A trial judge Friday questioned whether the government could proceed with the public trial of accused terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui because prosecutors are operating in a "shroud of secrecy."
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said she was disturbed the government had classified so many pleadings, orders and court opinions. Brinkema said she joined in Moussaoui's skepticism about the government's ability to prosecute him in open court.
The judge pronounced herself "disturbed by the extent to which the United States' intelligence officials have classified the pleadings, orders and memorandum opinions in this case; and further agrees with the defendant's skepticism of the government's ability to prosecute this case in open court in light of the shroud of secrecy under which it seeks to proceed."
The government should regret not trying this sociopath by military tribunal. He's not an American citizen and his involvement in 911 was an act of war.
