"In the Name of Allah; Censured by the United Satan of America
Slave of Allah, Zacharias Moussaoui vs.
Slave of Satan, Bush and Ashcroft"

According to Wikipedia; "No evidence directly linking Moussaoui to the 9/11 attacks has yet been released." Moussaoui was convicted of conspiring to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, even though he was in jail in Minnesota on 9/11.
I think the Obama administration expects these trials to be a replay of Zacharais Moussaoui's, and that is why they are so confident. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed certainly appears eccentric, and relishing his role as a dangerous Islamic fanatic. Mr. Mohammed has confessed to being the mastermind of the attacks and he has stated that he wishes "to be a martyr for a long time".
On December 8, 2008, he and the other four defendants told the judge that they wished to confess and plead guilty to all charges. When the trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-conspirators were announced, they were expected to plead guilty. However, since returning from Guantanamo Bay you have stated that the detainees will plead not guilty.
Why do you think the detainees are going to plead not guilty? Were they planning to plead guilty, then changed their minds, or their legal strategy? What is the reason for their switching pleas?
SF: Before I answer your question regarding the 9/11 defendants' attempt(s) to plead guilty, I must explain some background of which you are almost certainly unaware. You assert that the defendants attempted to plead guilty on December 8, 2008. That may, or may not, be true. However, if it is true, it is not the first time they attempted to enter a guilty plea. Allow me to explain.
