On February 6, 2006, Moussaoui went before a jury to find out his punishment for involvement in the 2001 terrorist attacks on Americans. The fact that Moussaoui is in a criminal court, rather than a military court, signifies that he is being prosecuted as a criminal, rather than a war criminal. The Bush Administration had wanted to prosecute him as an "enemy combatant", in a military court. But federal judges disagreed. As Jacob Hornberger notes, this distinction is very important. It signifies whether or not we are at war, wheter we are still US citizens with rights under the law, or, due to Congress declaring a non-war, and the Bush Administration pushing for the same, we can all be subject to arbitrary government treatment.

Mr. Hornberger is a well known columnist and speaker on contemporary issues, history and economics. His work has appeared in publications such as the "Washington Post", the "Charlotte Observer", "La Prensa San Diego", and "El Nuevo Miami Herald", and Jacob has been a featured commentator on Fox News' Neil Cavuto and Greta van Sustern programs.
