In the maximum security facility known as the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," he would lead a solitary existence cut off from the country he hates so much By BRIAN BENNETT/WASHINGTON
Posted Thursday, May. 04, 2006
Zacarias Moussaoui will live out the rest of his days surrounded by poured concrete, with a thin horizontal window providing his only view of the country he conspired to attack. He'll be in this cell at all times except for the 90 minutes he'll get five days a week to go outside into a caged courtyard to exercise on his own, with no contact with other inmates. This is life at ADX Florence, the maximum security prison in the high desert of southeastern Colorado where the convicted 9/11 conspirator will almost certainly begin his life sentence. (The Bureau of Prisons won't officially confirm his destination until he arrives.)
Moussaoui, 37, will likely be held in the most restrictive part of the prison, sleeping on a thin, green mattress that rests on an unforgiving concrete bed. He can sit on a concrete stool at a concrete desk to write letters and read books. Above him at all times will be a video camera monitoring his every move. If he is well behaved, he could eventually be allowed to have a black-and-white television in his cell that plays, on closed circuit, religious programs, psychological help tapes or educational shows. His toilet can flush only a certain number of times an hour so he can't flood his room to get the guard's attention. For the same reason, his shower will run only for a short period of time.
Although Moussaoui won't get to mingle, he will be near other notorious inmates at ADX Florence including Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, attempted shoe bomber Richard Reid, 1993 World Trade Center mastermind Ramzi Yousef, 2000 Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph and FBI agent turned Soviet spy Robert Hanssen.

While certainly not ethical, I'd change the last chapter in his Quoran to be a comic featuring a Mohammed/Spider-Man team up, wherein the day is saved from infidels by Hostess Fruit Pies.

You just didn't like the fact that it was Taco Bell that survived the franchise wars and not Pizza Hut.

I dont eat any "fast food"- it's pretty vile (though I recall Pizza Hut being okay, if really greasy).
Taco Bell in Florida uses "grade C" meats- lips, feet and ass in a burrito! mmmm!mmm!good!
Besides, there are really good pizza and mexican joints here that are open 24/7.
Now we just need a 24 hour chinese resturant! Not even in San Fran did I find that though...

Pizza Slut sucks. Fast food pizza is just wrong. We had a Taco Bell here that was part of a corner store, I could barely go into the store without wanting to puke.

The Pizza Hut here is actually pretty good. There are a couple other pizza places that are WAY more greasy than PH, I'm talking rainstorms of grease every time you pick up a slice. We don't have Taco Bell here, we have Taco Time. Same thing. We have a couple good pizza places such as Boston Pizza, Panago pizza (Thier teriyaki chicken pizza is really good) and Venice House pizza. Thier pizza sause is really spicy.

Have we still not put the rule saying "anyone who changes the spelling of company or other noun for 'humorous' effect because they are radical and hip and want to stick it to the man will have their username replaced with 'titty-face'. Examples include Micro$oft, Apple Crap, and George W. Bush" in the UA yet?
(Besides, what does Pizza Slut even mean? You get a bread and cheese based meal which will sleep with you on the first date?)
Pizza Hut is okay as a restaurant, although the only time I tend to go in there is if they're doing their lunchtime buffet, which is when they put out the worst pizzas, so it's not really a far example.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

AND they don't actually COOK food on the premises. They take bags of predone crap and stick it in a "Thermalizer" then dump it in a warmer.
