The Moussaoui Compromise
With the way my head works, the headline Judge Accepts Compromise Deal on Moussaoui made rearranged itself as "The Moussaoui Compromise" - bearing no resemblance beyond bad homonymity with The Missouri Compromise and that both are rather complicated.
From what I understand, though, the Moussaoui case revolves around that fact that he lied when in custody prior to 9-11 and that the tragedy might have been reduced or stopped if he hadn't.
Now who expected a terrorist to tell the truth?
Then there's the idiot government attorney Carla J. Martin -- idiot because she should have known better -- who coached potential witnesses for the prosecution. Anyone who has watched even a few episodes of Perry Mason or Matlock on the tele should know that what she did is witness tampering. So who's side is she on? I'd like to see charges of treason brought against her, but it will never happen. She'll probably never see the inside of a prison, either. At most disbarment will be the worst penalty.
