A punk that’s still getting media coverage; after all, if he had gotten the death penality then he would have been able to soapbox all of his appeals.
Since that didn’t happen, he’s got to do something else to stay in the spotlight. |

Come on, Mark, when is the last time you saw or heard of a death penalty sentence without appeal or "a soapbox?" |

This makes perfect sense given his comment about America losing and him winning, doesn’t it?

That’s what I get for posting from work, but I thought that I had written words which indicated that Moussaoui would have used his death sentence appeals as additional opportunities to get on a soapbox and babble whatever message he’s trying to get out. Since he didn’t get the death penalty, he’s got to try another trick to be considered newsworthy.
If nothing else, his main and only pleasure in life will be his being the biggest PITA that he can be. Countless BS appeals and motions will be coming out of that boy for the many years that we’ve given him. Whee.

Yeah, Mark, I think he misread you. Your use of "after all" may have thrown him for a loop. I had to read the sentence twice myself. |

I figure he’s just trying to keep the legal system tied up in knots. It would be a good model for terrorists to follow, because we’ll generally fall for it, and there are more years and more dollars wasted every time it happens.

Yeah, Mark, I think he misread you. Yeah, I think I did too (sorry ’bout that) ... after reading it again.
Ah well, I guess I’ll have to give up that speed reading course. |

He planned on making a circus out of his internment whether he lives or dies. The difference is that he’ll be able to do it for 30+ years instead of 10.
And, this was his first attempt. It won’t be long before someone helps him pick better battles.
Tookie was choosen to be heavily defended against the Death Penalty, because such a cold blooded killer potentially getting spared the death penalty was a huge headline/controversy generator. There are fewer, but there are still people who believe a Supermax violates a prisoner’s rights. I’m sure they’ll see a similar opportunity for headlines and use Moussoaui to generate attention.
He should have had a trial and if found guilty, dead within 6 mo. of being apprehended. A military trial (or whatever its called) would have been a step in the right direction.
Regardless, just the fact the verdict is almost 5 years in the making is an indicitment of our ridiculous court system. It scares me how many people want this kind of ordeal for prisoners at GITMO and POWs in general. It would make military action (or at least taking prisoners) such a burden, we couldn’t even wage a war to defend ourselves. But, perhaps that’s the point.
In this case, Life is not a victory. The Death Penalty adminstered 10-15 years down the road is slight improvement but still not a victory. The people we’re dealing with would have executed Moussoaui within weeks to a few months of capture at most. We’ve come off looking like a joke already no matter what happened.
As for Moussaoui, he’s probably gonna wait for a hostage exchange offer. Whereas if he was dead within a year of his apprehension, that wouldn’t have been a problem.

I agree totally that Moussaoui is a bloated, sinister punk with illusions of grandeur, who tried to make himself look important by insulting the memory of the victims of 9/11 and disregarding any advice that would have helped him out.
However, one thing he could be forgiven for, is his failed notion that fair trials do not exist in America. His comrades in Guantanamo have seen very little of famous and admirable American justice system. |

Nor should they, since they were taken on foreign fields for opposing military forces of the United States.
Since when do prisoners of war, especially ones who do not qualify as lawful combatants, have trials in courts with no jurisdiction?

I think the truth is this low born pile of camel dung wanted to be a martyr. Now that is not an option and he if facing the rest of his natural life (no martyrdom there)locked up with a bunch of p*ssed off American convicts who will love to introduce him to the joys of forcable sodomy day after day after day......well you get the point. Reality sucks. No wonder he wants "overs". |
