..................
The Bush administration has obscenely used our NYC area 9/11 disaster since Bush arrived here to mug for the cameras at the site to the present revenge seeking of Federal prosecutors in the Moussaoui sentencing. Obviously this guy is a fanatic bent on martyrdom rather than a life sentence in one of our jails. He was confined by the authorities when 9/11 occurred and, thus, had no opportunity to contribute to it. The Fifth Amendment clearly permits potential offenders to remain silent when arrested and threatened with prosecution.
For the weeks after 9/11 those of us living here cringed each time a plane passed over head. We mourned our lost ones or breathed sighs of relief at those spared (my wife who emerged from the subway for a meeting down there just after the first plane had hit and who was able to walk out without getting dusted with what turns out to be deadly debris). I rode the subways to work past Chambers Street where the stench of what we knew were still burning bodies haunted our lungs and spirits for months thereafter.
I deeply resent the revenge seeking of the Feds. At least if they are going to take that route they could have the decency to find some one with responsibility for that attack, which they seem incapable of doing.
Shame for the American justice system here and generally with its barbaric blood lusts. Let Moussaoui contemplate his wannabe crimes for a lifetime, as has Sirhan, Sirhan who murdered a potential president of the United States in a comparably mad state of mind:

I cannot comprehend how an allegedly religious nation can so immerse itself in constant brutal killing and revenge seeking -- here and abroad. Remember Abu Ghraib:

Never again!
