Verdict

The jury had two choices -- death by injection or life in prison. The jury's rejection of the death penalty was viewed as a setback for the government.
"I certainly believe the verdict should have been death," said former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. [CNN]

I'm a New Yorker originally, and I think Moussaoui got the appropriate sentence. Nothing we can do will undo the atrocities of September 11, 2001. We only bring ourselves to their level if we kill them in return. And while Moussaoui may have had info that could've prevented the event, he didn't even do it himself - he was in prison at the time! Would a serial killer's girlfriend get the death penalty? If he were given the death penalty, he'd simply waste years of US money in appeals, and some would view him as a tragic hero. I wish it could be undone, but we can't, and vengance won't help.

The N/S I'm always unsure of. I once did a test like this that rated how strongly you showed each one. It's an interesting tool, but so many people put so much (too much) stock in it, it's fun to see a less serious version like this. :) Yoinked from l0stmyrel1g10n.

If I didn't know for a fact that a lot of these people are NOT involved in higher ed, I'd think that everyone else was also procrastinating during finals week. A number of the above links are friendslocked, but you'll get the point with the others. If you know of any of these starting as a meme sooner, drop me a link and lemmie know. Ditto if you add to the chain. Not sure why i want to track them, I think just b/c these things I touched all cropped up so close in time to each other.
