'20th Hijacker' Offers Guilty Plea and Cooperation
He is charged with helping plan the September 11 attack. During his third arraignment on amended charges, Zacarias Moussaoui offered to enter a guilty plea.
"For the guilt phase, I'm guilty," he told the judge. "But for the death penalty, we will see." You'd think in this day and age, it'd be hard to pull off a complete surprise. Moussaoui is representing himself.

U.S. Representative James Traficant (D-Ohio) has been found guilty on all 10 charges he faced, including kickbacks, fraud, bribery, and racketeering. The Congressman, known for his
hatred of the IRS(
God bless him) and his love of
pork barrel projects, has lit up the Congress with his
bombastic behavior since he was elected in 1984. Controversy has never been far from Traficant, he still claims that the trial is due to the
bizarre, humorous, and grotesque story of his mob-funded election to Sheriff of Youngstown. He claims that he will run as an
independent in the newly formed 17th District in the next congressional election. Will he be out of jail? Does he have a chance? What is
Congress going to do with him?
