‘How about the asshole who fragged the officers tent just before the Iraq war.I’m still waiting to hear the outcome to that.’
Soldier Sentenced to Death for Iraq War Murder
A 15-member military jury sentenced Sgt. Hasan Akbar to death for killing 2 U.S. military officers in Kuwait in 2003 during the opening days of the Iraq invasion. At his sentencing, Akbar said, “I want to apologize for the attack that occurred. I felt that my life was in jeopardy, and I had no other options. I also want to ask you for forgiveness.” He is the first American since the Vietnam era to be prosecuted for murdering a fellow soldier in wartime. (N.Y. Times, April 29, 2005 (AP)).
No one has been executed under the military’s death penalty since 1961. There are 7 other soldiers facing possible execution, including two who have had their death sentences reversed on appeal. Seven of the eight (87%) soldiers now on death row are members of racial minorities.

What is the BIG RUSH to charge and execute this guy? Muslim Major Hassan killed many U S soldiers and others in cold blood over 3 years ago BUT to trial yet. He is drawing full pay. Living high on the hog (or whatever Muslims eat). Obama is so afraid of Crazy Uncle Karzai.
Cheers,
