Call me old fashioned, but as soon as he was caught, I would have taken Moussaoui outside, doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. That is the only type of justice terrorists understand, and anything less is considered weakness.
Better yet, cutting off his head would send a stunning message.........(but we aren't barbarians).
Mussoui should be sent to a pig work farm and photographed associating with pigs rather than being allowed to indoctrinate disenfranchised prisoners who could be released to carry on his agenda against America.
Although his concept of becoming a martyr for the cause was derailed, his continued life behind bars will only become a security issue and potentially cause hostage/prisoner release issues for future terrorist kidnappers.
Thank the jurors.they have propegated terror because they bought into the victim defense ploy.
You forgot the pork entrails.

I won't call you old fashioned. More likely, except you didn't suggest first slashing his throat with a cardboard cutter and letting him bleed out as he burned, islamanazi.
But, methodology aside, you're on the right track and this enemy agent and every other like him came to America to commit acts of total war against our nation and should have been summarily executed.
In war the benefit of the doubt belongs absolutely to the state.
And it should greatly trouble us all, during time off from being concerned our border security is but a bloody joke to them, that the Bush administration seems to lack either the appreciation of or the balls to act upon that fact.
