How many murder trials are delayed for five years? There are some very inconvenient political realities about Major Hasan that would embarrass the new gay friendly Obama military.

This is the real issue.

I understand the "innocent until proven guilty". But, I also remember something like "the right to a speedy trial".

Both the government and the defendant have been doing everything possible to delay this trial, because it's politically inconvenient.

The trial should have commenced within six months.

I can’t think of a single military case that has ever taken this long. Usually, you get 90 days to prepare for a case, and after it’s finished, there’s another 90 days of legal review.
