TY jseal! Didn't have time to check the sources myself...so TYVM for the links!

Irish? I wasn't doubting your sincerity...just that some emails come to us to try and MAKE us believe [whatever]...and I am not very trustful of email info anymore! I didn't doubt you...just the original source of the email!

And...I still say...whatever the judge said made it a feel good statement for us (those affected by the terrorist's actions)...and got a lot off the judges chest for all the time he had to endure the trial...but it DID NOT IMPACT REID IN ANY WAY! He believes what he believes and we can't change that which is imbedded in his beliefs since birth! Much like we can hardly change a racist's point of view...or a pure Republican or Democrat's point of view...and so on and so on...Reid has his beliefs and nary a thing can change them!

To keep him in our prison system will only qualify his beliefs and cost the taxpayer's a King's ransom for his lifetime. To try and "rehabilatate" him will be costly and not guaranteed (much like a child molester...it's deep in his soul). To kill him will give him martyrdom and make him someone to aspire to be like in the eyes of the followers behind him. We are doomed in whatever his sentence...

I hail his sentence...but it has it's faults abounding!
