Judge orders U.S. to give up pre-9/11 documents

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema has ordered government lawyers to give defense lawyers documents describing what the government knew about the 9/11 conspiracy prior to September 11, 2001.

Lawyers for Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged by the U.S. in the 9/11 conspiracy, allege that the government knew more about the conspiracy than did the defendant.
