Another side of Bob and more!

The tempest may howl and the loud thunder roar
And gathering storms may arise
But calm is my feeling, at rest is my soul
The tears are all wiped from my eyes

Moussaoui: “Whoops” ...10:29 am

At first, the reaction to Moussaoui’s attempt to withdraw his guilty plea (after he’s already been convicted and sentenced) might well be a certain amount of righteous gloating; facing a lifetime of solitary confinement in a maximum security prison, it seemed that the only thing he had left to comfort him was his defiance, and now he has tossed even that away with this plea for mercy, and this admission — if you believe it — that he now has some trust in the U.S. system of justice, or at least in his ability to bamboozle it. To think of him squirming with these regrets for the rest of his life in his cell is to be reminded that sometimes a life sentence can indeed be worse than a sentence of death.

Still, one’s fear then becomes that this laughable ploy is not the last legal shot he can fire, and that this prisoner who was supposed to be condemned to oblivion and silence will continue using the legal system as his megaphone. Moussaoui deserves, above all, to be ignored and forgotten by the world. It will be a true shame if we continue to see his name in the papers year after year.

And that possibility is evidence enough to me that trials in civilian courts are not the way to be dealing with enemies of this nature.
