Life for Moussaoui

Normally I wouldn't break my end of the semester studies, and particularly at now seeing as this is my last semester at college, but there is certainly reason to rant. Today it was descided that Zacarias Moussaoui the only person put on trial for the september 11th attacks on the the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, is to get life in prison, and avoid the death penalty. I really don't have much to rant about except to say that I am so exhilirated that a man put on trial for acts of terrorism would be relativly fairly tried in this country. Of course I say relatively fair, because I am not sure that his involvement deserves life in-prisonment, but he could have easily been put to death, but wasn't. I think this attests to the validity of the U.S. juridical system, which on occasion does get overwhelmed by the sway of politics but on occasion also produces a descion on a case that this nation can be proud of.
