From: http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/01/02/inv.moussaoui.arraignment/index.html "In the name of Allah, I do not have anything to plea. I enter no plea," Moussaoui told Brinkema. Since the first reports indicate the kind of job many were expecting, now is as good a time as any to ask the same question I asked of the Timothy McVeigh trials: If he is guilty, why do we have to railroad him? -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
