A month after deciding Moussaoui was competent to represent himself, the Judge may be having second thoughts. Judge Brinkema correctly noted "The competence of a defendant must be considered by a court whenever the issue is properly raised." Prosecutors weren't too happy with that one.

Stand-by counsel told the Judge that Moussaoui is unstable. In today's unsealed pro se filing, he compared his situation to that of Lee Harvey Oswald, fearing a similar assasination. "Or they migh (sic) claim that I committed suicide. After all they already have done the ground work by claim (sic) that I was mentally unstable, paranoid."
