| Suspect Could Face Death Penalty but would Barry Sign it? |
| 2009-11-10 |
| The Army psychiatrist suspected in Thursday's deadly Fort Hood rampage in Texas could get the death penalty if he is convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder — and military law experts say the evidence against him will be substantial. American-born Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan has yet to be charged but is expected to face at least 13 counts of murder, one for each of the victims who died, as well as numerous assault and weapons charges in a court-martial. "Obviously, we're all guessing, but it's reasonable to believe that he will be convicted and sentenced to death," said retired Navy lawyer Philip Cave, now a military crimes defense attorney. |

| #21 Here's the feller I was referring to in an earlier post. I was a PSD for CFLCC during the buildup and execution of OIF 1 when he did that up on the border. we flew our Principles out straightaway to assess the C2 damage. The 101st bounced back admirably, as indicated by the ass-kicking they gave Saddams' boyz. "Hasan Akbar, a 34-year-old Muslim who was sentenced to death, told investigators he staged the attack because he was upset that American troops would kill fellow Muslims." With that being said, he's the next dude Uncle Sugar needs to flush down the dispose-all. Towards the Greater Good, Bodyguard |

| #19 My vote for the good major? Hang up a black curtain, lay out a table and cut off his head; video every second of it -- then send the video viral around the world. I know, I know, that would only make them hate us more, and that's beneath us. We can't stoop to their level. Hummmmmm Hummmmm Hummmmm |

| #18 Yeah, Barbara, I don't think he will, either. Kaine's supposed to be one of the "smart" ones. Whether he is or not, I'm sure he's smart enough to figure out he's toast if he saves this guy's ass. |

| #17 "even if Kaine changes his mind at the last second" Much as I dislike/distrust Kaine, Blondie, I don't think he will. It's political suicide for him, and since he's the chairman of the DNC, damaging to them, too. And don't think it wouldn't get brought up again and again. Wave buh-bye to Mo-ham-head. |

| #16 "He needs to be consigned straight away to the end of a rope, as does that J. A. Muhammad Dude" Be patient a few more hours, Bodyguard. Tonight at 9 p.m. Injection rather than rope, but he's on his way to HELL either way. |

| #15 THe ACLU There, fixed it for you, Bodyguard. No charge. |
| Posted by: Old Patriot 2009-11-10 15:13 |
| #14 'moose beat me to it. But anyway....Bodyguard, the Supreme Court refused to hear that J.A. Muhammad guy's case, so if the governor refuses to give him clemency he's literally not going to see tomorrow. Last report, Kaine's not gonna do it. (Besides, even if Kaine changes his mind at the last second, Arizona, Alabama and Louisiana are in line for a piece of him. Those three can and do execute...) |

| #13 I gather that he killed at least one civilian, which would incline the Army to let the State of Texas prosecute for that offense. Texas will definitely execute him on State charges, and there is not a damn thing Obama could do to stop it. |

| #12 We'll be lucky if this POS isn't released on a technicality, given a medical retirement, honorable discharged, and asked to come to work for the Obama administration. |

| #11 I go with the Black Jack Pershing approach to Muslim terrorists: bring in a pig, slaughter it in front of the terrorist, have the firing squad dip its bullets in the blood, ready, aim, fire. It ain't gonna happen - this will be litigated into the next century. |

| #9 Old Revolutionary War ditty: Shoot Me Like A Soldier, Do Not Hang Me Like A Dog. So it follows he should not be shot. |

| #8 Firing squad is traditionally considered a more honorable way to go than hanging. The worst of the Nurenberg defendants got the noose, as did the two Conferedate sympathizers executed for treason in the Civil War. The Rosenbergs got the chair. I'd go with hanging. So I'm a traditionalist? Yougottaproblemwiddat? |

| #5 I know its a British Empire thing but I always had a special regard for a public drawing and quartering with 4 strong bison for a crime like this. On Sat tv would make it better. |

| #4 Let's not leave out the treason charges, eh? And I favor a firing squad. |

| #3 THe ACLU are foaming at the mouth over this one. He needs to be consigned straight away to the end of a rope, as does that J. A. Muhammad Dude and our very own SGT "Let me frag my own HQ on the eve of war". Everyone in our camp is correct in the assumption of being afraid of the PC gig here in the Army, hopefully this will change some minds... Towards the Greater Good, Bodyguard |

| #2 1 - the appeals process will take it into the next administration. Toss up on who's in the seat, but could certainly be a moot question. 2 - means of execution. The military and civilian appeals process will probably determine which method of execution is authorized since the judicial ruling caste has seen fit to micro direct such actions in their desperate attempts to stave off any executions. |
