What do you think he should be charged with for best obtaining a death sentence?
Treason?
That and cold blooded mass murder!! But I don't see it happening. The military is culpable in this because they ignored the signs. He said he even warned them.
Fort Hood Suspect Warned of Muslim Threat Within Military
The Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at Fort Hood reportedly warned senior Army physicians in 2007 that the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars to avoid "adverse events."
According to The Washington Post, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.
Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A source who attended the presentation told the paper, "It was really strange. The senior doctors looked really upset."
The Powerpoint, entitled, "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military," consisted of 50 slides, according to a copy obtained by the Post.
"It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims," Hasan said in the presentation.
Under a slide titled "Comments," he wrote: "If Muslim groups can convince Muslims that they are fighting for God against injustices of the 'infidels'; ie: enemies of Islam, then Muslims can become a potent adversary ie: suicide bombing, etc." [sic] The last bullet point on that page reads simply: "We love death more then [sic] you love life!"
AND THE MILITARY STILL LET THIS GUY STAY IN THE SERVICE!!????
They are just as responsible for those deaths and that's why he will only get life!
What other choice is there? Take life and yours has to be taken. There is no debate here. Caught in the act, stopped by being shot, it should have been finished there.
I think he will be found guilty and yes, get the death penalty, especially because he will be tried by the military...
Nita
The military since WWII has only rarely sentenced people to death, and has executed even fewer.
