To be of memetic value, his confession would have to be widely available to those who believe Al Quaeda's view of the world, and accepted as the truth by them. Somehow,I don't think the radical elements that are determined to convert Islam into the creed of terrorism will publish Moussaoui's comments, preferring to point out the fact that he is being held incommunicado by the US government, and is therefore unable to verify the statements attributed to him.
