This was a terrorist attack on America by a U.S. soldier.
In a saner country in a saner time, "Major" Hassan would be immediately tried for treason and face a firing squad.

This is ridiculous.
Obama labels as "extremists" those who simply want the Constitution upheld and freedom preserved -- extremists? -- then in the next breath tells us to reserve judgment on what happened at Ft. Hood?
Who ALWAYS gets the benefit of his doubt? Whose side are these people really on?
I am so outraged..I just saw this on Drudge.
Just held the trial here...guilty on all counts and specifications...no appeal...off to gallows now.
The word “duh” comes to mind.
It will never happen as long as Pres__ent Zero is CIC.
No firing squad for traitors.
He should be hanged - by a very inept hangsman.
got news for you .. it wouldn’t have happened with GW either.
I would prefer if the Judge said “ You are to be taken from this place, to a place of execution, and there you are to be hanged by the neck until you are dead”.....
Then this will be his WATERLOO. . . . . .
It’s racism to mention his religion.../s
HELL TO THE CHIEF! ! ! ! !& THE PERP. . .
HELL TO THE CHIEF! ! ! ! !& THE PERP. . .
Good point... you’re probably right.
My dad (former Marine pilot in Vietnam) said that firing squads are for soldiers - this guy was a criminal, should be hanged as one.
Public hanging at the main gate to the base where he killed American soldiers on US soil.
TV coverage mandatory.
In prime time.
SHOULD.
Won’t.
Tell y'all what I suspect. The sucker's going to get life, insodoing bleed the taxpayer slowly over umpteen number of years thereby finishing the job the monster started.
Y'know there's an irony to compassion, and it's the polar opposite of justice.
The American people themselves bear some responsibility for the security risks we now face. They evidently forgot 9/11 and elected as their CINC a Muslim raised radical leftist. The buck stops with we the people. Now we have a politically correct military establishment that couldn’t detect an Al Qaeda sleeper cell staring at it from one of its own military bases.
While he is undoubtedly guilty of treason, I don’t see how the penalty for treason is any more severe than that for mass murder.
