sometimes it's ok to kill people

Look at this, people of America. This is an exceprt from the mother of Zaccharias Moussaoui in regards to how she feels her son is being treated:

Aicha El Wafi, who returned to France earlier this week, said the trial was a masquerade that did not prove her son's guilt, and she accused the French government of not fighting hard enough for him, saying it did not want to oppose the United States.

El Wafi, dressed in black, was emotional and nervous as she spoke with reporters a day after the jury in Alexandria, Va., decided to send him to prison for life without a chance of parole, and she repeated over and over, "This is terrible."

"I share the suffering and the pain of the parents of the victims. I'm with them," she said.

"I feel like a part of myself is dead, buried with my son, who is going to be buried all of his life at 37 years old for things that he didn't do. Because he spoke too much," El Wafi said.

She called her son a scapegoat, adding that the life sentence imposed for his role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was worse than the death penalty.

"Now he is going to die in little doses," she said. "He is going to live like a rat in a hole. What for? They are so cruel, they were wrong to want his head. They should have gone all the way to the end if they were capable"


You know what Aicha? I completely agree with you. A jury found Zaccharias Moussaoui guilty on accounts of conspiring to injure/kill Americans, found that he was involved in the terrorist plot of September 11, 2001, that he sought entrance into this nation in order to gain knowledge to kill citizens of this nation, and that he has never showed an ounce or remorse for his particiaption in said plot's success. For involvement in arguably the most heinous crime committed against America during peace time, this man will get to live out the rest of his life...just like you and me. In fact, we're going to pay an estimated $100,000 a year to keep him well fed, well read, well exercised, and well protected from prisoners that might (for some odd reason) want to harm him.

And now his mother is going to complain about his sentence? His mother is going to go to bat for him despite that he himself acknowledges his involvement in 9-11, and despite the fact that a grand jury found him guilty of such crimes? She's going to cry that he's going to be treated like a rat? She's going to go so far as to say that she "is with" the families of those whose deaths her son relishes...that he grief is comparable? I vomit on this woman and I vomit on Zaccharias Moussaoui.

For my tax dollar's worth, I'd kick in a couple of bucks to fund the expediture on ammo that a firing squad may need to do its work.
