What kind of message are we sending to other terrorists by only giving a life sentence to Moussaoui?
612546
The message is we would rather let the other inmates rip his arm off then beat him to death with his own arm-stump, than pay for the chemicals to lethally inject him.

Yes.  Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person officially charged for crimes relating to 9/11, pleaded guilty after months of maintaining his innocence.\n\nHe has not been sentenced yet, but he faces the Death Penalty.  He maintains he didn't know they were going to use the planes to crash into buildings and thought they were going to hijack them and use the hostages to exchange for political prisoners.

I'm sorry, but the only way I know to defeat terrorism is by killing them. They are already killing themselves, so it doesn't seem to be a problem killing them off before they kill themselves and us both. You don't offer any other suggestions, so you must not have an answer.

Too many innocent people would be killed, and most of us (though NOT the eminent-domain-using New York Times!) still care about human life.  No, they should be prosecuted as traitors and made to serve their debt to society--in prison.  Perhaps Gitmo.  And I have no problem if Momo Dowd has to wear underwear on her head, lol...

osama@jerk.com\n\nI hope he uses his connections with the CIA to communicate so we can nab more than one rat in a hole if caught.\n\nAmericans hold some of the blame for his existance. We did train him after all.

when you say death penalty, i believe its hanging?\nI wonder how this one time leader would feel, if his head was severed in a market place, with crounds of jeering people, as i believe is the traditional arab way?\nWell, if its good enogh for princess's ?\n\nBut then.....didnt the us instigate all this, because he was a Barbarian, not to be trusted with long range chemical weaponry?.....but then theyve side stepped having to jail him for life themselves.....(even they wouldnt hang him, with the worlds media)...so they let someone else do it.

None. It’s not his decision or his right, or that on anyone else's with a God complex.  He's a wealthy Saudi man who didn't fit in.  No one appointed him the representative of anyone.  The only way I could see him able to avenge anyone is the people who chose to follow him.  Most of these people I consider zealots and bigots who should be stopped (sort of like the Klu Klux Klan or the Spanish Inquisition), so I don’t see avenging their captures or deaths as a legitimate act.  I do see that some Arabs and Muslims have real reasons to be upset, but I don’t see how Bin Laden is their “avenger.”  I think that people who don't directly target civilians or support regimes like the Taliban who so grievously harm their civilians would be the best people to represent those civilians.  I also think it should be people from that group: rich Saudi men with tremendous advantages who still couldn't make a positive difference on his co-citizens' lives in his own country need not apply.

Life in solitary confinement will be far more painful, especially for someone who anticipated his heavenly rewards.\n\nRudy Giuliani, a former prosecutor, said it was solitary or being in the hands of "red blooded American criminals."\n\nHe's expected to go to prison with Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, where solitary IS solitary.  Food will be placed in a room that Moussaoui will only enter when no one is there - no human contact\n\nThe jury has spoken, they deliberated for an extraordinarily long time, and they heard ALL the facts presented.  Most of the families seem accepting; not all are completely satisfied.  Also, there can be no appeal, which will save them much grief. \n\nI think this was a good verdict.

Separate Peoples of Faith (any faith -- whether Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian, whatever) from TERRORISTS.\n\nTerrorists see Kindness and the protection of the young, their mothers, religious and historically significant sites, and ceremonial places (including cemeteries) as signs of WEAKNESS -- and that is what they want to EXPLOIT -- they target Indiscriminately, there is NO FAITH in their targeting of individuals for their actions of hate, and there is certainly NO concern about what pain and suffering they cause -- all for what?\n\nNo morals, no values, no ties to this life -- only the drugs in their system that kills the ability to think and care and have concern and respect FAITH.

WE are a signatory nation in the Geneva Conventions, and reading them, they apply not just to us, but anybody we fight against...pretty much so long as they openly carry a weapon and shoot at us.  Rounding up the local apple salesman of some Afghan village because the local peach salesman took $20 to tip off the local police does NOT make him a terrorist.  It makes us look very stupid for holding him for 4 years.\n\nThough I'm sure there's 3 or 4 really dangerous guys in Gitmo...TRIAL THEM and LOCK THEM UP FOR REAL.  That's how we work, that's how we've always work.  That's what the Bill of Rights says...those first 10 are INALIENABLE RIGHTS.  Rights we can't take away or grant because they inherently exist for ALL HUMAN BEINGS.\n\nTorturing ANYONE and holding ANYONE without trial is a massive violation to our Constitution.  Bush WILL be in handcuffs for this sooner or later.

It looks like terrorism to me the thing i can`t understand is why is it terrorism if you strap a bomb to your self and kill innocent people but if you drop a bomb from a plane and kill even more innocent people then its not. Surely no killing of innocent people can be justified and in my opinion any one who kills another person be that person Innocent or not is a murderer and the ones who order the killing of thousands are monsters and no better than Hitler

Kill him\n\n1. It will show terrorists that we and Iraq are serious about what we are doing. \n\n2. He is a killer.\n\n3. He must never walk the Earth again.\n\n4. You point about martyrdom is false.  You are showing that pacificism does not work.  We must deal with killers with violence.  When you have a bully, beat the jeepers out of him and he will go away.  \n\nTHE MAIN REASON WHY WE HAVE SO MUCH TERRORISM PROBLEMS IS WE DO NOT RESORT TO VIOLENCE.  WE ARE TOO SOFT ON PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL US.  WE DID NOT LEARN THE LESSONS FROM WW2: IGNORING EVIL ONLY MAKES IT HARDER TO GET RID OF LATER.

You cannot take dead men to trial. Plenty of others have been tried and taken in for other terrorist threats, but their was no conclusive evidence that linked them to  911. The rest of the men that we know for sure were involved, are dead.

Because to do that would be a violation of the United Nations charter.  Also if you just go around killing the innocent with the guilty, you are no better then the terrorist who bombs.

I've tried reporting the pedophiles and terrorists and "yay two points" answers but the staff are asleep at the wheel! I've particularly reported a man who calls for death to america and tries to incite all Muslims to kill all Americans and Infidels, He also claims Allah has told him to marry a six year old. \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApMrrPNQv3hvRZSozAqoaHfsy6IX?qid=1006051101662 \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjkD9FEpETbUfLFQ_kMiF7jsy6IX?qid=1006051006968 \n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjkkOKExdcIa6iednbsNR_7sy6IX?qid=1006051005464

We are a group of ex-Muslims who have seen the face of the evil and have risen to warn the world. No matter how painful the truth may be, only truth can set us free. Why this much denial? Why so much obstinacy? How many more innocent lives should be lost before YOU open your eyes? A nuclear disaster is upon us. This will happen. It is not a question of "if" but "when". Oblivious of that, the world is digging its head deeper in the sand.\n\nWe urge the Muslims to leave Islam. Stop with excuses, justifications and rationalizations. Stop dividing mankind into "us" vs. "them" and Muslims vs. Kafirs. We are One people, One mankind! Muhammad was not a messenger of God. It is time that we end this insanity and face the truth. The terrorists take their moral support and the validation for their actions from you. Your very adherence to their cult of death is a nod of approval for their crimes against humanity.\n\nWe also urge the non-Muslims to stop being politically correct lest they hurt the sensitivities of the Muslims. To Hell with their sensitivities! Let us save their lives, and the lives of millions of innocent people.\n\nMillions, if not billions of lives will be lost if we do nothing. Time is running out! "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." Do something! Send this message to everyone in your address book and ask them to do the same. Defeat Islam and stop terrorism. This is your world, save it.

His reign of terror is finally over, but at least he has been put to death, which is almost too good for him, his victims were tortured first usually, then death if they were lucky. Its' his countries way of dealing with people like him, so hang he must. I say one less madman in the world.Just my humble opinion.
