Bull****. NH and VT make good maple syrup.I'd say the US is a failure for not making good maple syrup before I'd be too fussed over them not being able to find one man who isn't in the US.

I dont know how this jury could not have found aggravating circunstances that warranted death. From what I've found so far they seem to have decided that his bad childhood was a mitigating factor that warranted life imprisonment rather than death.
If that's the case, they were bleeding-heart idiots.

He's a nutbag who didn't actually kill anyone, so far as I can tell. He's an enemy. Locking him away in solitary for the rest of his life is an appropriate response.

The guy will live in solitary confinment without parole. The only people he's going to meet for the rest of his life are his wardens. Considering he's 37, he's due for some very, very long years.
The punishment is way harsher than death and he doesn't get to be a martyr. I could see that his supporters would have liked death penalty. I can see that his loved ones and human rights activists would have supported a more lenient punishment.

The jury did right. From all accounts he was a bumbling idiot. It would make no sense to afford him martyr status.Originally posted by Spiffor

I'm all for brainwashing him. If he can be brainwashed into hating America and wanting to kill his own defense lawyers and such, he can be brainwashed out of it. I think mind control would really solve most problems.Originally posted by Spiffor

Conspiracy to commit a crime carries the same penalty as the crime itself. That he was too gutless of incompetent to actually take part in 9/11 in no way reduces his complicity. He was found guilty. From there its a matter of the jury considering the aggravating and mitigating circumstances. After looking at the "death verdict form" http://www.courttv.com/trials/moussa...erdictform.pdf I dont see how anyone could not vote for death.Originally posted by Arrian

Section III, mitigating factors:
A. That if he is not sentenced to death, ZM will be incarcerated in prison for the rest of his life w/o the possibility of release.
Seems like an out clause to me.

I'm quite happy he isn't sentenced to death (or more precisely: to be executed). The islamists just wait for one of theirs to be executed because it strenghtens their position. People who kill themselves are not really good as martyrs.
From the completely irrational game ZM played I think he wanted to be executed or to be free. Life sentence is the least he wanted, and so the best punishment.Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment

23 hours in a day in solitary.1 hour a day in exercise, by himself.
Table, chair and bed made of concrete, with a thin mattress on the bed.
BUT, 13" television.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
