The Washington Post headline today reads Moussaoui Says He Was To Fly 5th Plane

The article reads:

Zacarias Moussaoui took the stand at his death penalty trial yesterday and declared that he was supposed to hijack a fifth airplane on Sept. 11, 2001, and crash it into the White House in the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The al-Qaeda operative said his role was to head a five-man crew that included Richard Reid, the British citizen who later tried to set off explosives in his shoes aboard a transatlantic flight. Moussaoui said that his orders came from Osama bin Laden and that his plan was foiled by his arrest in August 2001.

“I was supposed to pilot a plane to hit the White House,” Moussaoui told a riveted federal courtroom in Alexandria. “I only knew about the two planes of the World Trade Center in addition to my own plane.”

His words were as stunning as the way in which he delivered them. When he pleaded guilty to conspiring with al-Qaeda last year, Moussaoui denied involvement in Sept. 11 and insisted that he was to be part of a second wave of attacks. He then launched into one of his rambling courtroom outbursts, ending it by screaming, “God curse America!”

So the only question I have is how long will it take to sentence him to death and execute him?

I take that back I have one more question. Are there any moonbats out there who wish to argue against his execution?
