New boycotts and protests Jury deliberates fate of Moussaoui MichaelJ. Sniffen THE ASSOCIATED PRES ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Prosecutors showed the most gruesome and heartrending photos of Sept. 11 again on Mondayandtold jurorsthat only Zacarias Moussaoui’s death could give the victims justice. The defense asked his jury to spurnretribution andnot let a delusional andinept terrorist bait them into making him a martyr. With those final arguments,thelife of the 37-year-old Frenchman was placedin the hands of the same nine men and three womenwho early this month found him responsible for at least one death on 9/11 even though he was in jail at the time. * Now they must weigh the suffering and the glee the confessedal-Qaida conspirator tookin it on the witness stand againsthis role, his mental health and backgroundto decide whether he deservesthe death penalty orlife in prison withoutpossibility of release.

That bill foundered on procedural measures earlier this month. A House bill passed last December concentrates solely on enforcement, Republicans announced they would seek an additional $2 billionfor border security in the supplemental bill the Senate will debate this week. “When you combine this speech with the raids oflast week and the talk in the Senate of adding enforcement moneyto the supplemental, they're saying you can enforce the border and have a guest worker program at the same time,in tandem,” said Tamar Jacoby, a senior fellow at the Manhat- an approachthat is backed by some Senate conservatives who feelthat border security must come first House conservatives see any legalization program as a reward for law- tan Institute, a business-friendly public policy center. breaking. months promisethe birth of the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie baby, still in utero but already presumed unprecedent- NEW YORK — Like any expectant | edly gorgeous. “Not since Jesus has a baby beenso eagerly anticipated,” mothers, Kai Walter, six months preg- | nant, haslots to get done before the New York magazine wrote.
