Wow.

I haven’t been paying much attention to the first Gitmo-based military tribunal of Salim Hamdan, but this caught my eye yesterday evening (via Atrios):

But prosecutor Timothy Stone, in an attempt to draw a link between Hamdan and the al Qaeda leadership in the first Guantanamo war crimes trial, told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan’s guilt or innocence that Hamdan had inside knowledge of the 2001 attacks on the United States because he overheard a conversation between bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

“If they hadn’t shot down the fourth plane it would’ve hit the dome,” Stone, a Navy officer, said in his opening remarks…

Either a poor choice of words, or a slip of the truth. Which is it?
