Alive, Moussaoui serves as a pretext for "hostages" to be taken, with the threat to kill them unless Moussaoui is released. I expect this to happen repeatedly from now on, with most of those taken suffering the ultimate penalty that Moussaoui should have paid.
For this reason only, Moussaoui is right that "we lost."
Bullsh!t... he did not win.
We will NOT LOSE. I won't accept it.
There will be some dark days ahead. We must also wage war on the enemy within..
I agree. It happens, just consider all of those who suffered because Islamofacists were convinced we had "Muslim women" as prisoners.
As far as I'm concerned, this jury has betrayed all of us. I've known too many people who suffered this same kind of abuse, relatively common, and not felt compelled to kill thousands of innocent people. As one family member said, if anyone ever deserved the death penalty, he did.
As for the idiot juror who was afraid she would be hounded by the press? Three guesses as to how SHE voted!!
We lost on several levels by sparing Moussaoui's life. Moussaoui was referring to al Quaeda's murderous mentality as they purposefully and gleefully killed 3,000 Americans on 9-11 and wreaked havoc on our economy, and are planning much more mayhem. Meanwhile, America seemingly doesn't have the spine to execute the only one of them that we captured. Apparently, he was referring to the fear in our society instilled by himself and his 'brethren', and our soft response towards those who are trying to destroy us.
The upside is that we showed the world that America stands on infinately higher moral ground than does islam.
