Richard Reid was arrested in December 2001 for trying to detonate explosives aboard a U.S. airliner.
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Shoe bomber Richard Reid denies a central part of al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui's testimony -- that the pair intended to hijack a passenger jet together and fly it into the White House during the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The denial came as testimony ended in the seven-week trial. Closing arguments are set to begin Monday.
To date, Moussaoui is the only person tried in the United States in connection with the September 11 attacks. The 37-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent pleaded guilty to terrorism conspiracy charges a year ago.

come on PJ, I want your $0.02 on this one....
I got nuthin that hasn't already been said a thousand times.
be that as it may:
There was a Dead Kennedys song that wasn't really a song, more just a recition of a fabled conversation between the Secratay of War U.S. and the (assumed)English Prime Minister.
Essentially it boils down to the Idea that American companies/ powers have been aching for a big fight for a long time and that the last 10-15 attempts just weren't doing the trick.
At face value the "song" sounds silly and conspiracy thoery driven. Then you look at the way the world is working out lately and you just start to wonder.
