Nidal Hasan (I refuse to associate his name with a military rank)
murdered 13 soldiers and wounded over 30 others at Ft. Hood. He is being
allowed to defend himself at his trial. Many people are upset at the judge’s
decision to allow this. I am not and will explain why.
Any judge or lawyer will tell you that the worse defense
council in the world is yourself. Hasan says he is going to use "the
defense of others" as his defense. Well the others he is referring to are
Muslims in Afghanistan. The only Muslims in Afghanistan coming under U.S. fire
are combative members or combative supporters of the Taliban. So in other words
he is defending the Taliban. The Taliban are the enemy and he was an Army
officer at the time of the shootings. By shooting our soldiers to defend the
Taliban he is a traitor and committed treason. He is going to admit to treason,
in a court of law, as his defense. Treason during war time can carry the death
penalty.
I am not a lawyer but this seems pretty straight forward to
me. My words to Hasan, go for it. Use that defense. We'll execute you for
treason instead of murder. Same result.
