I am a long way from being a legal professor but I can come up with something that is, I think, an equally believable situation.
His blanket confession to pretty well every terrorist act from way way back gives him a stage on which to show just how powerful and successful his terrorist organisation really is. He seems to have tacked on a few missed opportunities. He has accepted that he has to go down for something evil. If his followers can sacrifice their very lives, why should he sway away from a long term of imprisonment? His continued presence on earth means that every time his name is mentioned - remember the appeals process in America can run for years - we get a rehash of what a threat Islamic terrorists can be. His story will run longer than The Mouse Trap ever did.
