Convicted September 11th co-conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui was spared the death penalty. His reaction:

“America, you lost. I won!” Moussaoui yelled as he was escorted from the U.S. District courtroom in Alexandria after the verdict was read. He clapped his hands as he left.

There are those who believe that the fight against Jihadist terrorism should be handled by law enforcement, as though al Qaeda were the mafia. To me, that’s naive and dangerous thinking.

You can’t win a war in court. Just ask Zacarias Moussaoui.
