The problems with keeping the terrorist goofball alive is (1) a stupid Federal judge might decide he deserves to get out -- the Left will be filled with stories of Moussaoui's "mistreatment" in prison (2) a stupid Federal judge undoubtedly will decide that he needs to be relocated to a place where he can meet with the press every day.
