Moussaoui to Rot in Jail

Terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. While I am a strong supporter of capital punishment, I am not disappointed by this verdict. Moussaoui has repeatedly expressed his desire to be executed, most likely to become a martyr for his perverse cause. Therefore, it is appropriate that he is denied this opportunity and, instead of dying relatively young (likely sometime in his 40s), he will wither away in a 2.1 m x 3.7 m prison cell. By the 2040s or 2050s, his shriveled countenance will still serve as a reminder that a life of terrorism does not always end in a barbaric moment of "glory." Luckily for him, he still has several decades to repent, as the Allah (the Arabic name of the God which Christians, Jews and Muslims share) I believe in does not condone the actions this terrorist was participating or planning to participate in.

As for you bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, your respective needles are waiting!
