After 15 years in solitary, convicted terrorist pleads for contact with others

Ramzi Yousef, convicted in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, asks a judge to move him into a more open prison environment. Some agree his treatment is unconstitutional.

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-yousef-solitary-20130217,0,6689449.story

“he is trying to persuade a federal judge to at least release him from solitary confinement. The judge is expected to rule soon whether the suit will go to trial.

Despite his good behavior, Yousef says, he is being kept isolated because he is a convicted terrorist, something he can never change — and that, he argues, is a violation of his due process of law.”

He should have been sentenced to death and executed, then we wouldn’t have this problem.

I know it’s wrong to feel this way, but it’s comforting to know this scumbag is suffering in ways he would never suffer if he was simply dead.

The fact that I desire to add painful physical torture to his sentence concerns me too. Perhaps if these vermin knew they would suffer a living hell when caught, they might reconsider their deeds.
