Unless he committed a capital crime under common definition, as
reprehensible as the ******* is we should not put him to death. The
prosecution seems to be making a case that
"failure to act" to prevent 9-11 is a capital offense. (If some far out
wack job conspiracy theorists were ever proven correct, that legal
precedent could have some dire and unexpected consequences).


Would we be better off to stick him in a typical state prison, and make sure
every other prisoner knows exactly who he is?



Exactly who is he?

He'd be better off in the mental health system.


As long as he's isolated. They can put his box anywhere. Would you have put
the other 19 in 'the mental health system'?

If politics weren't involved, common sense would take over.

You are right, though. I was trying to make the point that the energy
seems to be moving away from what we were all sold in the last 5 years.

I know that political views, like religious, is based on long held
beliefs, reality takes a back seat sometimes. While this has no point
in a boating group, this thread is hopelessly mired in belief instead of
logic.

I could not read all the mis-placed anger with out trying to see if
everyone really thought that way.

Unless he committed a capital crime under common definition, as

"failure to act" to prevent 9-11 is a capital offense. (If some far out
wack job conspiracy theorists were ever proven correct, that legal
precedent could have some dire and unexpected consequences).

Sometimes I think too far outside the box. My fear with this case is
that we will wind up killing a man not for a crime that he committed,
but for a crime that he would have committed if he were not arrested
first. Does this open the door for executing anybody
planning a murder? If the police just happen to catch the would be
murderer before he or she can carry out the plan- should they be put to
death anyway? Setting off on a course where we kill people not for what
they did but for what they *thought* about doing is just a baby step
short of simply killing people for harboring certain "politically
incorrect" thoughts or opinions. We can't go there and still be the
USA.

As far as I know, conspiracy to commit murder is not a capital crime.
Give this ******* the maximum allowable term for each of the 3,0000
victimes on 9-11 with no possibiilty of parole. Should be abut 30,000
years. That's justice. I think the Constitution has to be observed and
defended, even when it stands in the way of exacting revenge for one of
the most tragic incidents in American history.

Will now surrender the soap box........


This guy is of the same breed that beheads innocent civilians and sends the
video to be broadcast world-wide. He's of the same breed that drags
(hopefully) dead foreigners through the streets of his hometown to make some
kind of public statement. He's a sworn enemy and has made a sacred vow to
kill as many of us as he can.

Castrate the sucker so he can't enjoy his 72 virgins, then fry his ass.

RCE

I'll try this again:

Mossaoui was tossed out of the group. His actions were ZERO, aside from
some unsuccessful flight training. I doubt that he really knew much
about the actual attack.

He said he did, but, AFTER the attack took place. He isn't a terrorist,
he's a wanna be terrorist.

What frustrates me, is that you misunderstand that we were not
"discussing possible punishment for a terrorist", but trying to out do
each other on inhuman treatment of a guy that's mentally ill.

Our society is not headed in a direction that makes us better than they are.


He's a nutcase, but only a pretend terrorist. That's quite different.

Mossaoui sucks!! America please listen.

Your opinion seems to differ from that of Moussaoui and his jury.

No. *We* were discussing punishment for a terrorist. *You* tried to turn
the discussion into a political argument.

As I said earlier, you obviously know more about Moussaoui's involvement
than either Moussaoui or his jury.

Would the other 19 be 'mentally ill' and deserving of placement in 'the
mental health system' by your definitions?
