under what conditions does khalid shaikh mohammed appear in the courtroom? is he in isolation?es he actually sit in the courtroom and are you able to sit there and watch this man? >> well, just the opposite. he sits inside this maximum security courtroom with his four defendants. each one in a chair unshackled next to their defense lawyers. military and civilian. and there are guards lining the walls but he's allowed to sit there like any other defendant. we, the media, and the public that have come down here, including victims, for example, new york city firefighters, sit inside a glass room with a 40-second delay. we hear what goes on in court 40 seconds after it is said, in case khalid shaikh mohammed or any of the other men describe what happened to them, where they were held, how they were interrogated. in the four years they were held by the cia before they got to guantanamo in 2006. they look like ordinary defendants with one key exception -- they are allowed to choose their attire. and today khalid shaikh mohammed and another of the defendants came to court in paramilit

that individual was identified as khalid husani. the fbi immediately served legal process to fully identify him. we went up on electronic surveillance and identified his co-conspirators and this was the plot that was in the very initial stages of plotting to bomb the new york stock exchange. we were able to disrupt the plot. we were able to lure some individuals to the united states and we were able to affect their arrest and they were conflicted for this terrorist activity. >> and so the fbi official there saying that this was a plot that was in the very initial stages in terms of an attempt to bomb the new york stock exchange. now, we've been able to get a may 2010 plea agreement in the western district of missouri, western division, for khalid ouazzani. this is between. in this plea agreement what's interesting is they don't talk at all about a plot to bomb the new york stock exchange. they talk about bank fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization, but there are indications here t

this individual was in contact with an individual in the united states need khalid uazani, individuals identified through the fisk were able to detect a nascent plotting to bomb the new york stock exchange. uazani had been providing information and support to this plot. the fbi disrupted and arrested these individuals. also david headley, the u.s. citizen living in chicago. responsible for the killing of over 160 people. also n. sa through coverage of an al qaeda affiliate it had terrorist found that he was working on a plot to bomb a danish newspaper office that had published the cartoon depiction shuns of the prophet muhammad. in fact, headley later confessed to personally conducting surveillance of the newspaper office. he and his co-conspirators were convicted of this plot. lastly, the fbi had opened an investigation shortly after 9/11. we did not have enough information nor did we find links to terrorism, so we shortly thereafter closed the investigation. however, the nsa using the business record fisa tipped us off that this individual had indirect contacts with a known terrorist

today khalid shaikh mohammed was back in court with his dyed orange beard and he was wearing a whiten and a camouflage vest in a nice woodland pattern. another one of his co-defendants wore a white scarf, and u.s. navy desert camouflage, as if he is in the u.s. navy or in the desert. but again, that is under way. people who commit crimes of violence for political reasons often want to use their trial to try to make some kind of political point, and so there are fights at these trials about symbolic things like what they're wearing, and there are theatrical rejections of the court's authority and they make statements to try tome barros the government and the military. not all of the time but often. they do their darnedest to try to turn the whole thing into a circus. and you know what? who cares? khalid shaikh mohammed wears something weird to court and tries to tell someone 9/11 was a great idea. okay, sure, that happened. he's neither more guilty nor less guilty as a result. major nidal hasan wants to be his own lawyer and pledge his protective love for one-eyed mullah omar in his c
