How far will we let this murdering terrorist go?

 

I don't know about you, but I am sick to death of the mollycoddling going on with Nidal Hasan who went on a shooting rampage at Ft. Hood in the name of Allah.

 

Why is he still being paid his salary? Why is he allowed to keep his beard despite the regulation that says he may not? Why is he not called what he is -- a terrorist -- so that his victims can get the benefits due them? Isn't it ironic that we're paying him, but we're not paying his victims?

 

And now the latest absurdity -- he is being allowed to represent himself which means that we must pay for him to have an office and a staff. And the defense he plans to use? He was protecting others when he shot all those people, because his victims posed an "imminent danger to Taliban fighters."

 

In any sane society, that defense is called aiding and abetting the enemy. Alas, our society no longer qualifies as sane.

 

On the other hand, maybe we should let him prove that he was protecting the Taliban and find him "not guilty" of murder and attempted murder. Instead we can find that he convicted himself of treason. Then we can hang him for a crime to which he confessed.
