Moussaoui: A son only a mother could love
Mother of Zacarias Moussaoui urges France to oppose death penalty in his case
The mother of the only person charged in the U-S over the Nine-Eleven attacks is urging France to oppose the death penalty in her son's case.
[Uh, madame, the French don't have any say in these United States.What they're going to do? Stop the shipments of wine, cheese and Chanel?...LOL--Jen]
Zacarias Moussaoui (zak-uh-REE'-uhs moo-SOW'-ee) -- a French citizen -- has pleaded guilty to six felonies, four of which carry the death penalty. The prosecutors in the case have said they will seek to put Moussaoui to death.
His mother (Aicha el-Wafi)
[Notice that both son and mom have very non-French names.--J.T.]
says "for the moment there is no reason to condemn him to death."
[If Zacharias were being tried in any Islamic country, he would have been executed long ago and publicly beheaded in Saudi Arabia with little or no "trial."]
Moussaoui has said he was chosen by Osama bin Laden to fly an airliner into the White House. He said at the time of his plea that he intended to fight the death penalty.
The European Union condemns the death penalty for foreign nationals in the U-S. France outlaws the death penalty at home.
...which is why the crime problem is bad and getting worse in EU countries.
Believe it or not, the
French kept the guillotine in use for capital punishment until
1977.
We heard from this woman before, right after 9/11, if you'll remember.
He wasn't able to be a 9/11 hijacker on Flight 93 because he'd been arrested the month before.
The FBI had a huge file on him a foot high then.
In fact, if the Gorelick wall had been down and aggressive interrogations had been used on him, we might have found out about the 9/11 attacks in time to stop them.
At least we can thank the heroes on Flight 93 that brought the plane down before it could hit the White House or the Capitol and this was a bit easier for them to do because Moussaoui wasn't on board.
Fry him--whining mother be d*mned!
He fully intended to kill lots of us and still does.
