Y'know, I don't have any problem with them executing the dude, I just don't want it to be some sterile event that is devoid of any sense of legal and moral satisfaction.  When they iced McVeigh, I didn't get the sense that justice had really been done, even though an evil man had been justifiably put to death.  I rather like the idea of swift and brutal punishment for people like that.  Maybe a carnival with rides and corn dogs outside the prison.

Maybe I just didn't get the invite to the "McVeigh gets his" party.

He wants to die.  He becomes a martyr.  Put him in an 8 X 12 cell, solitary confinement for the rest of his life.  He said he'd hate that.  Thanks for tip, dude.

I'm with grampster on this one.   Life, solitary, no possibility of parole.

Life, solitary, no possibility of parole.

Which means he's eligible for parole in what, 15 years?  Or when a bunch of Islamicist schmucks takes a school full of hostages and demands his release, or when it otherwise becomes "diplomatically expedient" to release him.

Wait a minute. It costs more to keep someone in prison for a year than it would to send a deserving young person to virtually any college in the nation for the same length of time.

Short rope. Long drop.

I would hate to make a martyr out of this guy. However, I think LawDog is right. I don't trust our politicos on either side of the aisle to not roll this guy the first chance they get on some backdoor deal.

I would be fine with life in prison,but I didn't lose anyone in the 911 attacks.
I would also be fine with the death penalty being that this guy is a self-described jihadist.
However,I am not exactly sure that he honestly knew precise details about the attacks.
I'm sure he knew about a terrorist plot,but I question if he could have actually saved lives if he had blabbed.
Would the F.B.I. even have believed this lunatic after he was caught?
