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.

Obviously there were... I just wasn't convinced that they were going to be the ones to prevail. There's too much emotion bound up in it.

And as for the nutbag element - well, yes. I've never been entirely convinced by his guilty plea - I think he *wants* to have been the 20th hijacker. His claim to have been tasked to fly a fifth plane only served to convince me further that he's like the pathetic geek girl in junior high who gets the quarterback to sign her yearbook and takes it as a sign that he's really secretly in love with her and they're destined to live happily ever after and make lots of beautiful babies.
