Feds Gave Terror Suspect Top Secret Info The government mistakenly gave alleged terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui classified documents related to al Qaeda, ABCNEWS has learned. The material � both on disk and as hard copy documents � was sent to Moussaoui as part of discovery for his legal defense, said several legal sources, including one at the Justice Department. Moussaoui is awaiting trial in federal court in Virginia on six charges of conspiracy in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks. Sent In Connection With Court Case Officials "are not 100 percent certain, but there is no evidence that Zacarias Moussaoui had read" the classified material, the Justice Department official said. The sensitive material apparently was sent over among items the government is required to turn over to Moussaoui for his legal defense before it was "scrubbed" of secret material, and prosecutors then had to play catch up when they realized the mistake. After the foul-up was discovered, U.S. marshals, with the permission of U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who is hearing Moussaoui's case, searched Moussaoui's Alexandria, Va., jail cell at least three times, sources said. It is not clear if all the classified material has been retrieved. Authorities are "still looking into it, in terms of making sure we did get everything back," the Justice Department source said. �Cannonballs Are Rolling� Another source said, "Cannonballs are rolling around at the Department of Justice and the FBI," because there is considerable anger at high levels about how something like this could have happened. However, the Justice Department source noted that even if Moussaoui had seen something, "He is unable to communicate with the outside world," so the information could not go beyond him. The source added the likelihood Moussaoui ferreted out the classified material would be like "finding a needle in a very large haystack." The Justice Department source could not shed any light on how the mix-up happened, how many trips the U.S. marshals made into the jail cell or if they are returning. He also refused to further characterize the kind of information Moussaoui received. -- Outgoing mail is certified virus free Scanned by Norton AntiVirus In fact, one thing that I have noticed...is that all of these conspiracy theories depend on the perpetrators being endlessly clever. I think you'll find the facts also work if you assume everyone is endlessly stupid. ~~Brian E.
