Army Charges Major Jihad

2009-12-03

The Army charged the Fort Hood shooting suspect with 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

These charges are added to the 13 premeditated murder charges filed against Maj. Nidal Hasan in the wake of the Nov. 5 shooting massacre at Fort Hood.

The Army said the attempted murder charges filed Wednesday were related to the 30 soldiers and two civilian police officers injured in the shooting at a soldier processing center on the central Texas post.

Hasan's attorney, John Galligan, said Wednesday the additional charges may not affect Hasan's punishment, if he is convicted, because premeditated murder carries the death penalty. Authorities haven't said whether they plan to seek the death penalty.

Unless the court-martial convicts him on a single charge of attempted premeditated murder, busts him, boots him on a dishonorable, and turns him over to the Texas court system...

#3 Hussein should be strung up like a rabid dog. He does not deserve the death of an honorable warrior.

#1 Just out of curiosity, what is the miltary form of execution for this crime? Still a firing squad or will they stretch a point and hang him?
I don't think the military has executed anyone since Pvt Slovik in WWII.
