text: “The SAMs imposed on Mr. Abdulmutallab prohibit him from having any communication whatsoever with more than 7.5 billion people.." True. That's what solitary means. Now - there are, or should be limits on how long a prisoner spends in solitary. It is inhumane and no matter what horrid thing this guy planned, we still don't torture here. Well - except for John Yoo who's good with it.
  
  Religion - well, we have Christian clergy on staff, so a Muslim would be appropriate. Group worship - not so much. As for protection - we also have that duty to keep this worthless person safe. Not our first choice perhaps, but that comes with imprisoning someone. Besides - I want him to have a very, very, very long time in prison. No easy out by way of extra judicial killing either.
