Life or Death?

So here's the situation: you've got this guy Zacarias Moussaoui convicted of participating in terrorist attacks and you're trying to decide whether to put him to death or give him life in prison. So what would be the obvious choice? Obviously prison! Unfortunatly some people don't seem to get that through their skulls. They seem to think that the only possible remedy is death. News flash: HE WANTS TO DIE!!!! He wants to die so then he can go down as a martyr!! So WHY IN THE WORLD would you give the man what he wants?! Personally I say let him rot in prison for the rest of his sorry little life. I don't give a damn what they do with him in there but let him rot there. Putting him to death is giving him the easy way out. Personally I wish they still had torture chambers for people like him.
