Moussaoui

Could not find existing thread or recent discussion.

Thoughts on everything so far? I'm kind of disappointed with how things are turning out. It seems like, despite his efforts, he never managed to accomplish anything that warrants execution, but we are happy to let him claim he was big and important and assist him in climbing up to the role of Dead 9/11 Conspirator.

Some seem to think this is win/win, but something about it really bothers me.

Seymour Hersh's piecee on Moussaoui is just totally depressing. This whole trial has been a farce from start-to-finish, with everyone involved's motives ultimately being very self-serving and pathetic. The Feds bungled the case from the start, Moussaoui is by all accounts mentally unstable and not a key Al Qaeda player in any way, his defense attorneys have been hamstrung by the draconian rush-to-kill pressure from all sides and by Moussaoui's willingness to play into it for his own totally crazy reasons. As far as I can tell, we're well on the road to executing a scapegoat who is all too happy to be sacrificed - justice has little or nothing to do with it.

Yeah, the Show Trial aspects of it are bad enough, but conducting a Show Trial that plays into the hands of Al Qaeda is ludicrous.

I mean really we're just making a martyr of this guy FOR NO GOOD REASON. Its so appallingly stupid on so many levels.

He's the ultimate patsy, and american bloodlust cannot be stopped.

I just don't even grasp the legal logic that someone can be guilty of murder because something they didn't do might have possibly led to the aversion of someone else committing a murder. I mean, there's like three levels of culpability/probability involved there - its just totally ridiculous.

Frankly I don't think Moussouai confessing his knowledge of the attacks prior to 9/11 would have made a single iota of difference to the law enforcement community - who otherwise horribly bungled every single other clue they had.

ARTHUR VS. MOUSSAOUI

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 May 2006 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think he's doing press.

i think this is quite sad, actually. he seems to act as though he was playing a video game, as though the stakes weren't high and there would be a "new game" option at the end.

i believe he seriously didn't believe he would get a fair shake, and that's (one reason) why he pleaded guilty. which he now regrets.

this is what you get for not taking legal advice.

and being mentally ill.

this guy seems to exist at the borderline between "fit for trial" and "unfit for trial."

really sad.

He probably really did want to die, and now he's like 'oh shit wait - I have to stay in prison and get buttraped for the rest of my life? NURSE! I WANT OUT PLZ'

Didn't various al Qaeda bigwigs say they didn't want him involved in 9/11 as he was too bonkers to be a suicide bomber?

If you're too loopy for them, you're probably off the scale.
