Good call on Moussaoui

As your blogstress writes, word comes that the jury in the case of Zacharias Moussaoui, a member of the 911 terrorist plot, has sentenced him to life in prison -- not death. This is a sage decision, even if it does provoke the U.S. right to rabid denouncements of the nation's judicial system.

As has been long discussed, a death sentence for Moussaoui will make a martyr out of this hateful, and likely mentally ill, would-be terrorist. Today's decision is one in which justice surely wins.
