Moussaoui Gets Life

[Alex]

Even if he did exactly what he was accused of I don't agree with the theory that makes it eligible for the death penalty. I can't align the idea that inaction would ever be grounds for execution. And as you may remember, I've not a problem with capital punishment in theory.

Since I doubt he was involved to the extend he and the government claim I really don't think death would have been appropriate but would have met the twin needs of Mousaoui to feel important in ways he wasn't and the government to punish somebody for 9/11.

It's tough for me to have a feel for how deeply he was involved. Doubting it is reasonable, but when both he and the government are saying basically the same things...

However, I can certainly agree that this is largely about wanting to feel as if some form of justice....perhaps retribution is a better word here....is coming about to someone (anyone) for 9/11.

Once in prison, Moussaoui will be in lockdown for 23 hours of every day, with one hour of recreation daily. He'll spend that one hour alone, also.
