Biden on Moussaoui's Prison Sentence

Joe Biden indicates that Moussaoui will be tortured in prison. And he seems to think it's funny. We all know about the physical and sexual abuse that takes place in prison, but since when is that something to laugh at? Are these the same liberals who thought the whole military was horrible because of a few whack jobs (and they were that) at Abu Ghraib? Where is the outrage?

Here's the transcript. Rush Limbaugh has the sound clip, too.

We're back to Hardball now with Chris Matthews.

Matthews says, "What do you make of Moussaoui's comment as he left the courtroom? He yelled out, 'America , you lost,' and clapped his hands?"

BIDEN: I don't want to be that sucker in prison. I don't want to be that guy in an American prison. If you want to say how to punish somebody, put Zarqawi [sic] in a prison with a bunch of red-blooded American criminals. Criminals. Put him in there for live -- and guarantee under no circumstances, no circumstances, could he get out of prison. I think that boy is about to have, as we Catholics say, an epiphany. I think he's about to find out (laughing) that he may not have gotten the better end of the deal.

MATTHEWS: Do you think he'll survive for long in prison, senator?

BIDEN: I think it's not going to be an easy road for him.
