We may have to wait a long time for Major Hasan to be convicted and sentenced, and then for the appeals to end. If justice prevails, the wait will have been worth it. If it does not, there is something seriously wrong with the manner in which a very good system of justice is now administered.

He gets to keep his beard?

Why doesn’t he get to keep his hair?

Either way I’d be satisfied to see his head on fence post....

They should’ve just shot many more times to make sure he didn’t live.

Is it any wonder that we can no longer win a war?

Now you know why Shakespear said (from the play Henry lV) “ First thing we do, is kill all the lawyers. “

I’m trying to figure out if the military “justice” system is this easily played by any mass murderer or only if the murderer’s a haji?

I’m cool with it. Use his refusal to shave as evidence of his devotion to the most radical sect of Islam. Use the stupid beard as evidence to help execute him.

Close off all access to Ft. Hood, drop Mr. Hasan in the middle of Ft. Hood with the stipulation that if he can escape, he gets to live. That's judgment by ones peers.

Schedule a good old fashioned muzzy soccer game in his honor about 5 minutes after the drop off. That or drop him on the north side where the tanks practice.

It need not, and should not, be used explicitly by the prosecution. If the judge permitted that it could later be held on appeal to be reversible error.

I have not reviewed the panel of officers (all holding the rank of Major or above) who will eventually decide Major Hasan's guilt or innocence and, assuming the former, the punishment to be imposed (both, of course, subject to review by the convening authority and then appeal). However, Fort Hood is an Armor base and it seems likely that many on the panel are in the Armor branch, a combat branch. It also seems likely that most have been in the Army and probably in Armor for at least fifteen years. They are more likely than non-combat branch officers to take offense not only at Major Hasan's crime but at his overt efforts to mock the military and therefore to mock them.

They don't need to be told about what they have seen with their own eyes.

Hasan’s playing the system...and winning. I hope he chokes to death and saves the taxpayers a whole lot of money and time.

The beard is a distraction. The gov is all too happy to delay this travesty. The longer they delay, the more people forget what the bearded savage did.

The fact that they are trying him on “Work Place Violence” pretty much means his punishment will be less than if they tried him on a domestic terrorist charge. Such as what Timothy McVeigh was tried on.

Keep the beard. It makes him look more like a terrorist jihadist.

Bearded savages are lower than bacteria that eat dead dung beetles.

The important thing is to give him a fair trial where all of the relevant and clearly admissible evidence is considered, for the court to decide on his guilt or innocence and, if found guilty, to impose appropriate punishment.

But, how can that be? I suspect a ruling will come down that a military court has no authority over him because he is muslim, and therefor not subject to the UCMJ.
