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.

Life in prison

[sprirtwolf.livejournal.com]

Politically, I think it was the right move... that way he's not a martyr for any cause.

Realistically, I thought that whether or not he had anything to do with 9/11, he is a crazy f*ck and it’s not good to have insane people willing to die wandering around, whether or not they actually do anything… it’s a liability. If drug dealers can still deal drugs from prison, then terrorists can also terrorize from prison.

Plus my tax dollars will not be paying for his prison sentence and the rest of his life. I’d rather buy ice cream. My world view is so simplistic sometimes.... but really, I'm glad it's over... whatever the outcome.
