NBC 5 Investigates has learned the accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan receives extraordinary treatment in jail while victims of the attack argue they have been forgotten and mistreated by the U.S. Army.
While a prisoner awaiting trial, Hasan is ferried by helicopter nearly every day, complete with an additional helicopter escort and security detail, for the 20-mile journey between the Bell County Jail and Fort Hood, courtesy of the United States Army and American taxpayers.
The Army told NBC 5 Investigates the daily helicopter rides are necessary because the jail does not have the proper facilities for Hasan to work on his legal defense and transporting Hasan by car creates additional security concerns. Fort Hood does not have its own jail, so Hasan is being held at the Bell County Jail under a special Army contract.

I know. But the network TV ocean is cutthroat. The bigger city stations beg for ratings-grabbing stuff from their smaller-city stations, the network begs for ratings-grabbing stuff from their bigger-city stations. If a story like this (affiliate-generated, and thus pretty much free) gets spiked at the network level, they’re either completely bought, or incredibly stupid.
It is NBC, easily both
Well, no doubt about that. But since this story was generated from the ratings-rich Dallas market, they almost have to go national with it. If not, their competitors surely will, while offering them a cruel smile.
From the attack on Pearl Harbor to VJ day was 1347 days. The largest conflict in the history of mankind was won by the Allied forces in 1347 days.
Since Major Hasan murdered our servicemen in the name of Islam it has been 1368 days. We can take back 2/3 of the globe from mad men but we can’t bring to justice one single foot soldier of our current enemy.
Impeach, and then incarcerate Barrack Hussein Obama.
Heck, throw him in a 55 gallon drum and be done with it.
Now...
I’ll be interested to see who ordered this “Cadillac” treatment...and who is paying for it.
Your comment is just devastating. Really puts the current regime into stark perspective.
my personal feeling is that every single witness that this jackass calls should refuse to answer any of his questions. Yes, they will be held in contempt, and the judge will be in the awkward position of jailing American soldiers and their families for not answering to a terrorist.
Whats the worst that could happen? He could be acquitted, and then released. Lets see if he makes it to an airport. Dead man walking.
maybe this is the bombshell that is forcing the “ terrorist threat” hype right now.....hmmmmmmmm
And Bacon. Don’t forget to line it with bacon.
>>I’ll be interested to see who ordered this “Cadillac” treatment...and who is paying for it.
The _resident’s regime and you and me, who else?
Major Hassan was on the newly elected President Obama’s transition team.
Yes it is true, google it.
This guy should be shot with a potato gun stuffed full of flash frozen pork sharpened into pencil sticks.
Thanks!
Send story to Drudge....Let’s see what happens then.
Huge thread going on NBC DFW’s Facebook page about it right now
