Justice Served or Denied?

Zacarias Moussaoui claimed victory over America after a jury rejected the government's effort's to put the Sept. 11 conspirator to death and instead decided to lock him away in prison for the rest of his life.
Moussaoui, who spent much of his two month trial cursing America, blessing al-Qaida and mocking the suffering of 9/11 victims, offered one more taunt after the jury reached its verdict Wednesday: "America, you lost ... I won, " he proclaimed, clapping his hands as he was escorted from the courtroom. full story

Defiant to the end. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema firmly refused to be interupted by the defendant, saying, "Mr. Moussaoui, when this proceeding is over, everyone else in this room will leave to see the sun ... hear the birds ... and they can associate with whomever they want," she said. She went on: "You will spend the rest of your life in a supermax prison. It's absolutely clear who won." "Mr. Moussaoui, you came here to be a martyr in a great big bang of glory, but to paraphrase the poet T.S. Eliot, instead you will die with a whimper." full story

An appropriate hell for a man who invited an execution to achieve his sick ambition of martyrdom:
He is expected to join other notorious prisoners at ADX Florence, the federal government's most secure prison, known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies, set in harsh, mountainous terrain south of Colorado Springs. Prisoners there are confined in cells, 12 feet by 7 feet. Each has a cement bed, toilet, desk and stool. Inmates stay in solitary for 23 hours a day. They shower, sleep and exist alone, their meals pushed through a slot in the steel door. No one has escaped the 12-year-old prison.
