NEWS: 9/11 Conspirator wants Death Sentence

*Posted June 5, 2008*

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has confessed to being one of the men who planned the 9/11 attacks, told a courtroom judge that he wants the death sentence so that he can be a martyr for his cause. He has been held in Guantanamo (a place both Obama and McCain want to close) since his capture in Pakistan in 2003. I say let him have it, it's been a long time coming. It's a win-win situation. Either you go against his wishes and keep him locked up for life in a military prison just to make him mad, or you do everyone a favor and get rid of him. Thousands of people died for his cause, he might as well die to. This week's news of the weird (brought to you by newsoftheweird.com)Police in Fort Myers, Fla., were called to Royal Palm Exceptional School in April and wound up arresting an 8-year-old boy named Deshawn for punching his female teacher in the face, leaving several bruises. Said Deshawn's grandmother, Dorothy Williams, when interviewed by WBBH-TV: "He gets very upset, and he loves to hit," but "If he was overpowering her that much, I feel like she shouldn't be in that line of work."
