I think that growing old in prison is a much worse punishment.

no doubt! But im pretty sure this dude is dead in a few days, if he is out with the general population in lockup.

...which is why he'll not be put in general population, and instead will be put in some sort of "supermax" security arrangement, (they have whole prisons designed like this) where he's in his cell 23 out of 24 and alone in a yard for the other one. you watch.

politically, while this will cause a certain amount of outrage domestically, it gives the terrorist side one less martyr to rally to their cause.

[Heffy]

I agree, let the fucker rot in a cell.

Not killing this guy shows there is some fairness in the USA system. The bloodthirsty have not prevailed, for once.

Not a lot of fairness elsewhere though, imagine the thousands of poor bastards they have locked up in Iraq (which had nothing to do with 9/11) for no good reason, and the civilians they "accidentally" shot/bombed.

hit the nail right on the head with that... (which is what I was planning to say before I saw you write it)

probably why they didn't kill off saddam hussien as well (when they captured him)... the shit disturbers are looking for martyrs, and they shouldn't have the pleasure...

They are probably not executing the him because hes a frontman.

As for Iraq, the number is probably in the tens of thousands in lock up. There is also a UN "intervention" into the realities of proxy detention centers including illegal detentions in Guantanamo Bay.

Good ol'peakekeepn Canada is doing their part by having such "suspected terrorists" in prison too. (coming close to 300 days solitary confinement for some)
