The point that you either do not understand, or are refusing to acknowledge, is that you, nor your "many people" are the terrorist, Moussaoui. What you and your "many people" may prefer is not an indicator of what Moussaoui prefers. He has made it quite clear that he feels he won today by getting life instead of death. What more information about his mindset could you possibly need??
Chena, he feels he won because he's not going INTO the situation that I recommended for him. He won't be in solitary, he will have lots of interaction with guards, he will get mail, etc. He knows that he will be able to communicate with outside terrorists but if he was kept in solitary all of the time and had no mail right, I think he would prefer death. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to hang himself or something in jail.
