Galligan questioned whether Hasan could get a fair trial in either criminal or military court, given President Barack Obama's planned visit to the base on Tuesday and public comments by the post commander, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone.

"You've got his commander in chief showing up tomorrow," Galligan said. "That same kind of publicity naturally creates an issue as to whether you find a fair and impartial forum, whether that's in the military or even if it were in a federal forum."

Yeah, right -- try Hasan at the Hague.

And the issue of Obama "showing up?"  Anyone who thinks he will prejudice a trial against a murderous Muslim is delusional. He'll show up -- and that's about it.

Ah, laying the foundation for his "unlawful command influence" appeal. Smarmy, but not at all unpredictable. I listened to Cone's remarks, he was smart - and I'm sure he was coached by JAG staff - and he didn't say anything inappropriate.
