Eric Holder's Horrible Hearing

Mary Katharine Ham TWS "... you know what [Moussaoui] would do? He would wait until the judge left the courtroom, and the jury left, and then he would spew this terrible anger," she says. "Hateful, hateful stuff. .  .  . We're gonna have that in New York? For years?" The trial, which ended with Moussaoui's guilty plea, was notorious for its theatrics.
