The Circus Of Moussaoui Leaves Bad Taste

On Friday May 5th Judge Leonie Brinkema handed down the sentence that confessed terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui would spend the rest of his life in prison. He showed no pity and no grief for his actions or the actions of the 9/11 bombers, so it confuses me greatly why they decided that we need to let this scum live.
"Mr Moussaoui, you came here to be a martyr and die in a big bang of glory; but to paraphrase the poet T.S. Eliot, instead, you will die with a whimper," said Judge Leonie Brinkema. While I agree in theory, the fact that letting him live in a cell for the rest of his life would be taking away what we wants most, but this should not have been about that. It should have been about handing down justice to this confessed terrorist. We should act as we want, not just act to deny this coward his martyrdom or his 72 virgins.
"You have branded me as a terrorist or a criminal ... You should look at yourselves first ... I am a mujahid and you think you own the world, and you must admit you are wrong." Said Moussaoui. "God curse America, God save Osama bin Laden. You'll never get him," he went on to say. He is clearly our enemy, he clearly deserves to die, he would have no problem killing everyone of those jurists if he had the ability to do so.
On Monday Moussaoui tried to withdrawal his guilty plea and that he lied when he testified that he was meant to be part of the hijacking plot. "Because I now see that it is possible that I can receive a fair trial, even with Americans as jurors, and that I can have the opportunity to prove that I did not have any knowledge of and was not a member of the plot to hijack planes and crash them into buildings on September 11, 2001, I wish to withdraw my guilty plea and ask the court for a new trial to prove my innocence of the September 11 plot," he said in the affidavit.
Moussaoui now will be sent At Supermax, the so-called Alcatraz of the Rockies, he would spend 23 hours a day in his cell and have little to no contact with other notorious criminals, including Ramzi Yousef, Eric Rudolph, Ted Kaczynski and Terry Nicholson "bombers row".
The $60 million Supermax, formally called Administrative Maximum, was built in 1995 in Florence, a town of 3,600 people the police chief calls a "quiet, little retirement community." The triangular, two-story prison was designed for inmates once held at the U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Ill., which had replaced Alcatraz when it closed in 1963.
If all things were fair he would be sent into general population in a New York prison and things would take care of themselves, well any prison for that matter. I see no reason to let him live, he wants to die, he should help.
