[[Patricia Reilly, who lost her sister Lorraine Lee in the New York attacks, was deflated. "I guess in this country you can kill 3,000 people and not pay with your life," she said. "I feel very much let down by this country."]]
Hopefully he will get the Jeffrey Dahmer treatment in prison.
The sentence was correct.
To sentence a human to death for running his mouth and having a loose connection to a Jihadi movement is at best ludicrous, and at worst a mockery of the ultimate penalty.
He knew nothing....He is only a piece of human garbage and the best punishment for that is life.
Even though he is sentenced to life he still has a chance to get out.
When will the bleeding hearts learn that you have to kill this worthless vermin.
That jury really let the whole country down. So far, I note they have remained anonymous--maybe for good reason.
Okiedoc, I just heard the wife of one of the victims telling Fox News that "now he could learn how wonderful our system is, that perhaps he could regain his humanity"--paraphrased, but close to what she said. As long as people think this way, we're going to keep getting hit by these subhumans. They view such sentiments as weakness--binLaden himself said so in one of his several "declarations of war." He had nothing but disgust for Clinton (who was in office at the time) for essentially being all talk and no muscle.
When "tolerance" is our only virtue, we have no others.
The "parts" we feel worth saving had better begin to start planning for our defeat, OR for the defeat of our enemies.
He knew nothing? He knew how to make a passenger liner take off, but he told his instructors he didn't need to learn how to land one. Been drinking the liberal kool-aid again?
Neither she nor you should feel let down by America. The real America is outraged at the verdict. And it wasn't America who betrayed justice. It was the Leftism that has been a disease on American values for six decades and that paralyzed the ability of the jurors to apply critical analysis, objective interpretation, and to acknowledge a difference between good and evil and act accordingly.
It is disgusting. But I don't blame America, except that we have allowed the Left to advance this far upon our traditions.
Amen to that.
I have dealt with these people and they only understand power.
They respect those who have it and disrespect those who don't.
I have been reading every post about this because I still can't believe it. Well, I can believe it, but I don't want to.

It is my belief that Moussaoui will receive his just reward for the evil he has done. There is always the possibility that someone will off him in prison, or he will contract some catastrophic and horribly painful illness...or in the next life, when he faces his Maker, he may be condemned to suffer for eternity for his sins. So however unjust this sentence may be, somewhere along the line he will receive what's due.
I hope that puts some perspective on what the jury had to do, but I doubt you are listening.
LOL, how touching.
Of course, there is a part of me that hopes France does get him. Let the frogs pay for his upkeep for the rest of his life.

No...I see some extremists bombing a railway station somewhere in France, and France in turn letting him go. Sounds plausible, given France's penchant for surrender.
Rationalize if you must, I will not.
I agree this should have been tried by a military tribunal. However, the problem in civil court goes back before our current President. The concept that the jurors could even consider Moussai's childhood as a factor in their deliberations goes back to the liberal weenie courts, whose judges were appointed by past Democrat liberal administration. Had the jurors only been permitted to consider the facts and not all these so-called "mitigating factors," perhaps the sentence would have been different.
BTW, our "parts" are very few, as evidenced on the posts on this thread alone.
Ah, but we might KILL him incidentally, and that would be OK.
So what!
What did he do?
How can you kill someone for running their mouth, unless they are on a battle field.
Justice was done. The verdict was correct and I would have been upset if it had gone the other way. There was little justification but the guy's own words to sentence him to death, and we don't do that sort of thing in this country.
It is only done in authoritarian regimes or dictatorships.
What really worries me is that people are reacting so emotionally to this verdict without any consideration given to the actual acts done. They could not even connect him directly with the conspiracy, as being the 20th high-jacker. If I used that same logic on other cases, I would have to kill all my relatives. (they have threatened me plenty)
What was actually done? Well, if I had driven one or more of my friends to a bank robbery, and one of them had killed someone in the process, I'd be as guilty as they, even though I'd never touched the gun. This guy was learning to make a passenger jet take off because he knew about a plan to attack our cities. He didn't need to learn to land because all he needed to know was how to hit a building.
Use your logic.
