what do you think about then verdict of moussai's trial?

much as I'd like to see him fry, that would give him what he wanted--martyrdom. That is why he was such a pr*ck thru the whole trial, trying to goad the jury to do just that. Now he won't get to have his 72 virgins like the other guys.

I for one gave a loud cheer when I heard Al-Zarqari was dead. His death can only be a good thing. \nNow the Iraqi government might get a chance to control the country.\n\np.s. I saw the video of the bombing on the BBC well done yanks a good piece of precision bombing!

Agree 100% \n\nSome of you do not realize that these radical Muslims have a different aspect on life and death. THEY WANT TO DIE!! They die they win. Despite what Moussaoui said in court today. These people hope to be killed killing us.

No, he was found innocent by a jury of his peers and I don't know why the people sitting here at their keyboards think they have a better handle on the truth than the jury.

The appeals process is quite limited in Iraq and will be gone through rather quickly.  Then the verdict and sentence must be approved by the Iraqi president (and two others, I think).  The approval probably will not take long either.  While there is another Saddam trial going on, he could be executed before its completion.  My feeling is that all trials on all charges should be completed before he is executed so that there will be documentation of all his acts before he dies.

Well unless they could subject him to mobs of people and the families of those he has tortured and killed, it is the best punishment in a civilized world.  It's shows more mercy than a merciless, tyranical dictator deserves.\n\nBy the same token all trials benefit the criminal more than the victim.  That is a civilized society and I guess when it came right down to it I wouldn't want it to change.

I think it's because Saddam's trial would have looked better if he was tried by Iraqis (poetic justice, if you will).  The whole trial was basically a PR spin job (why do you think it was the Sunday before elections?)  Plus, they knew they'd get a straight conviction in an democratic Iraqi court (Read: Iraqis hand-picked by the US government with an already pre-disposed hatred of Saddam), while there could have been complications (hung juries, mistrials) in say, a UN court or whatever.

This blog says- In Iran an 18-year-old named Nazanin is sentenced to be put to death by hanging. Her crime? Defending herself and her 16-year-old niece from being raped by three men. During the attack she drew a knife and stabbed one of the attackers. In doing so she succeeded in driving the attackers off and saved the two of them from whatever fate awaited them at the hands of the three men.\n\nShe was subsequently arrested, tried and found guilty of a crime. At her trial she said in her defense; "I wanted to defend myself and my niece. I did not want to kill that boy. At the heat of the moment I did not know what to do because no one came to our help." Her appeals have failed and without severe pressure from outside sources she will die for this "crime". \n\nThis is shocking ! I hope the Muslim community wakes up... This could happen to your daughter...  don't you care?

I think OJ Simpson got away with murder.  He did it or had someone else do it for him.

A not guilty verdict is not a proclamation of innocence.  A civil court did not find him guilty but they did find him liable.  At this point does it really matter?  This verdict forced the majority of Americans to admit something that minorities have been saying for decades, that the justice system is deeply flawed on both a racial bias and a class bias.  Pundits were saying there was no way cops would plant evidence but cops have historically committed atrocious acts (e.g. Amadou Diallo, Abner Louima, Rampart, Mississippi Burning 1964).  Is he innocent?  Only he knows now.

Yes.  The verdict is just; the consequences of the verdict, however, may prove to be very unpleasant indeed.  More fuel for the Jihad.

I seriously doubt these guys did any intentional harm. It makes no sense, they have zero motivation. One of the accused is a Palistinian Doctor. Why would he seek to kill fellow Arabs? \n\nThe Bulgarian nurses, again what motivation would they have? Bulgaria really does not care about the Middle East. \n\nThat torture and rape happened is very believeable. So the confessions are useless. What is believable is that libya is using the situation to blackmail money and other considerations out of Europe. A very typical game Ghadifi is well known for. The nurses and Doc on the other hand have already paid heavily for apparently volenteering to work in such a hell hole in the first place. \n\nLast we are talking about some unsanitary conditions. No screening of blood products, no needle sanitation. It's a wonder there isn't a huge empidemic going on there.

Muhammad found guilty in second sniper trial\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13049413/\n\nNot a huge shock- the jury only deliberated for 4 hours.  But I lived through this nightmare and people were shot in my town- one about a mile away from my home.  So, this is great news.\n\nAs far as "feel good" news, I have to say this:\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13043875/

I don't agree with the verdict although I haven't followed it closly, I feel that one of the 3 did or know who did and feel that there is definaty some kind of internation corruption and code protecting the police officers. \n\nDefinatly has me worried about my own safety right now living in Milwaukee..

Let's wait to see if anyone's convicted before we start judging.  From what we have heard in the news media there are too many holes that need filled in.  \n\nIf someone is convicted hang 'em but let us extend the same courtesy that we would like to have if we were accused of a crime
572159
No.  We need someone to be the scapegoat. \n\nHowever, from Moussaoui's behavior in court, I think he should be jailed, whether he was to play a part in 9/11 or not.

i agree with eye for an eye, the only downside is if they are innocent then they are being punished for no reason, then again innocent people get executed even in our society... some people have been executed only to find out later that they truly were innocent... if the crime was prooven then yes I think thats what should be done!
