Moussaoui

It's decided then life in prison. Before anyone starts with the "we should not make a martyr out of him, this is real punishment, bit." Consider for a second that he now will be free to attend the Mosque weekly while preaching his brand of extremist Islam. He will have a life time to recruit disenfranchised Muslims to the terrorist cause. Hopefully, we can get some frontier justice (ie: tooth brush to the neck) but I am not holding my breath. After the verdict was read Moussaoui said "America, you lost. I won." He clapped his hands as he was escorted away.

Sure did not seem like he wanted the death penalty. The jurors believed that his role was not significant enough to warrant death. While I was not on the jury, it seems that if we catch an Al Qaeda terrorist that admits and rejoices to being a terrorist the least we can do is oblige him with death.

Update: it appears that Moussaoui is going to super max, not sure how long he will be classified as a super max prisoner or how long it will be until the Frenchies try and get him transferred to France. I still think he should have received the death penalty. I think that people who admit to being Al Qaeda in court should be put to death.
