Are we really going to make a martyr of Zacarias Moussaoui? It looks like it's possible now that a jury has found him eligible for death penalty. Whatever you think of him, and I think he's complete scum and probably does deserve to die, it's not only a far, far worse punishment for him to rot in jail for the rest of his life but also it avoids turning him into cause celebre by fundamentalists. But I fear that the bloodlust that has gripped our erstwhile Christian society will not let him live.
