I saw this today and I feel the need to add my $.02: Zacarias Moussaoui, the only man brought to trial in the US for the 9/11 hijackings, was sentenced to life in prison today. He will be spending the rest of his life, with no possiblity of parole, in the Adminstrative Maximum (ADMAX or Supermax) part of the US Prisons Complex in Florence, Colorado. Now, I know many people out there are angry that Moussaoui isn't getting the death sentence; that the American taxpayer will be supporting him the rest of his life; that the punishment should fit the crime. What I say to them is: we took away from him the most important thing in his life. Not only will he be in a cell 23 hours a day for the rest of his life, but he will never, NEVER get to martyr himself for his "cause." His "glorious" fiery death that would have killed hundreds or thousands of Americans will never happen; he will rot on a concrete slab for the rest of his days and die as nothing more than a footnote to the turning point of the early 21st century. This, combined with the fact that Americans have shown that we're not out for blood but for justice, will serve as proof that we can take the moral high ground if we choose to. We can do the right thing when we need to. I only hope the future sees more of this kind of thing.
