Oh, the victim card now. Maybe you're a she...you know - one of those Oprah fans.
You think you've been polite to people on this thread? ROFL Fool.
As hard and even a little bitter as it sounds, I sometimes think we, as a people, deserve what we get when we can't even figure out that true justice is also true compassion. True justice in this case is the death penalty for reasons too numerous to list here.
BTW, same thing happened with the terrorists in the first World Trade Center bombing. Life in prison. That was several years before 9/11/01, but sparing the lives of the terrorists in the first case didn't make the Islamofacists hate us any less. They went right on killing Americans around the world until they pulled off the four hijackings, brought the towers down, hit the Pentagon and nearly hit the Capitol or White House.
Someday the Islamofacists will succeed in pulling off even bigger attacks. Sparing Moussaui's life will not spare us.
