The first witness, Harry Samit, an F.B.I. agent in Minnesota who questioned Zacarias Moussaoui at his arrest, firmly asserted that had he been given the truth they would have several new leads to investigate, and the plot might have been thwarted. Instead, he said, Mr. Moussaoui's answers sent investigators on a lost cause. Under cross-examination by Edward B. MacMahon Jr., a court-appointed lawyer for Mr. Moussaoui, Mr. Samit acknowledged that after the attacks he had written strongly worded reports saying his superiors had improperly blocked his efforts to investigate Mr. Moussaoui.
