The Judge presiding over the case of accused 9/11 co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui has scheduled a change of plea hearing for Friday, following yesterday's closed door hearing. The last time Moussaoui tried to plead guilty it was a disaster. Will Moussaoui do better this time? Last time, Moussaoui did not confess to any of the charges against him that pertain to the September 11 attacks. He said he was a member of Al Qaeda and he knew who planned the attacks. What will he admit to Friday?

If the plea is accepted, Moussaoui will face a death penalty proceeding.

Update: Dahlia Lathwick at Slate has a good column on Moussaoui today.

    If Lathwick has it right, he might not be guilty of anything he could be executed for and might, just might be not guilty of anything more than Al Q membership. Time to put in the ear plugs, tie on the blindfold, and hum loudly.
