For some reason, this kind of surprises me.....but it's the best news I've heard in quite some time.

They're only $.32???? Heck, put me down for a dozen!!!!

Lets hope that the White House does not get involved. I agree that this crime deserves it. It is also a sad testament that his superiors chose not to remove this fanatic from the service. It only proves that PC is alive and well in the service. Yet another reason that I will likely retire before the end of the year.

The Obama White House is very unlikely to get involved.

The time it will take to go through the judicial process with automatic appeals etc. will mean some future President in about 2050 could involve himself.

Lots of questions have been raised by this horrible event. For me the real criminals are the officers in charge of Maj Hassan, who completely failed in their duty, their defence appears to be that "he was a doctor, so not part of the Army" - horsesh!!. Soldier first, specialisation second.

The ones in charge of Hassan couldn't really say anything. If they did, Hassan would keep his job and they would be writing up their resumes.

It is a shame that his CofC was too scared of political correctness to do the right thing. Ultimately his victims paid the price. I guarantee that had his CofC done the right thing, Hassan would have gotten some bleeding heart lawyer to file a suit for him, and the quoted comment above would have become a reality.

I hope they do give that SOB the death penalty.

I have a hard time with the idea of sentencing someone the death penalty. But in this case, castrate the bastard with a bottle of battery acid.

IMO.
