Who "won" depends on how you define "win". In cases like this, I would feel little sense of victory in killing him. I will, however, feel a sense of victory thinking about him sitting in prison watching as we crush al-Queada.

No, but read the jury's answers to the special interrogatories in the verdict form propounded by the Court. These are, in essence, the "findings of fact" in the case. On the evidence presented, the trial brought out facts that should be the subject of press reports. This seems to me an accomplishment. Short of a military commission like the trial in ex parte Quirin over 60 years ago, this is about the best we could have expected. I think it points out the futility of using the criminal justice system to deal with enemy combatants which Moussaoui clearly was.

I am not sure the entire situation can even be framed in terms of who "won" (indeed, to adopt that perspective is to subscribe to Moussaoui's view of the events).
