There's a good chance that Hasan will receive the military death penalty for his murderous rampage at Fort Hood. Since this administration has refused to classify this as a terrorist act,...and given the fact that Obama has to sign off on a military death penalty verdict,...how likely is it that Obama might commute the sentence to life without parole. Obama has nothing to lose since he is in his final years as POTUS.
Is there a down side for Obama if he chooses to commute the sentence?

I will be very surprised if he receives the death penalty. Everyone knows the guy is a terrorist. The workplace violence thing was a legal decision. They know he's a terrorist and if they execute him he will be a martyr. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty confident he's going to spend life in jail rather than be executed.
Nidal will be in military side of Leavenworth, life will suck for him. I hope he gets life because he wants to be a martyr. I believe Texas can try him on death penalty he murdered a civilian.
I wish Hassan could have been tried as the terrorist that he is. As far as the death penalty, I'm all for it in his case. It will be interesting to see how President Obama handles this.
The panel in the case is now deliberating what the sentence will be.
So much for being a "martyr", or others being encouraged to follow this slimeball's lead.
