Bin bin al-Shibh, like Mohammed, said he too wanted to reject his court-appointed lawyers and represent himself. Judge Kohlmann tried to determine—as he did with Mohammed—whether the defendant fully understood the charges against him. "To you, they are accusations or charges," the bearded and shackled bin al-Shibh replied, speaking through an Arabic translator. "To me, they are not. I refuse those terms."
But did he understand that if he is found guilty, he could face a "death sentence"? Kohlmann continued.
"I am seeking martyrdom for five years," bin al-Shibh replied. "I tried for September 11 to get a visa and I could not. If this martyrdom happens today, I welcome it. God is great! God is great! God is great!"
The defendant, who had just essentially confirmed that he had sought to become the so-called 20th hijacker, then added: "I do understand I will be killed for the sake of God. But I don't understand that I am guilty."
But al-Shibh's ability to make the choice about representing himself was quickly challenged by his own court-appointed lawyers, who tried to raise again the "new information" they said they had received about drugs he was allegedly being given against his will. Bin al-Shibh seemed to confirm this, telling the judge he was "forced to take" the unspecified medication after his arrest more than five years ago and was told "if I do not, my situation will be worse." When he began to explain how he was given the medication, the court's security officer pressed a buzzer that made the discussion inaudible to the news media and legal observers watching from behind a windowed room in the back of the courtroom. (Lawyers said later that the discussion involved bin al-Shibh's account of where he was taken and given the medication during his years in CIA custody—a matter that remains highly classified.) In any case, bin al-Shibh said that as far as he was concerned the forced psychotropic medication didn't matter. "My mental capacity is absolutely fine," he said. "I don't think that there is reason to force lawyers on me that I don't want."
No sooner did the judge accept bin al-Shibh's decision than he began asking the same questions of Ali—who turned out to be a fluent English speaker and proved to be somewhat sophisticated. (Ali, who is accused of wiring $120,000 to the 9/11 hijackers, described himself as a "Microsoft-certified computer engineer.")
"No offense, lawyers," he said. "I am in the wrong court. I am not a criminal. My case is political." He then seemed to poke some fun at one of Kohlmann's questions to all the defendants: Did they understand that lawyers would be provided to them "free of charge"—a somewhat odd inquiry given that the defendants have all been incarcerated by the CIA and U.S. military for the past five years without access to any funds they might have once had. "The government has tortured me free of charge for all those years," Ali said. "The lawyers here today are for decoy, for decoration."
