Time.com - Viewpoint: Zacarias Moussaoui may not be a likeable character but that doesn't mean American justice is served by putting him away after a farcical trial
In our system, everybody - evil as he may be - deserves a fair trial (yes, everybody). If we want to win that war, we have to make these beliefs - which are the base of our political and social system nowadays - shine brightly.
The key sentence of the article IMHO is this one:
American values (and all Western Democracies values, R.) include respecting the rights of even those who attack them.
Agreed Rattler.
And if our system cannot put people like this away for their crimes for a very very long time, there is something wrong with our system.
