Zacarias Moussaoui admits that he

Zacarias Moussaoui admits that he is "indeed a Muslim fundamentalist openly hostile to the Jews and the United States of America".

You don't say.

Moussaoui's defense strategy appears to aspire to maximum loopiness:

In court papers filled with passages from the Koran and barbed insults aimed at Jews and Christians, Moussaoui attacked the trial judge in the case, as well as the court-appointed defence team that he has since been allowed to fire.

Describing himself repeatedly as a "slave of Allah", Moussaoui referred to three lawyers involved in the defence team as "Jewish zealots" and said he would not undergo a psychiatric examination because he would "not participate in an obscene Jewish `science"'.

He said he had stopped shaking the hands of defence lawyers on his "blood-sucking death team" because "I find them so repulsive as unbelievers".
