Why I favor life for Moussaoui

If he's "small fry", Dr. Einstein, he's not likely to make much of a martyr, is he?

Ok that comment shows a completely lack of understanding of the Muslim world but keep going.....

So tell me again, if it is stupid to execute the dullard "small fry" Moussoui because it would make him a martry, why would it not be 1000 times more stupid to execute the charismatic and highly influential (among the Islamofascists) Osama bin Laden?

Awww you can't read? NO I won't rehash it for you....

Now, if you want to argue that he shouldn't be executed because you belive his offenses were minor then just say so. Trying to frighten FReepers by playing the "martyr" card is beyond ridiculous.

Who said I was trying to frighten anyone? When and where did I say his offenses were "minor"? You can't even fabricate that one there. Try again.

Your post made my illogic and inanity meter peg out way past the redline.

Welcome to the real world. Guess what, it IS Illogical out there. Have a nice day. It would be a miracle if this was your epiphany, but I know it isn't.

And you don't think there's going to be any drama now?

France is already making noise about demanding Moussaoui be extradited to serve out his sentence in a French prison, for as long as it takes them to find a convenient excuse to cut him loose. Over here, the usual suspects (Amnesty International, ACLU, et. al.) are already starting to claim that Supermax detention is Unconstitutional, while the Drive-By Media is starting to argue that Moussaoui was a small fish and his conviction just doesn't mean much ("so isn't life in one of those cruel and unusual Supermax prisons a bit excessive? If we're going to put anyone in one of them it ought to be Bush!").

And while the feds can certainly keep him in almost total isolation and away from his fellow inmates, they cannot deny him access to his attorneys. So even if Moussaoui himself can't go in front of the fawning Drive-By press corps to rant and rave and trash George Bush and America, his attorneys can dutifully relay his unhinged tirades to the adoring media.

They can breathlessly tell the media all about how Moussaoui is being abused by the prison guards, how he doesn't have a proper prayer mat, how the food isn't prepared in accordance with Islam and how his crapper faces Mecca. And of course, the media will eagerly print every word without question.

They can file appeal after appeal after appeal for every little technicality you can imagine and a bunch you can't, and spend the rest of their careers living very comfortably on the gravy train. And it will be a very rich and endless buffet, because Zacharias Moussaoui will now be the cause celebre for every leftist and Islamist group and sympathizer in the world. Money will pour in from all over in huge amounts, and every Ramsey Clark/Lynne Stewart wannabe lawyer on the planet will be selling their families into bondage to join the team. Student activists in every law school in America will be doing "pro bono" work on his behalf.

The only thing that can stop it is when the next Dim administration caves to all the pressure and just turns him loose, and even that will just be a temporary setback, until they can find the next Muslim "victim of American imperialism."

This case is totally different from the cases of the WTC bombers, and all of the other terrorism cases that preceeded it. We just told the whole world that we don't have the will to put to death a man who had direct involvement in the deaths of almost 3,000 American civilians. We just told bin Laden, Zarqawi and every Muslim who aspires to be the next generation of those two that all they have to do is play on our guilt and use our own system against us, and we'll fold like a cheap suit.

If we had executed him, the drama would have ended with that. As it is, the drama will continue for the rest of his miserable life, and for the rest of the miserable lives of the other terrorists we're fool enough to put through our courts. Forever.

Allah demands blood sacrifice.

Islamofascist; Radical Islam is an insane death cult, and "moderate" Islam is it's Trojan Horse in the ~~West~~ World.

PAUL JOHNSON BEHEADED

Islam is not a religion; it embodies no concept of spirituality.

Islam is a political system.

The 'peace of allah' is the peace of ultimate submission, never having to question, never having to decide, just to do as you are told; the peace of the hive, a queen named allah and her many drone workers.

Islam is a system of coercion.

Islam IS a terrorist support network

That's the lawyers. That's what lawyers do. You know people detest lawyers the world over.

Tell me where the threat from ZM is now?

It's in 23 hours of solitary and the AQ morons don't have another on of THEIR heroes to point too.

I have been freeping since 97. Daily.

FR has no record of any activity by you on this forum on 4/2/06 and 4/3/06.

That's just two of several instances that appear on the first page of your posting history.

So, why say "daily" with a capital D?

.........and anybody that changes their FR handle after 8+ years without making reference as to their old screenname obviously wants something to be buried and long gone.

It's in being something even more valuable than a martyr - he becomes the man who fought us on our own turf and on our own terms, and won. Rush read a number of quotes from a column that the author picked up from the Islamist web sites - these people are ecstatic. As far as they're concerned, there couldn't have been a better outcome. In their minds there's no question as to who won. They believe they've discovered the key to destroying us once and for all.

Give it a couple months.

They are making comments now because he's the lead story on a lot of news stations.

Just wait until Iran's next move. ZM won't even be mentioned.

Just as he shouldn't be.

Death is too good for him. It's what he wants and it's what AQ wants.
