Wow... Just... Wow.

Moussaoui gets life in prison.

I'm shocked, frankly. Given that he's the only person likely to be tried for 9/11, and how long the jury deliberated, I was sure they were going to sentence him to death.

I think it's better this way. Even though he's one of two people left (Scott Peterson) whom I think actually deserves the death penalty (even though I don't believe in it anymore). There's the small worry that now he can be used as a bargaining chip in a terrorist crisis, but I think someone will pull a Dahmer on him in prison (am I a bad person for considering starting a pool?).

That might be tough - my understanding is that he's to be in solitary 23 hours a day and he'll have the option of an hour in the yard, by himself.
