We wasted millions on this stupidity. Richard Reid was stopped in the middle of actually attempting to blow up an airplane and he is already sitting in SuperMax.

The judge deserves a medal for putting up with this charade.

I think the guy received a lot more credit for being a “terrorist threat” than actually existed.

Bingo. Hence LWOP was the right penalty. He was a terrorist wannabe; killing him would have provoked a reaction all out of proportion to the threat he posed. Out of sight, out of mind (in more than one sense), out of trouble… the jury got it right when it ruled LWOP for… um, what was his name again?

I think the guy received a lot more credit for being a “terrorist threat” than actually existed. He and Richard Reid [the guy who couldn’t figure out how to use matches] can impress each other in the Federal SuperMax.

What, killing a “suicider” isn’t a deterrent? That’s crazy talk!

I wish they would just admit that they want revenge, not justice. Moussaoui will now fade into obscurity in a SuperMax, which is as it should be.

…let’s face it; people like Mr. Gaffney are never going to ‘get it’. They’ll just keep rehashing the same old catchphrases and talking points because they are ill equipped by background, culture, or intellect to grasp the nature of the subject at hand…

He’s off the street, and he has already cost us too much money.

I am glad he did not get the death penalty. It was what he wanted. The appeals alone would have cost a great deal of money. This is better, he will hate prison.

I do not think he should have gotten the death penalty. It was what he wanted, and the appeals alone would have cost a great deal of time and money. He can spend the rest of his life in prison, he will not enjoy it. I do not think he is a big fish in the pond, probably just a little minnow with mental health problems.
