...Why is it so important to the prosecution to go to such lengths to prove that Moussaoui deserves to be executed? Damage is done by this undertaking, because if the government fails, then the aroma of the trial will waft toward an ambiguity concerning the entire business. If Moussaoui "prevails" in the Virginia trial — if execution is not ordered by the jury — loose-minded analysts will arrive at the conclusion that he was finally not guilty of atrocious deeds, although he has admitted that he'd happily have been a member of the suicide team if he hadn't been detained by the FBI.
And then adding to the confusion, the public is slowly alerted to the generic question of capital punishment. The practice survives in many states, as also in the federal system. But a long, hideously detailed trial designed to do just one thing — to raise the sentence from a lifetime in prison to capital punishment — has the effect of elevating the one remedy to a distinctiveness which believers in capital punishment reject. If the public holds that execution is appropriate for a murderer, then the public should be spared a judicial flight plan that makes it all sound as though execution depended on the number of screams recorded from people killed by the hijackers.

Sheik Rahman did too. And he inspired cells of 'freedom fighters' to engage in endless terroristic activities for his cause. All they need is a figure head. Life in prison serves that purpose.
"Don't make him a martyr, lock him up for life in solitary and forget about him." What a waste ... insert a needle through his sinuses into his frontal lobes and give him a bit of alcohol and a bit of insulin and a bit of lidocaine, then teach him to rake leaves and carry objects for the rest of his verminous life.
This is truly a battle or conflict of will and faith. There are some that waver and doubt, because this personification of all that is evil and wicked can openly taunt and brag; while re-opening anguish and suffereing for all of us. Under our laws, we can not impose anything near the suffering and pain that has been thrust upon fine people by this individual and his cohorts. Keep the faith that justice will be done.
Kill this virus as soon as possible. He will not infect near as many as if it was an easy life in prison
Thy will, not mine, be done.
That WOULD be justice, it would also take away the incentive for the Muslims to stir up the masses because their brother was executed by the mean nasty Americans. Of course they don't need an incentive; they'd do it no matter what.
they don't like anybody, I don't think.
