ZACHARIAS MOUSSAOUI WILL BURN!!!!!

[krumanadi]

He probably tastes 'moontaz'...LET ME EAT HIM!!!

This made me laugh.

[krumanadi]

3000 american families care...

and his atria and ventricles are gonna burn!

retribution for the people who were vaporized into thin air and became "ash' and the ones who became "pink mist".

moussaoui gonna be allah's footstool.

I think revenge is a pretty poor reason. The guy's been captured, he's no longer a threat to anyone, what's the point of killing him?

Deterance.  If he dies, people who don't want to die won't do what he did.

Right, deterance. We're talking about the people who strap bombs to themselves and crash planes into buildings. IMO life in prison would be far more likely to deter these people than death. Also, we don't have to lower ourselves.

I dont see it as lowering ourselves.  We already execute people for much lesser crimes than this.  If you're against the death penalty totally then I see that argument, but I think if anyone deserves to be executed it's Moussaoui and his ilk.

[ADM]

I'm against the death penalty totally. Also, if you guys want to punish him, death doesn't seem like a good way. People like him think of themselves as martyrs.

[verbal213]

Fair enough.  But if one is for the death penalty, it doesn't really matter what he wants, because it's about justice and retribution for the victims, not what will be worst for Moussaoui.

I think that the "eye for an eye" sentencing is a false brand of justice. We're reprimanding him for killing helpless people, and then strapping him down and killing him. IMO that's hypocrisy, not justice.

[verbal213]

I don't really see it as an eye for an eye.  I certainly don't think the death penalty is appropriate for all cases of murder, and that's what you're presenting as my position.

[ADM]

Then what does the death penalty accomplish? Definitely not a deterance in this type of trial.
