Worse than Death
And No Martyrdom to Boot...
In what must have been an agonizing decision, the jury in the Moussaoui trial hands down a sentence of life in prison w/0 parole. For poor little Zacarius, this will mean 23 hours a day lock up in a cell, alone and of course no twenty virgins or whatever waiting for him in his so-called heaven. Throw in the chance for some forced sodomy and I think we've achieved some justice here. Either way, from Elephant's perspective, a lifetime alone in the federal government's "Care" and being robbed of his martyrdom is far, far worse than death.
I'm picturing a nice little cell right next to Manuel Noriega's.
