William Tucker on a massive dose of ouzo.
Reader's reaction follows. Powwww!

My Frontier Thesis said...: I didn't think Miranda secured that famous "one phone call to the lawyer." I always thought Hollywood created that myth.

Anyhow, the just charges against Moussaoui (and I think you could add conspiracy to murder the president of the United States too):

Conspiracy to Commit Acts of Terrorism Transcending National Boundaries
(18 U.S.C. § 2332b(a)(2) & (c))
(Count One)

Conspiracy to Commit Aircraft Piracy
(49 U.S.C. § 46502(a)(1)(A) and (a)(2)(B))
(Count Two)

Conspiracy to Destroy Aircraft
(18 U.S.C. § 32(a)(7) & 34)
(Count Three)

Conspiracy to Use Weapons of Mass Destruction
(18 U.S.C. § 2332a(a))
(Count Four)

Conspiracy to Murder United States Employees
(18 U.S.C. § 1114 & 1117)
(Count Five)

Conspiracy to Destroy Property
(18 U.S.C. § 844(f), (i), (n))
(Count Six); 4/21/2006 10:38 AM
