ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (AP) -- Confessed al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui said it made his day to hear accounts of Americans' suffering from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Taking the witness stand for the second time in his death-penalty trial Thursday, Moussaoui mocked a Navy sailor who wept on the stand as she described the death of two of her subordinates.
"I think it was disgusting for a military person" to cry, Moussaoui said of the testimony of Navy Lt. Nancy McKeown. "She is military, she should expect people at war with her to want to kill her." Asked if he was happy to hear her sobbing, he said, "Make my day."
Moussaoui also said on cross-examination that he is convinced President Bush will free him before the end of his term and that he will return to London. Prosecutor Rob Spencer tried several times to get Moussaoui to say he didn't really believe that, but Moussaoui was insistent. "I haven't doubted it for one single second," said Moussaoui, adding that the vision came to him in a dream just like his dream of flying a plane into the White House.
