Just Say No, Please

Speaking of evil nonsense, what about the Moussaoui trial in VA? Will someone please explain to me why people are trying so hard to accommodate this man? We've listened to a week's worth of wrenching testimony from the World Trade Center, Flight 93 and the Pentagon, all intended to induce such outrage and hatred among the jurors that they will all vote to fry Mr. M., even though there's not a shred of evidence that he had a part in the 9/11 attacks. He has done his best to implicate himself in the plot, even though his fellow plotters appeared to want to keep him far away from the action, and has repeatedly proclaimed his contempt for all of us "infidels" here in America. He's clearly aiming for martyrdom, to become a sacrifice on the altar of anti-Muslim prejudice here in the US. Nothing could please him more than a date with the executioner. So WHY do people want to give him, and all the millions of sympathetic onlookers worldwide, this gift? Why not sentence him to life without parole and sit his jumpsuit-clad butt down in a jail cell, without a podium, without an audience, but with plenty of time on his hands to become a little, creaky, old terrorist? I think there's a statute of limitations on martyrdom, isn't there? Maybe ten years from the date of the alleged attack on the infidels? Mr. M. would go away for a lot longer than that. So let's not FRY, let's TRY--his patience. Severely.
