GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — The accused mastermind of the worst terror attack in U.S. history told a Guantanamo Bay military judge on Thursday that he wants to be put to death so he can become a martyr.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed also sang verses from the Koran, rejected his attorneys and told Judge Ralph Kohlmann, a Marine colonel, that he wants to represent himself at the war crimes trial. The judge warned that he faces execution if convicted of organizing the attacks on America. But the former No. 3 leader of Al Qaeda was insistent.

I am reminded of a quote from the movie "300" where the Persian King Xerxes remarks:

"There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Sparta from the histories. Every piece of Greek parchment shall be burned. Every Greek historian and every scribe shall have their eyes put out and their tongues cut from their mouths. Why, uttering the very name of Sparta or Leonidas will be punishable by death. The world will never know you existed at all!"

Take and apply to this clown

I say make him put on the Goofy costume at Disney World for the next 10 years. And if he misbehaves, slap him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper and scream “No falafel for you!” in the Soup Nazi voice.

Don’t give him martyrdom, give him 105 years of solitary confinement...

What would be the wieniest, most mealy-mouthed way to die? Aaahhhh, drowning in pork stew or something .... I nominate THAT way. Painless, smells good, guaranteed to get him straight to Hades.

With respect, I suggest that the 105 years is fine but relegate him to cleaning the pig farm and tending to their needs - feeding, washing, etc.

We obviously don’t get it yet - life is not important to these scumbags. Now if you had threathned to flush his koran down the toilet, that would have gotten his attention!

Not another dime should be spent on his trial, on appeals, or on lawyers.

As he is an unlawful combatant, he should not have the benefit of a firing squad. The traditional punishment for unlawful noncombatants is death by hanging.

No point breaking with a perfectly good tradition.

It might even be fun to watch. Like in the movie "Hannibal". The pigs could start with his feet

I was thinking of denying him the light of day and blue skies, but your idea might work, too.

I'd be happy to oblige him: are we taking applications yet?
