Was Moussaoui to hijack the 5th plane on 9/11 as he has claimed, or is he mentally disturbed? Why was he given a life sentence rather than sentenced to death? And did he really plead guilty because he didn't think there was any way he could get a fair trial in America? Did he plead guilty only because he wanted to be given the death sentence and die a martyr? Will any of this become any clearer now he has appealed the final judgment and sentence? And if he was to be the 5th hijacker, has he been able to identify others who would have flown with him? (See "More".)
In an interesting point, Moussaoui had been advised in court that in pleading guilty he had waived his right to ever appeal his convictions.
Also on the Moussaoui case, the Jury forewoman has told the New York Times that it was a single juror who prevented the death sentence judgement. At no point did that juror identify themself or put forward their argument/s for discussion.
More: Moussaoui shouted out in court: "Crazy or not crazy? That is the question." He also said that Richard Reid, the British shoe bomber, was to act as his accomplice in hijacking a fifth plane - but there is no evidence of that - and Reid was not in the US at the time.
