Moussaoui's Oubliette

Unlike most people I think Zacharias Moussaoui is getting exactly what he deserves. He doesn't get to be martyr, he doesn't get to make any more speeches, he gets to be forgotten.

Moussaoui is going to be dropped into his own personal oubliette in Colorado's SuperMax prison. And when he dies in 50 years or so, no will even remember who he was or what he tried to do. Instead of a Full page layout on page one announcing his execution, at best he'll get a couple paragraphs announcing that the one time confessed jihadist died of kidney failure, and was buried in American soil because he had no family to claim him.

On Les Aura!
