Accused Ft. Hood Gunman Renounces US Allegiance
2013-08-02
[Ynet] Accused Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Hasan, MD, PhD
...the bearded, paralyzed friend of ex-Al Qaeda cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki, who became an ex-cleric courtesy of a drone missile, followed fairly quickly by the death of his son and some friends by the same method. There are those who feel this is bad because poor Anwar was born in the U.S. as, after a decent interval, was his son...
released documents to Fox News on Thursday, days before his court-martial is to begin, in which says he wishes to renounce his US citizenship and military oath.

Hasan, an American-born Mohammedan and US Army major, is charged with opening fire on the Army post in Texas in November 2009, killing 13 and wounding 32. He is acting as his own attorney in his court-martial, scheduled to begin at the base on Aug. 6. If convicted he could face execution or life in prison.

#8  * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > AL-QAEDA LEADER [Ayman Zawahiri] VOWS TO BREAK OUT MUSLIMS HELD AT GUANTANAMO.

Besides possibly rescuing MAJOR HASAN, undoubtedly a few of the rescued Hard/Burqua Boyz will be charged to stay on in Cuba + set up Jihadi Ops there + as well as "near-abroad"???

#5  The courts martial board is the jury.

The judge is the administrator to insure compliance with legal proceedings. There are three courts martial forms, the general, the special and the summary. The latter is akin to a magistrates court consisting of one officer and has limited punitive powers. Both the general and special courts martial have the full array of judge, attorneys, and the board and has the same punitive abilities as any civilian criminal court but with additional articles concerning criminal behavior that don't exist in the civilian world.

One of the differences between civilian criminal proceedings and military is the ability of the jury members to ask questions of those on the witness stand. The usual proceeding has the questioner write the inquiry on paper and then have the judge review it for relevance and proper legal form.

#2  A day late, a dollar short.

Use his statements in open court to prosecute for treason which Constitutionally carries 'blood forfeiture'.

#1  Won't do him any good to renounce, rip up his meal card, or kick the door. It won't be accepted. He's much safer to the regime as a deranged, nutcase US Army officer. Remember, we are NOT at war with Islam.
