Moussaoui lives.. why?

Why does he live? Seirosuly?

He's made countless admissions to wanting to kill AMericans, to being part of Al-Queda, and he said he was supposed ot be one of the hijackers.

Why does he live?

This is just a moral victory for terrorist everywhere-- we dont punish terrorist, instead we give them a better life then they had in whatever "poop"hole they came from.

id say put him into a military prison

you know with the people who torture people for a living, but got into trouble and got sent to prison

a life of torture is better

He wanted to die, we're denying him that chance. I think it's just.

Al-Queda didn't even want him to be part of it, they thought he was too obvious for an operative, and too dumb to learn to fly. They proved to be right. The man is a wannabe. Ley's not turn this loser into a martyr.

Him dead = Him Hero

Him tortured = Our victory

Which is why they should have debated until it became a hung jury (no pun intended)

That way, new jury.


And procarb, no. Your example isnt a conspiracy.

He had plans, he was going to do it, but got arrested.

In your example, you chose not to do it, no longer making it a viable threat (though in the future maybe...)


Dai Hui- him dead = dead martyr, but dead terrorist.

Him tortured = more worldwide outrage

Him in jail = terrorist now think w'ere too soft on terrorism. If he gets broken out, whats to say he wont kill Americans? Whats to say he wont kill prisoners?

I just hope a prisoner hates him enough that they finish the job...

Doubt it Al Quida has already said he was an embarrastment to their group.

If he gets tortured yes their will be outrage but also other terrorists will realize how much we despise them. Yes this is rather over the top idea but everywon here wants to know that he is in pain.

Hey, I hate terrorist as much as the next guy (Atleast I hope the next guy hates them a lot), and if given 10 minutes alone with one.. no telling what I would do to show them how much hatred I have for people of their kind...

But, it's not the terrorist we need to show. It's the world.

I am all for torture for info and saving lives, but torturing in prison steps over the bounds, even for me, and the world would not stand for it.

I say force him to do everything not allowed by his religion.. make himd rink alcohol, etc etc, then kill him and dont give him the honor of having a buriel from his religion.

It's NOT a diss to Islam.. it's a diss to him.

Linus,  I stand by the same view I had in the last thread I posted in.

Give him life in prison, not some famous huge prison, some random "average" Prison.  Give him no special treatment, treat him EXACTLY like the burgler in the cell next to him and the drug dealer accross from him.  Stop covering this trial now, never mention him again on the news, stop showing his face, stop saying his name on the media.  The whole point of his mission was not so much to kill people as it was to invoke fear and spread their message.  Yes, the objective was to bomb this places and kill thousands but the point was to spread fear.  You keep publicizing him and he becomes a martyr.  Hes already a martyr in fact, treat him like your average prison scum and hes just another criminal, the LAST thing he'd want. 

No solitary confinement, no extra guarded cell, no special treatment or markings. 

God, a lot of you are no better than the people we are fighting....torture...please.

I'm glad he's in jail, but I don't think he deserves the death penalty. Well, I don't think anyone deserves the death penalty.
