One of the most interesting historical documents to come out of the Zacarias Moussaoui trial is Exhibit 941. That is the Exhibit number assigned to the "Substitution for the Testimony of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed," the mastermind of the 9/11 hijackings.

Sure some things that KSM say about ZM exonerate him from 9/11. But how appealing was the defense "I didn't conspire to kill 3000 in the WTC attach, it was another 3000 I was planning on killing?" It doesn't really grab me.

Everyone connected with al-Qaeda says that ZM was training as a pilot to carry out a second wave of attacks. Is that a defense?

Will ZM be made a martyr? I guess. But you can't really argue that he was just a braggart because he doesn't come off as James Bond.
