A bit of fun

This just in from the trial of Zacharias Moussaoui:

Asked by his lawyer why he signed his guilty plea in April as "the 20th hijacker," Moussaoui replied: "Because everybody used to refer to me as the 20th hijacker and it was a bit of fun."

Sometimes, just sometimes, MeTheSheeple thinks cruel and unusual punishment ought to be encouraged by the courts, rather than prohibited.

MeTheSheeple remembers some margin notes in his copy of Dante Aligheri's "The Inferno" that refer to historical permanent solutions to recidivism among child molesters. Those folks could probably come up with something fitting.

Yet, unfortunately, even such disgusting, drastic steps wouldn't counter moves by extremists that think nothing of beheadings.
