After Moussaoui’s gift to the prosecution, his defense attorneys scrambled to put on testimony from high-ranking al Qaeda detainees that he was a poseur and a nuisance who did not have the role of which he boasted in the 9-11 attacks. Moussaoui now says that his previous denials that he had been involved in the 9-11 plot were lies designed to facilitate the fruition of the attack despite his arrest. It is not much of a stretch to join in speculation that, in making the prosecution’s case and undercutting his attorneys’ efforts to defend him, he may be seeking a martyr’s death.
