IF the reporter was correct, and the San Antonio office of the FBI does have jurisdiction, then would that not mean that this is a TERRORISM investigation?

Early on, I'm pretty sure I heard it explained that if it wasn't a case terrorism, then the FBI would have no further work, it would be strictly all military.

Now... does this mean that if the intubated paralyzed Dr. Hasan actually wakes up from his coma, that he will be tried in a civilian court of law in San Antonio, Texas?

I am not an attorney, but this looks like a straight forward Terrorism case.

Now think about this. Both Civilians and military were killed. The civilians were under contract with the military from what I have heard.

As far as the civilian deaths are concerned, that could very well qualify for the case to be tried in a Civilian Court. In Texas, I can predict the outcome of that type of trial.

Normally Federal trials with death penalty convictions take longer than it does in Texas. But that is not always the case, case in point McVeigh. That was a relatively short time between conviction and execution.

Answer: I simply do not know.

No...I don't believe so.

This islamic, muslim terrorist is a member of the active duty military; he committed premeditated murder while on a military post/base; he committed an act of religious terrorism.

The civilian police forces on a military post are there as "invitees" of the military. While on that post, they are subject to military law and rules. This applies to all civilians working on or visiting a military establishment.

This islamic, muslim terrorist US Army active duty major will be tried, convicted and hopefully executed by firing squad by military courts and law.

That is...unless our islamic, muslim in chief commutes his fellow muslim's death sentence.
