Judge in Moussaoui Case Blocks Release of Sept. 11 Report
Judge in Moussaoui Case Blocks Release of Sept. 11 Report

By Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, April 30, 2005; Page A02

The federal judge overseeing the prosecution of admitted al Qaeda operative Zacarias Moussaoui has blocked an attempt by the Justice Department's inspector general to release a report on FBI missteps prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a ruling unsealed yesterday.

Without explanation, U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema denied the request by Inspector General Glenn A. Fine, who completed the report last July but since has been unable to get permission to provide an unclassified version of the document to the public.

1. Coleen Rowley
The FBI field agent whose investigation of Moussaoui was repeatedly sabotaged by FBI HQ until Sept. 11 2001. She's now a member of Sibel Edmond's whistleblower coalition.

2. and
A classified version of the report was provided to the independent commission that investigated the attacks, and was cited in that panel's best-selling book. But Moussaoui's defense team objected to the report's release in a sealed motion filed earlier this year with Brinkema, a source familiar with the case said.

Frank Dunham, Moussaoui's public defender, could not be reached for comment late yesterday.

Fine's office could seek to release an abbreviated version of the report without references to the Moussaoui case. A spokesman for Fine's office, Paul Martin, declined to say what options might be considered.
