Zacarias Moussaoui got a trial continuance and a bigger cell today.

Judge Brinkema "called conditions in his small, windowless cell "inhumane and an unreasonable barrier to his ability to work with the materials produced to him."

The trial is now set for June 30, instead of in January. The Government agreed to the continuance. Could it be they are planning on adding a co-defendant and want to be able to try them together? Ramzi Binalshibh, maybe? Here are our prior thoughts on how that could happen.

Binalshibh has been secreted somewhere since his arrest and turnover by Pakistan. Maybe the Government just wants him as a witness against Moussaoui and needs more time to keep interrogating him without a lawyer as they are known to do with "enemy combatants" in military custody because he hasn't "turned" yet.

We think it's unlikely Binalshibh will talk if he knows that after doing so he is going to be tried in a secret military tribunal and likely to be sentenced to death with no judicial review after his conviction and sentence. What would be in it for him?

Or could the Government be planning on making a deal with Moussaoui for a life sentence in exchange for his guilty plea and giving up Binalshibh?

We haven't heard a word about Binalshibh since he was transferred into U.S. Custody. Where is he being held? What does the Government plan to do with him? Will he be treated like Padilla and Hamdi or will he be charged in federal court?
