Cry me a river

From Stop The ACLU:

I guess he had second thoughts on that whole “America Lost” stuff too? Moussaoui is now asking for a new trial!

Less than a week after he was jailed for life over the September 11 attacks, Al-Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui submitted a motion asking to withdraw his guilty plea so he can have a new trial.

“Moussaoui wishes to withdraw his guilty plea because when he entered the plea his ‘understanding of the American legal system was completely flawed’,” his lawyers said in the motion.

Moussaoui said in an affadavit “I now see that it is possible that I can receive a fair trial” in the United States.

“Even with Americans as jurors,” he went on, “I can have the opportunity to prove that I did not have any knowledge of and was not a member of the plot to hijack planes and crash them into buildings on September 11, 2001.”

“I wish to withdraw my guilty plea and ask the court for a new trial to prove my innocence of the September 11 plot,” he said.

If you tried to write this into a movie or TV script you would be condemned as an anti Arab or anti Muslim bigot for making him look so frack-all stupid.

I guess he didn’t like his 10x12 underground room with concrete furniture.
