And who is this guy? What happened to Zachariah Moussaoui being the 20th hijacker?
TPM:
The Wall Street Journal today suggests one answer:
An alleged 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 conspiracy attempted suicide rather than face a Guantanamo Bay military commission and now suffers from such mental impairment that he can't adequately help in his own defense, his civilian lawyer says.
The contention suggests one possible reason the Defense Department last week dismissed charges against Mohammed al-Qahtani, who faced a potential death penalty if convicted in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. At the time, the administrator of the military commissions, Susan Crawford, gave no explanation. Mr. Qahtani remains under indefinite detention, and prosecutors may seek to file amended charges.
In 2002 Mr. Qahtani suffered a severe and prolonged interrogation that a Pentagon review later labeled "abusive and degrading." Some military investigators and prosecutors feared that the coercive treatment had ruined a potential case against Mr. Qahtani, under legal and ethical rules.

Look get over it the US did and does torture, rape, drug and kill innocent men/woman/children prisoners. We transport people to countries for torture and the facts wont change. Victims have been proven to have been tortured, raped, drugged and killed while in US custody. Now all that's left is for other countries to do the same to the American people and US soldiers. Don't worry it will happen and don't ask for help as the US had no problem doing it to others.
The US wouldn't know a terrorist if they were face to face. The Hijackers Families were paid by the Saudi King/US. These men were personally selected for the job by the Saudi/US and as we saw had no problem doing what they came to do. Now to show you how well the US planned it the Hijackers even continued to have their passports up dated after their death.
