Kyle,
I agree he die by firing squad. But I think you forgot couple incidents of American GIs who fragged their own brothers in arms. |

I agree completely. Not as farfetched as some would think. It would be the ultimate humiliation of our country in their eyes if they can wreak havoc on our military institutions ... like when they crashed that plane into the Pentagon building.

I'd be hard pressed to see the military relinquishing their role in prosecuting the case since it will fall before a military tribunal instead of a civilian court. And correct me if I'm wrong, but the military doesn't put people to death.

| I don't think this crime would be handled by a military tribunal since the suspect is a service member. Most likely scenario would be a General Courts Martial, the military could also possibly shift jurisdiction to the State of Texas. The UCMJ allows for the death penalty by lethal injection. |

Speculation is rife in the US media about whether Army Major Malik Nadal Hasanâ's massacre of 13 servicemen at America's biggest army base, Fort Hood in Texas Thursday, Nov. 5 was motivated by terrorist ideology.
US officials are tightlipped on the question, saying only the investigation will establish the facts. Witnesses among the two score injured reported that while firing two handguns, he shouted Alahu Akbar! before he was felled himself by four bullets. That morning, he went shopping in Muslim dress.
On a form filled out by Muslims seeking spouses through the mosque, Hasan listed his nationality as Palestinian although he was born in Virginia.
According to neighbors, Hasan handed round Qurans and his furniture that morning and had taken to wearing "Arab clothing" in recent weeks.

No doubt about it as being a terrorist idealogy. Being promote to a major isn't a piece of cake and it takes a lot of time (normally 6+ yrs).

It's just a testament to the bravery of our civilian police force that they can take out a madman before a bunch of our soldiers who are scattering.
I'm not confident at all about the army not being prepared for something just like this, while a female cop is popping a cap in the guy's ass. Maybe COPS should be a required training video. It really shows you what a good job a police force does on a daily basis, without claiming 'stress'. Makes you wonder who the real 'tough guys' are. |

You also can't dismiss the attitude from the Commander in Chief. We no longer use the word "terrorist," especially, "Islamic terrorist." The FBI was aware of his political postings on blogs, but it sounds like the climate and so-called political correctness prevented them from taking action. After all, we just recently had a police officer in the Boston area publicly reprimanded (for doing his job) by the president, who could guess what he would say if the FBI questioned him for his Islamic words of protest. |

I don't think they tell us publicly this was religiously motivated, as they don't want to cause a stream of hatred toward the Muslims. Remember the American whom went out and shot Arab gas station attendant?
It is to soon after Sept 11, not even a decade has passed. Obama was on TV today saying don't jump to conclusions. |

While that may be a great read, I am still very perplexed. At what point in this man's career did he turn. Obviously he has muslim beliefs but at what point did they manifest to the point of.....insanity. |

>>> At what point in this man's career did he turn
I think it' pretty clear and is something the military needs to address...
This guy has been in 20yrs, way before terrorism and the problems with muslim radicals...Now that it's the military focus, he tried to get out, even retained a lawyer stating his views now conflict with the mission, they didn't let him or continued to fight him on it...He felt pushed in an emotional corner and went off...None of that justifies anything but it does mean the military has to take a look at those like him and see if they want out, if so, let them...Sad, tragic and was probably avoidable(easy to say in hindsight of course)...
His recent poor performance was the first flags, he wanted out...They figured he just needed a change of scenery... |

The fact that they promoted him in May despite all the weak job evaluations/performance and observations is not about PC. Is is about weak management ... somebody screwed up.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.
e also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC

Did you need a reminder? Maybe if pictures of those coffins arriving in Dover AFB were not prohibited for so long, you would not need a reminder. I did not need one.

That statement right there just reeks of ignorance and stupidity and I'd LOVE to hear you repeat it in front of some of my military friends. Cops don't get fragged with grenades. Cops don't get blowm up by IED's. Cops don't have insurgents spend 24 hours sneaking up to the base of their encampment, hide until the morning patrol and then get blown up. Do you think guys in the Army are just running around with M4's and M239's slung on their backs all the time? There are a very small select few group of people that get to carry a sidearm - and thats the MPs and a few that have applied to be allowed to carry a weapon.
I just love hearing stupid comments like that from people that have no idea how an Army base works and it's insulting to hear someone make a joke about how 'the tough guys' are scattering. I don't see you signing up or risking that smart mouth of yours on the front lines to help defend that freedom you like to abuse so much, especially on here... and that's your freedom to say whatever you want and think it's cute. |

Barack Hussein Obama has advised us not to rush to judgment about the massacre at Fort Hood. “We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts,” said the President in a statement he delivered from the Rose Garden (while George W. Bush was in Fort Hood).
see-no-evil
Obama doesn’t want us to jump to the conclusion that the shootings at Fort Hood were a terrorist attack by an Islamic jihadist, Major Nidal Hasan. Obama would rather we forgot that Nidal Hasan screamed “Allah akbar” before he mowed down scores of patriotic Americans and gave away Qurans with his business card before his act of jihad. Hasan also gave his landlord two week’s notice – showing that he planned this for a long time. He didn’t just snap.
Obama wants us to ignore that Hasan went to a mosque where a jihadist imam preached hatred of America. The same imam was “spiritual adviser” for three of the 9/11 hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001. Obama would rather we didn’t know that when Hasan was asked his nationality, he didn’t identify himself as an American, but as a Palestinian. Obama doesn’t want us to rush to judgment about how Hasan spoke approvingly of the shooting death by an Islamic jihad terrorist of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June. Obama doesn’t us to draw any conclusions from how Hasan reportedly was heard saying, “maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square.”
But Obama says, don’t rush to judgment.
The President was not so circumspect when he spoke out about Professor Henry Louis Gates’ arrest by Cambridge, Massachusetts police Sgt. James Crowley. Obama incited hatred on national television, rushing to judgment against a white cop who was just doing his job. Obama tried to incite racial division and wrongly criticized the police during a news conference: “But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 … that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.” The incident, Obama said, showed “how race remains a factor in this society.”
A few days later, after an avalanche of criticism, Obama backtracked: “In my choice of words,” he said, “I unfortunately, I think, gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Crowley specifically.” But he did not apologize for his rush to judgment.
Apparently jumping to conclusions is wrong only when it leads to the conclusion that there has been another Islamic terror attack on American soil.
But to come to that conclusion really doesn’t involve any “rush to judgment” at all. What we know about Nidal Hasan makes that abundantly clear. He wrote “Allah” on his door, according to a neighbor, in Arabic. “Allah” on the door. During his postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences, he was reprimanded for preaching Islam to his patients and other doctors. He drew attention from law enforcement officials with Internet postings under his name that praised suicide bombing, saying that their intention was to “save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers,” and that “if one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.”
This was not the act of a crazy person. This was not the random act of a nutcase. Hasan committed murder execution style, at close range. He shot 44 to 50 rounds – that’s a lot of ammunition to come out of those two guns in such a short period of time. This was premeditated.
But Obama doesn’t want us to rush to judgment. Maybe that’s because Nidal Hasan was an adviser to the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force. The task force was not an official White House entity, but it did make policy recommendations.
And why not? Everyone was too scared to be called a bigot for saying Nidal Hasan was dangerous. Or they just assumed he was a “moderate.”
Like Obama, they rushed to judgment.

Fool, this was going on for a long time ... long before Obama became POTUS. Maybe the brass was just too scared to push any issue up the line to be shot down by the arrogan pair in the WH prior to Obama. I bet you would prefer the ready-fire-aim approach that we had before.

Barack Hussein Obama has advised us not to rush to judgment about the massacre at Fort Hood. “We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts,” said the President in a statement he delivered from the Rose Garden (while George W. Bush was in Fort Hood).
see-no-evil
Obama doesn’t want us to jump to the conclusion that the shootings at Fort Hood were a terrorist attack by an Islamic jihadist, Major Nidal Hasan. Obama would rather we forgot that Nidal Hasan screamed “Allah akbar” before he mowed down scores of patriotic Americans and gave away Qurans with his business card before his act of jihad. Hasan also gave his landlord two week’s notice – showing that he planned this for a long time. He didn’t just snap.
Obama wants us to ignore that Hasan went to a mosque where a jihadist imam preached hatred of America. The same imam was “spiritual adviser” for three of the 9/11 hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001. Obama would rather we didn’t know that when Hasan was asked his nationality, he didn’t identify himself as an American, but as a Palestinian. Obama doesn’t want us to rush to judgment about how Hasan spoke approvingly of the shooting death by an Islamic jihad terrorist of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June. Obama doesn’t us to draw any conclusions from how Hasan reportedly was heard saying, “maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square.”
But Obama says, don’t rush to judgment.
The President was not so circumspect when he spoke out about Professor Henry Louis Gates’ arrest by Cambridge, Massachusetts police Sgt. James Crowley. Obama incited hatred on national television, rushing to judgment against a white cop who was just doing his job. Obama tried to incite racial division and wrongly criticized the police during a news conference: “But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 … that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.” The incident, Obama said, showed “how race remains a factor in this society.”
A few days later, after an avalanche of criticism, Obama backtracked: “In my choice of words,” he said, “I unfortunately, I think, gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Crowley specifically.” But he did not apologize for his rush to judgment.
Apparently jumping to conclusions is wrong only when it leads to the conclusion that there has been another Islamic terror attack on American soil.
But to come to that conclusion really doesn’t involve any “rush to judgment” at all. What we know about Nidal Hasan makes that abundantly clear. He wrote “Allah” on his door, according to a neighbor, in Arabic. “Allah” on the door. During his postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences, he was reprimanded for preaching Islam to his patients and other doctors. He drew attention from law enforcement officials with Internet postings under his name that praised suicide bombing, saying that their intention was to “save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers,” and that “if one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory.”
This was not the act of a crazy person. This was not the random act of a nutcase. Hasan committed murder execution style, at close range. He shot 44 to 50 rounds – that’s a lot of ammunition to come out of those two guns in such a short period of time. This was premeditated.
But Obama doesn’t want us to rush to judgment. Maybe that’s because Nidal Hasan was an adviser to the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force. The task force was not an official White House entity, but it did make policy recommendations.
And why not? Everyone was too scared to be called a bigot for saying Nidal Hasan was dangerous. Or they just assumed he was a “moderate.”
Like Obama, they rushed to judgment.
This is going to prove the largest Islamic attack on US soil since 9/11. Say what you may about the prior administration (in fact, I would probably agree with it), but I never feared my safety. Obama's opponents in the election, including Biden and Clinton, cited protection from terror attacks was a certain weakness of this president. It's coming out now that Hasan was in communication with a former Muslim leader at a nearby (to me) mosque, a man now praising him for his killings on his blog. And, it's now being reported that when his orders were issued to go to Afghanistan, Hassan attempted contact with Al Qada and the FBI was aware of this. Of course Obama doesn't want anyone to rush to judgment, it's happened on his watch. Maybe he should apologize some more? Or, excuse this Army officer with mental illness?
And our troops are STILL hanging in Afghanistan while he continues to dither. Get them out or give them support.
And, the military is to prosecute this act - does that mean it's a closed trial? I'm not being sarcastic, I am asking because I don't know. If the above allegations prove true, then he should be treated as a terrorist. No different than the men that caused 9/11. And, whoever ignored reports of Hasan's hatred of America, those heads should roll. |

Of course it will be a military prosecution. It was a military member commiting a crime on a military base. Why would it not be prosecuted by the military court system?

| It could be tried in civilian court, by the state, or in federal court. Crimes out here that occurred on Quantico were recently prosecuted by the Feds, not the military. (An attempted terror plot, or did you not hear about that?) Or they could do what they did w/ the DC Sniper, split up the deaths, prosecute in more than one jurisdiction, with the murder in Manassas the basis of the death penalty for tomorrow's execution. |

My bad, now they say he was under investigation for a YEAR...
I think he became a radical after he was in and people used his discontent to help him over the edge, JMHO...
From our local paper's editorial comment section:
FT KNOX AND LOCAL MOSQUE After seeing what happened at Ft Hood, I am having concerns about the new Mosque on Ring Rd and what "may" be happening there. Not all Muslims are Jihadists but all Jihadists are Muslim and history has shown again terrorism/terrorists breed in those places. I hope Ft Knox is taking steps to check out all Muslim service members and looking out for the citizens and troops that live on and around the base.
God Bless The Troops and bring them home safe! |

It does not seem to me that he was a sleeper but he clearly crossed the line mentally and emotionally at some point after he joined the service. The free medical education was likely his initial objective but I also wonder if he he did not already have his "religion first and American second" mindset when he signed up.
From my untrained perspective, I still think that many signs he openly showed were misinterpreted and not connected by the ones responsible for doing so [FBI and military brass]. I thought that Homeland Security was created to ensure that connections and reliable interpretation of data are made in circumstances like this one. I fell less safe the more I hear.

Really? You think he went ape shiit? I initially thought that as well before hearing a lot of what was going on. According to his commanding officer at the hospital where he worked at Ft Hood, he was doing an excellent job and was wonderful with his patients. In my opinion, this man was planning something for a long time, he didn't just wake up that morning and have a mental breakdown and kill people. He IS a terrorist just like other terrorists that were bread here. He bacame more and more sympathetic to "his" cause and made a calculated decision to do what he did. |

| We're doing exactly what nam era did back in 60s and 70s. I have no doubt that Americans will step up and have a major protest over this non-sense wars. The main reason why Americans haven't step up earlier is that they're busy with their own financial struggles. |

That is scary if he was planning this for a decade or so. If so, there must be others.
Remember " Going Postal"? That happened in my area. That wasn't planned, other than maybe a week or so.
I still think he snapped. |
