the second time before the families of 9/11 victims. Zacarias Moussaoui said he would do everything “to the best of his ability” to bring down America, a nation that has afforded a murderer with a fair and public trial. Moussaoui and those who think and act like Moussaoui don’t deserve such treatment. Moussaoui is accused of the following:
Conspiracy to Commit Acts of Terrorism
Transcending National Boundaries
(18 U.S.C. §§ 2332b(a)(2) & (c))
(Count One)
Conspiracy to Commit Aircraft Piracy
(49 U.S.C. §§ 46502(a)(1)(A) and (a)(2)(B))
(Count Two)
Conspiracy to Destroy Aircraft
(18 U.S.C. §§ 32(a)(7) & 34)
(Count Three)
Conspiracy to Use Weapons of Mass Destruction
(18 U.S.C. § 2332a(a))
(Count Four)
Conspiracy to Murder United States Employees
(18 U.S.C. §§ 1114 & 1117)
(Count Five)
Conspiracy to Destroy Property
(18 U.S.C. §§ 844(f), (i), (n))
(Count Six)
Such charges for a foreign combatant usually result in a military trial. Why is he not being trialed in military tribunal? Why hasn’t he been sent back to his country of origin-Morocco- so he can taste a bit of Moroccan justice at home?
