Why...??? (Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab)

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who tried to bring down a U.S. commercial flight on Christmas Day 2009 by detonating a bomb hidden in his underwear, was sentenced to life in prison Thursday in federal court in Detroit.

Why...???

Why isn't he being executed?

Why are the American People destined to pay for his continued incarceration - food, shelter, medical care - throughout a lifetime that will no doubt span many decades?

Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty in October to eight charges, including attempted murder and terrorism, for trying to take down the flight.

And yet we're not executing him...? Instead we're opting to squander only God knows how many millions of taxpayer dollars over the next 40... 50... 60 years "caring for" and "providing for" this animal?

It makes no sense...!!!

Abdulmutallab, the son of a wealthy banker who studied in London, spoke briefly in court Thursday, proclaiming, “Mujaheddin are proud to kill in the name of God. And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Koran,” he said, according to the Associated Press. “Today is a day of victory.”

And you know what... he's right! Certainly this sentence is a defeat for common sense!

“Today’s sentence once again underscores the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in both incapacitating terrorists and gathering valuable intelligence from them,” said Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.

Holder is a fool.
