From USA Today: "Moussaoui's link to 9/11 is in doubt : Defendant met with planner but could have been involved in separate terror plots, officials say"

This is what we've been saying all along, as recently as yesterday and much earlier, here and here:

A quote from our earlier post:

"He has admitted to being a member of Al Qaeda, and to having knowledge about who committed the attacks. In our opinion, that is not enough to make him a co-conspirator in the Sept. 11 attacks.

One more thing: If the Government's evidence is that Moussaoui was a member of a different conspiracy than the one charged in the Indictment, the jury will be instructed to acquit on the charged conspiracy. They can't win by proving a different conspiracy than the one charged in the Indictment.

So if Moussaoui was being used by Al Qaeda to commit some other terrorist act, e.g. one involving crop dusters on another day in another city or if he hadn't yet been activated, or if they decided his crummy flight training record didn't warrant him being involved in Sept. 11, this case is no slam dunk for the Government. In our opinion, of course."
