Does anyone actually believe this President would allow Hasan to be put to death? I think not, as he is a fellow Muslim.

Obama cannot afford to admit that a terrorist attack happened under his watch because that will confirm that his soft approach to Islamic Jihadists worked against him and the country. And also, it reminds everyone and reinforces the fact that Bush kept us safe all those years after 9/11, despite all the horrible things Obama said about Bush and blamed on Bush.

It tracks with my courtmartial experience. (not as a defendant) Chuck; I fail to see what relevance General Pershing has to the Ft Hood incident. At best it is just an interesting sidenote. Maj Hasan will be tried by General Courtmartial at Ft Hood Texas. He is not being transfered to NYC and there is no legal mechanism that I'm aware of that would allow the AG or the President to do that. The quotation at the beginning of the article is from "a writing exercise" by Richard Fernandez AKA Wretchard of Belmone Club fame. President Obama never said those words and has not said or done anything that would endanger the assumption of innocence of Maj Hazan. Again, Dan Miller has written an excellent article that is full of facts. But it needs to be read and understood before jumping to conclusions. Good article. It tracks with my courtmartial experience. (not as a defendant)

That's what didn't make any sense about Jeff's statement. Upon further inspection, I take it that the promotion from Captain to Brigadier General was unrelated to the firing squad incident. That was what was confusing me. No, I mean he couldn’t possibly be promoted to Brigadier General if he was already a General. That’s what didn’t make any sense about Jeff’s statement.
