Richard Reid, the "shoe-bomber", was sentenced to life in prison today. U.S. District Judge William Young had this to say at his sentencing...
"We are not afraid of any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before."
"You are not an enemy combatant — you are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war — you are a terrorist. To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature. You are a terrorist and we do not negotiate with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice."
"You see that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is long forgotten."
-- U.S. District Judge William Young
