Well despite the sham aspect of it all, these goons never cease to amaze us do they ? Major Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 soldiers in cold blood, at Fort Hood, Texas 2 years ago, shooting them point black, and wounding 32 others (and shouting "Allah Akbar at the time) is asking for leniency. Hasan's lawyer has requested a life sentence for this dirtbag, who committed the worst act of jihadist terrorism against America since 9/11.
Two Army colonels have recommended the death sentence for Hasan, and now his lawyer is trying to wiggle out of it with an insanity defense. My recommendation is the same as theirs except that I would recommend it be carried out similar to how Hasan executed those soldiers. In a firing squad.
Since not all the soldiers died instantly, but instead painfully, slowly died of their wounds, Hasan should get the same.
Actually, Hasan ought to be executed 13 times for all the troops he killed. Since that's impossible, at least the punishment ought to fit the crime as much as can be. Firing squad shooters ! Aim for the legs. Let this vermin die as his victims did - no less. Simple justice although only partial.
One thing is paramount. In no way should Hasan be granted life imprisonment.
That would allow 4 reprehensible/intolerable things to happen :
1. It would send a message to upcoming jihadist killers that they can go so far as to kill 13 US troops (and wound 32 other) right on a US Army base, and continue to live after it.
2. It would be a severe injustice to all the victims of this massacre.
3. It would give Hasan a chance to spew his Islamist propaganda to fellow prisoners to make Muslims and jihadists out of them (only to have them then go out into society and kill "infidels".)
4. It would give Hasan the chance to kill again, inside the prison, and/or to help arrange killings outside the prison.
The death penalty decision for Hasan now rests with Fort Hood's commander, Lt. General Donald Campbell. General Campbell should take the advice of his colonels and get rid of this cancer ASAP. Anything less would be the height of irresponsibility, and if anyone is harmed by Hasan in the future (if he got life), it would be because Hasan wasn't executed, as he should have been - ASAP.
