Just noted this now, thoughts on Moussaoui's sentence
Having missed my regular train and not having been able to get my media fix in for the evening, I just got confirmation of the life sentence for Mr. Moussaoui.
I am very pleased by this sentence. The man was an incompetent cowardly hanger-on to the real murderers of September 11th. Having been too incompetent to be allowed to take part in the attacks on 9/11, he clearly now wished to take the cowards way out by forcing the government to take his life.
By not giving him that option, the jury has done the right thing and struck a strong blow against radical terrorists who seek to have someone else make them into martyrs. They have shown that the rule of law and the wisdom of the regular american citizen will win out over those who seek to subvert our legal system as part of their cowardly recruiting efforts.
