ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- The government has asked a judge to dismiss all charges against terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui, according to a motion released Thursday. Prosecutors said they made the extraordinary request to hasten an appeal challenging the defendant's right to question al-Qaida prisoners.

Prosecutors want an appellate court to overrule two district court orders that gave Moussaoui the right to question three captives who he says could testify he was not a conspirator in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

``In light of the rulings this court has already made ... the government believes that, at this juncture, dismissal of the indictment ... is the surest route for ensuring that the questions at issue here can promptly be presented to the 4th Circuit (Court of Appeals),'' the written motion said.

4. No he will not go free

he will get a one-way ticket to Gitmo. Remeber they don't have bother with those pesky courts with their sissy liberal "rules of evidence" and "defendant's rights" they can just dissapear his ass and we may never know what happenes to him (or whether he was really guilty of what he is accused of).

2. WOW. WOW.

So either:

1) There never was a case, and they persecuted someone without just cause, or

2) They have a case, and are willing to allow a terrorist to go free to avoid cracking open the 9/11 Big Lie even more.

Wow. That's all I can say right now. Just...wow.
