why in the hell is this fuck allowed to continue breathing? If this is really how pussified Americans have become then we deserve all the terrorist attacks they can throw at us. He should be beheaded and dismembered.

No, you idiot. This guy wants to die. He wants to be a martyr. Surely it's more of a punishment to deny him his martyrdom and make him live?

The guy is mentally ill anyway.

we just need to find a way to kill him so that he doesnt get his seven virgins...... besides, terrorists dont need a martyr theyre going to do what they do regardless

We did find a way you dope. Not executing him and keeping him a live in solitary confinement keeps him out of heaven and since he didn't kill anyone in the name of Allah, he'll be denied his virgins.

The guy was crazy. Even his fellow terrorists thought he was a loon.

Exactly.

A quote from a true muslim after being questioned about the virgins waiting in heaven and paradise...
"The vigins thing is a myth. To live Islam is what gets you into heaven, not by killing yourself. If that was what it was all about, than why am I still here...."

He doesn't deserve to die.......

Jury, innit. Apparently at least 3 of them thought him not actually being directly involved meant it would be kinda gay to execute him. I'm more for sending him to Guantanamo or Abu Greyhb [sp?] myself.

Dying would be the easy way out. Dying on death row is a swifter punishment than languishing for the rest of his life in a maximum security prison! It might be 60 years before that guy dies of a natural death. Slowly rotting alone in prison is MUCH worse than a swift exit that death by lethal injection or electric chair would bring. An Al Qaida wannabe, who could NEVER have masterminded 911, is exactly what he is.

why? because that's what his twisted mind want us to do - execute him and subsequently turn him into a martyr. i say, he's too retarted to be martyr, let him rot in jail.

this is precisely it. common sense at last

plus they guy will just blame international jewry for an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth, or something like that

I couldn't agree more. Also in this case I can't help but feeling this guy was made as a scapegoat and the trial is for PR so the government could be seen to have done something constructive after Sept 11th, I know he admitted it, but question is has he had any of the tests to see if he is of sound mind to stand trial?
USA have even had amnesty international on their case about the trialling and execution of people believed to be unfit to take the stand, whom were never screened to see whether they understood what the crime they were accused of properly.
Even if he is guilty I wouldn’t want to see him hit with the death sentence, many can say they don’t want their tax dollars to pay for his prison term and I can sort of understand that, but you can not pick and choose where your taxes go. And surly wouldn’t killing him in a barbaric way make the government as guilty of murder as they believe he is?

I've never gotten the idea of death as a punishment. Maybe it's because I don't believe in God or afterlife, so death is just like turning a person off to me. Life in prison, now that's a punishment.

the judge quoted TS Elliot, "not with a bang but a whimper"

Along these lines the State really helped McVeigh (OK City Bombing) by executing him. He died believing his act would be the biggest terrorist act in American history, and one day the whole world would see his justifications for the OKC Bombing, and turn him into a hero.

Regardless of all the real factors McVeigh, would be absolutely devastated his grand act is now a foot note, and Bin Laden has stolen his terrorist crown.

i think we wanted to die, to be EXECUTED for his "good cause", as a martyr.
he was mentally ill, he has been a good student, and a real friend for many people, including some jews. he wasn't a terrorit, he wasn't an extremist.
some people simply WASH his brain.he became another one, even his mother tells it.
letting him for the rest of his whole life in a cell is the worst for him.that's the worst for terrorists all over the world.

I want to go to Guantanomo. It's sounds like the hottest vacation spot on the ~block~

Mussaoui was condemned not because of what he did but just because of what he said this just shows how fucking rotten and undemocratic is your country.

What does being "democratic" have to do with the justice system? Democracy is majority rule. The justice system is based on unanimous rule. You can only get a conviction or the death penalty if everyone agrees.

I have to agree he was convicted on what he said, he kept confessing all through the trail.

So in your part of the world even if one person disagrees in your whole country you don't do it, and even if someone repeatedly confesses he will not be convicted. Interesting.

All things considered, I think it's the fairest verdict possible.

Agreed!
