| #17 Not even sure if one can call it sarcasm anymore, Raj. But yeah, I forgot to add my sarc off tag at the end. I don't really comment that much so I forget matters of etty-quetty from time to time. |

| #14 Hasan believes he will go to paradise when he is executed. Personally I'm inclined to think his version of paradise doesn't exist, but while I am normally pro-death penalty in this case I want Hasan to live a very long life in military Supermax locked in a cell 23 hours a day. Make him wait 30 or 40 years before he can die and become a martyr and go to his paradise like he believes and wants. |

| #12 Workplace violence would be a boss who grabs your ass every time you walk by and tells you not to wear panties, and threatens to destroy your life if you say otherwise. Am I right Mr. President? Obama? Sir? This was either terrorism or an action by an enemy soldier on US soil, destroying a platoon and change of US Soldiers. Nah, they want this story gone so bad we didn't even get the standard The Gun Made Him Go Crazy so Ban Guns! treatment. The gay leaker and the hobbled jihadi in the same cell? I'd watch that show. |

| #11 The CAAF hasn't allowed a single death penalty to be carried out for decades. I'd place my bets there. Then again till Timothy McVeigh decided to test the speed of the penalty at the national level, we hadn't seen such a quick conviction to execution in that system in decades either. I guess it depends upon how quickly the Obama administration wants to 'bury' the dirty problem of 'work place violence' vs 'terrorism'. |

| #9 In military courts, the death penalty requires a unanimous vote of the panel. It's conceivable that one or more members will want to refuse to give Hasan what he wants. I hope the prosecution discourages that line of reasoning. Doesn't matter if it's what he wants. Dead men can't gloat. Fucker needs to die. Of course, I'm dubious that the CAAF will let it happen. |

| #5 It was just a little "workplace violence." You'd have to be a moron to believe it. You'd have to be a moron to propose it, or have to believe most of your subjects are morons. |

| #4 C'mon y'all. It was just a little "workplace violence." No need to get carried away with all the death penalty business. |

| #3 No, don't make him a martyr, which is what he wants. |
