If history teaches us anything, let us know that to hold any Middle Easterner in prison will eventually become a bartering tool for the terrorists. In each terrorist case coming from outside our country, a warning was issued with a demand for release of specific prisoners. To put this man, Moussaoui, in prison for life should he escape the death penalty, will put Americans in danger here at home, but also abroad.
Note that Americans are constantly being taken hostage with several being killed. When a head is cut off, it is a sign to Americans that we are not held in honor in the eyes of that land. When a bullet is put through a hostage, there is still honor in their death. In the case of the Christian Science journalist who is hostage, the robes they film her in tells me that when she dies, she will be considered to be a martyr for their cause and will also take her place in heaven. They respect her greatly but will kill her if they deem it necessary to further their cause. In most all of the cases, it is for Americans to stop doing business in the lands where hostages are held or for prisoners to be released. Think about it.
