Defiant, Belligerant Moussaoui Sentenced to Life
Zacarias Moussaoui gave a political lecture at his sentencing today. He mocked victims who spoke, saying the U.S. is hardly the country of peace and love. He said the U.S. lost an opportunity to find out why people like him and Mohammad Attah hate America so much, and if we won't listen, we will feel it..again, they will be back. Of course, there was a "long live Osama." (no link yet, I heard this all on tv.)
The Judge told him that his comment yesterday about winning was wrong, that everyone in the courtroom will be free today to leave and go where they want, smell the fresh air, see the sunlight, and he will be locked in a tiny supermaximum prison cell.
He is going to Supermax at Florence, the media doesn't know when since that's up to the Bureau of Prisons. I remember that after McVeigh's sentencing, he was on his way to Florence either that day or the next. Of course, Denver is a lot closer to Florence but still, now that Moussaoui has been sentenced, I think they will get him out of Virginia very quickly.
