No death penalty?

Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced Thursday to life in prison. It makes sense. I hope he lives a long time an will have an opportunity to repent and be redeemed. I understand the anger and the desire for revenge and punishment. But if he were sentenced to death, we would continue to hear about it for a long time to come. Now he quietly disappears from humanity and will spend enough time, I hope, to understand how wrong he is.

The life in prison penalty made me feel proud to be an American.
