Social Commentary

There is a couple things that i just couldnt resist commenting on when i saw them. So lets get started shall we? First on my mind is the fact that Moussaoui curses as jury backs death. Now think about this for a minute. This is the guy that planned to hijack a 5th plane on 9-11 and fly it into the White House. For sometime now the prosecution has been having some trouble with the trial, but the jury just returned the ok for the death sentence. At this point Moussaoui cursed. Now seriously, you planned to hijack the 5th plane, you admitted it to the FBI, and you get up set when you are allowed to be put to death. In the article that is posted with the picture in the previous link are some of the finer points of the Moussaoui defense lawyers, IE himself. Here is one of my favorites...

Moussaoui on jury trials: "The fundamental U.S. right to an impartial jury ‘guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment also necessarily includes a jury composed of the defenders peers.' Brown v. Kelly, 1992. I am sure that the government will be delighted to bring 12 Talebans from Cuba."

If thats not enough reason to execute the guy right there then i really dont know what else to say. Although i think they should have held the trial in Texas so that he would have been executed by now, there by leaving us free to second guess the trial all we wanted. I also think in something of this magnitude the accused, if found guilty should not be able to appeal without some kind of evidence of the so called FBI coverup.

My second intriguing article of the day comes to us from the New Yorks Times and it is entitled With Yoga, Comedy and Parties, Synagogues Entice Newcomers . Now you cant tell me when you first see this headline you wouldnt stop and at least consider the material that could potentially be in this article. Now I admit this isnt nearly as exciting as reading some of the stupid things that Moussaoui as said, but it is still amusing none the less. I mean just think of it, instead of the kegger at Jimmy Johnsons you can go to the "Torah cocktail party" at Shir Goldsteins. Sounds like a killer good time to me. MOTZAH BALLS FOR EVERYONE!

Well thats all i got for today.

Don't you think giving him the death penalty is more or less exactly what he wants? Wouldn't it be better to toss him in a hard labor camp?

I see your point. Ths might be our chance to work something out with the Russians and send him to Siberia.
