I'm just wondering what everyone is feeling about this because right now I feel a precedence on this very issue is about to be set in court. Right now prosecutors are trying to get the death penalty for Moussaoui. Their case is that he could have prevented the 9/11 attacks by telling federal agents what he knew therefore he is guilty of the 9/11 attacks. This seems like a dangerous precedence. Yes he deserves to go to jail for life but the death penalty? He didn’t plan the attacks and I doubt he was even supposed to be involved in them at all. But if he had told them his Al Queda connections they may have been able to untangle the spider web…… It seems like a stretch for a death penalty to me.
