No death penalty?
Still think the death penalty never applies?
Moussaoui called an Army officer who crawled on his belly to safety beneath searing smoke “pathetic” and ridiculed a Navy officer who wept as she described the loss of two colleagues.”I think it was disgusting for a military person” to cry, Moussaoui said of the testimony of Navy Lt. Nancy McKeown. “She is military, she should expect people at war with her to want to kill her.”
Asked if he was happy to hear her sobbing, he said, “Make my day.”
Prosecutor Rob Spencer asked Moussaoui: “So you would be happy to see 9/11 again?”
“Every day until we get you,” the 37-year-old Frenchman responded with enthusiasm.
Would anybody still like to argue for a ban on the death penalty when you have people like Moussaoui running around? The death penalty may offend liberal sensibilities, but in this case it so clearly applies.
Argue that it should be used more sparingly, but an outright ban is irresponsible. A lifetime in prison seems very inappropriate in this case.

I only pause because the guy wants to die. I’d think it more just if he was put in prison along with some of our more patriotic muslim lifers who would be eager to educate him on our ways.
I’d like to keep him alive just so he can be around to see his cause utterly destroyed.
If we’re going to be attacked in revenge, I want it to be for killing this slime, not for giving him free room and board in prison.
He’ll have plenty of time in prison either way, but we need to steel ourselves for the fight ahead. The terror has only started.
No retreat. No surrender.
Kill him, turn him in to a Martyr and hero and give others a reason to follow. I really don’t get it, traditionally conservatives are very Christian people, yet, somewhere along the line forgot about “thou shall not kill”. Seems quite hypocritical to me….
A common leftist stooge aphorism is “Christians forget about thou shalt not kill”
Well a bigger tenet of Christianity is not standing by and allowing harm to come to a fellow human being by a more savage, violent or barbaric human being. We could not, as Christians, stand by and allow Hitler to butcher millions because we must adhere to “pacifism”. Pacifism in the face of barbarity and allowing the killing and injury to go on is a form of cowardice.
Killing a killer so that he cannot kill again is a form of protecting our fellow man. This slimebag would certainly kill if he got a chance, as he has admitted himself. This guy fears nothing and only lives to hurt Americans. Why wouldn’t he stab a guard or another inmate if he could? And why wouldn’t he use all his wiles to try to either: feign rehabilitation to gain release so he could kill again, or conversely plot to escape, and even in failing kill as many innocents as he can?
Its our RESPONSIBILITY as Christians to go to war to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to stop those who would do violence against innocents, even at the cost of killing those evil-doers.
See again you’re a moron, this man has been stopped, making comparisons to Hitler is absurd, Hitler was never in our custody or courts, and this man has been stopped. You justified killing another person in order to stop the future killing of others. I agree with you under those terms, but in this instance, killing this man will only increase the amounts of American and Iraqi lives lost. Facts are facts my friend, everyday we are in Iraq and killing these S.O.B.’s, their families and friends then follow in their footsteps for the same cause. This is not killing a man because we need to stop him; it is killing a man as revenge. Think logically, this man believes when he dies at the hands of an American or killing an American, that he will be blessed with virgins and riches, why give him that mental satisfaction? Even if he’s wrong.
oh and if he is a danger to other prison-mates, they can contain him, it’s called “isolation”, they do it to all the time to all sorts of criminals like Manson for instance.
