Oh My II
They didn't give him the green needle:
A good day for justice.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A federal jury rejected the death penalty for al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui on Wednesday and decided he must spend life in prison for his role in the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history.I'm shocked. I figured the revenge factor, alone, would send him to the death house. Apparently the jury saw through the government's feeble legal strategy to hook him into the 911 plot.
After seven days of deliberation, the nine men and three women rebuffed the government's appeal for death for the only person charged in this country in the four suicide jetliner hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
Three jurors decided Moussaoui had only limited knowledge of the Sept. 11 plot and three described his role in the attacks as minor, if he had any role at all.
A good day for justice.

Were they to execute him, he'd die with "Allah Akbar" on his lips. Now he has to suffer.
I don't know one person who would give him the satisfaction of allowing him to be glorified in his faith by killing him.
No, death was too kind for him. A lifetime in Federal "DPITA" prison is fine for him...and ask Lynne what DPITA means, she can email me and I'll tell her :)
