Insult to injury:

Well the jury in charge of the Moussaoui case has decided what we have known all along, that he is guilty. Where the surprise came was on their decision to not give him the death penalty but instead life in prison.

For me this is insult to injury. Not only did he have his hand in the death of 3,000 people and the emotional scarring of countless others, he now gets to spend the rest of his life (most likely decades) alive on our taxpayer dollars. He’ll get to taste food, breath air and though unlikely have the hope of one day seeing the outside again. Am I the only one disgusted that my hard earned money, that the government has confiscated from me is going to keep this guy alive?
