He told Kohlmann he could not accept any attorney because he only believes in Sharia, or Islamic law.

I would dearly love to have several prominent and respected muslim scholars come in to the court room and testify that under sharia law, he's a murderer and ought to be put to death. Then don't. I would like him to live a long and dull existence in prison until he rots away wondering if the muslim scholars were right about him.

Assuming, of course, he's found guilty which I question the likelihood as most ofthe evidence against him is probably going to be inadmissible. *shrug*

If they let him go though, I guess he doesn't get to be a martyr. :p

sentence him to life per each count (count each 9/11 victim seperately) run consectuatively.

1- Calling on Muslim scholars to testify would be a GREAT idea.

2- Giving him Death Penalty would be a TERRIBLE idea.

3- Getting him to a Texas prison and letting the inmates know who he is and what he'd LIKE to see happening to him (thus preventing them from murdering him) would be a GREAT idea.

4- Getting him to Gitmo, which is essentially a concentration camp, would be a TERRIBLE idea.

This was another GREAT Idea/TERRIBLE Idea

Considering that, as I understand it, a life sentence means that it is possible to be paroled after 18 years, and considering that roughly 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks...that puts him as getting out of prison in about 56,000 AD or so. I'll be long dead, so hopefully they'll have discovered the cure for colossal, brainwashed, insane stupidity by then and ca apply it to him. Fine by me.

if found guilty he should be examined by shrinks in a reasonably comfortable cell and attempts should be made to rehabilitate him into a normal functioning member of sociaty :)

Oooh, I like that idea. A nice big glass box overlooking the square. Nothing to see, day and night, but the bright light of commercialism. It'd be like torture to him, but still allowable under international law. (as if that matters in the States:rolleyes:)

In the US, life without the possibility of parole means you're behind bars until you die. There is a life sentence with the possibility of parole, but I SERIOUSLY doubt that these guys will get that, if they're found guilty.

My main concerns are: how do we keep him from becoming a martyr?

One thought is to isolate him; then systematically remove him from history, name, image, even memory... But then who would we blame.

Another thought of mine is to put him in a clear plastic Human hamster cage, and yes, complete with running wheel. Then we feed him lots of food saturated with fat. We watch him grow fatter and fatter over time. Untill inevitably he dies the American death of clogged arteries.

Regular Muslims don't give a shit about terrorists. Look at the lives they have taken within Muslim countries. Seriously the average Muslim wants to live their lives as they want like we do. They get pissed off at suicide bombings and the like too. For example in Morocco where the guys blew a night club up and hit a couple other targets were hunted down and shot in the street.

yes, but there is a sentence of Life where the person does get parole. thus it has to be stated that it's life w/o parole.

You want to talk about the belief that an entire group or most of it is represented by parts of it? By all means...

***Dealt from the bottom of the deck, spoken with poison in its voice, shed light upon the actual facts, seven times!***

***7th Flush***

Considering that a sizable part of the American population actually believes gays cause hurricanes, earthquakes and terrorist attacks, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population supported an entire war over NOTHING, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population doesn't believe in the Evolution of the species, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population thinks Israel is a tool for the upcoming Apocalypse, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population has "race" as a criteria to pick a Presidential candidate, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population thinks, despite all evidence, that torture is effective and ethical, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

Considering that a sizable part of the American population believes God is at the same time merciful and good and willing to send non-believers to Hell, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEY WERE IN LIFE, your point really isn't being helped by some of your peers.

These are seven reasons why I don't believe some people, even a sizable portion, of a given group, are representative of the rest. Do you?

This whole trial depresses me, because if convicted the defendant's a twat of the first water; but also because I get the feeling that the prosecution will be able to put through a lot of dodgy stuff regarding confessions under torture, and no-one will really oppose that because it's connected to 9/11, and it'll set a lot of precedents for it being allowed in general.
