re: #249 borgcube

Just saw a clip of an exchange between John Kyl and Eric Holder. Forgive me if this has been discussed here before, but what Kyl asked/stated was stunning.

Is it true that KSM has already asked to plead guilty before a military court and be executed? Are you *$%#^(%^ me ?

And Holder’s response was that it’s not KSM’s decision, but his, so there? Neener neener neener?

He wants to be “martyred” so he can go to paradise and get his 72 houris. I’d rather see his ass locked up until he dies, maybe with some pot bellied pigs as cellmates so that he is “unclean” at death. Giving him the death penalty is just giving him exactly what he wants so that his buddies can use his death as a further recruiting tool. Locking him up in solitary and then forgetting about as his ass is probably about the worst punishment we could give him from his viewpoint.
