show trial

• Views: 1,543

A criminal trial is too good for the likes of Zacarias Moussaoui, who by any definition of the words has to be considered a spy and a saboteur. But he will now be afforded all the rights and privileges of a US citizen, in a trial that has a good possibility of becoming a fiasco. This is a very misguided decision, and I hereby predict that it’s going to come back and bite someone on the ass.

Rich Lowry has a good piece on this at the National Review: Show Trial.

Like bin Laden, Moussaoui deserved only to be killed on the battlefield, which he brought here to the U.S. in violation of all the rules of war. As it turned out, his stupidity and clumsiness kept him off Flight 93, but a military tribunal could have at least given him his tawdry and evil martyrdom within a matter of weeks.

Instead, he sits in Alexandria, for a trial that, even if it is handled professionally and efficiently, should be considered a travesty.
