No Death for Moussaoui, Just for Us.
What, exactly does it take to draw a death penalty these days?
Apparently, you can plan the deaths of a couple hundred thousand Americans and get life without parole.
So, thanks to this jury, you and I will be paying to house, feed, and care for a man who will live his entire life working as best he can to kill us. I’d be willing to bet that in very short order, Moussaoui will be in contact with the terrorist network that exists in our prison system and there is a very real chance that he will be involved in more murders.
Folks, I don’t know that we’re really fighting a war anymore. It’s hard to tell that we fully woke up from our easy slumber on that day. Every day that passes shows me that 9/11 was just an interruption in our nap, that left us bleary-eyed but still drowsy and all to willing to get back to our nap.
And now a jury near our nation’s capital has spoken. Everyone roll over and shut those eyes. Nighty night.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over Moussaoui. He won't have any contact with the outside world unless Bush wants him to. The federal prison system has a clever mechanism to deal with these kind of threats. It's called "ConAir." Prisononers are not allowed any outside contact for the first 30 days they have been in a particular prison. When the feds want to prevent outside contact, they fly (thus the ConAir name) a covict to a new prison every 28 days. Because they never spend 30 days in any prison, they can never contact anyone. With this trick, they can keep a convict completely isolated indefinately. This will happen with Moussaoui unless it is determined that they need him to be in contact with other terrorists to help out with an investigation.
According to a recent commenter on a left wing blog, there are three things worthy of the death penalty. Check out my blog to see what they are!
