al-Qaida Plotters Dismiss Moussaoui's Role
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Zacarias Moussaoui refused to follow instructions from al-Qaida superiors, pestered them with cell phone calls and otherwise breached the terrorist outfit's way of operating, according to testimony Tuesday in his death penalty trial.
A captured al-Qaida official, considered the mastermind of the suicide attack on the USS Cole and an early planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, plot, said in a statement that he did not know of any role for Moussaoui in 9/11.
The assertion was from Waleed bin Attash, often known simply as Khallad. Moussaoui's lawyers are presenting statements from a series of al-Qaida operatives in custody, including the chief organizer of the 9/11 attacks, to show Moussaoui was not part of that plot.

for those that dont remember, He originally told the media that he could prove that all of 9-11 was a lie... who sponsored it, who caused it, and who acted in it... and it was going to expose the US governments lies...
anyone else remember these rants? or was that only on Oklahoma news?
Do you have any links to such "media rants?"
I think such evidence would do more for the conspiracy theorists than the possibly fake OBL footage.
Strange things are clearly afoot.

That doesn't seem right for someone to give testimony under the fear of being shocked.

WOW
Can someone PLEASE provide a link to that story!!!
I've never heard of that.
On May 13, it was revealed that Nick Berg had been investigated during the U. S. government's investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui. Berg's email address had been used by Moussaoui prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks. According to Berg's father, Nick Berg had had a chance encounter[yeah right] with an acquaintance of Moussaoui on a bus in Norman, Oklahoma. This person had asked to borrow Berg's laptop computer to send an email. Berg gave the details of his own email account and password, which were later used by Moussaoui.
The suggestion of an Israeli connection to the events surrounding 9/11 did not spring, full blown, like Minerva from the head of Zeus. It had been hovering in the background, implied in odd accounts such as the one about the group of Israelis picked by the FBI after they were spotted in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, laughing and giving each other high-fives as the World Trade Center burned on the other side of the river. In an astonishing story in the Bergen Record, we learn that 5 men described as "Israeli tourists," were picked up 8 hours after the WTC attack, "carrying maps linking them to the blasts." "Sources close to the investigation said they found other evidence linking the men to the bombing plot. "There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted," the source said. "It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen when they were at Liberty State Park."According to this account, the 5 "tourists" had been picked up by local police after receiving the following alert from the FBI:
"Vehicle possibly related to New York terrorist attack. White, 2000 Chevrolet van with New Jersey registration with 'Urban Moving Systems' sign on back seen at Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ, at the time of first impact of jetliner into World Trade Center. Three individuals with van were seen celebrating after initial impact and subsequent explosion. FBI Newark Field Office requests that, if the van is located, hold for prints and detain individuals."
