Legal twist urges US to drop case against Moussaoui
Prosecutors said they made the extraordinary request to speed up an appeal challenging Moussaoui's right to question al-Qaida prisoners.
Prosecutors in Alexandria, Virginia want an appeal court to overrule two lower court orders, which gave Moussaoui the right to question three captives who could testify he was not a conspirator in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
