#1 This guy was just a loser that the biggies recruited. "Oh, hell, maybe he can pull it off" sort of thing. And he managed to screw it up.

Reid is not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. In fact, he's the one at the bottom, dangling, after you ran out of branches, that the dog chews on or the cat batts at.

Prison will be the best living conditions he's had in a very long while.

#3 Prison should be an educational and broadening experience for Mr Reid.

Yes, I do imagine that he'll quickly become someones broad while in prison :-)

#4 I he had any brains he would have lit his shoe off in the bathroom. People would have assumed he was a smoker trying to defeat the smoke detectors.

Does the exact placement of the bomb matter over the middle of the Atlantic? Once you shred the fuselage its over.

This guy really was stupid.

#5 I just found the full transcript the exchange between Reid and Judge Young. It's here and it's worth reading.

#7 Parts of it read like the Gettysburg Address...this judge thought long and hard about his speech and I wish the transcript would get a larger distribution in the mass media...or at least an Instapundit link.
