"Workplace violence"

Archer? You answer yes and no questions as well as the IRS. I wasn't asking if the Army thought this was workplace violence we already know that. I was asking if you were able to charge Major Nidal what would you charge him with?

That isn't exactly what you asked. But since I do not have enough information on this I wouldn't make a determination on what he should be charged with.... Only that he should be put away for a very long time.

But you do have enough information to determine that he "should be put away for a very long time?" Interesting.

We are going to put you away because you deserve it. Won't bother charging you with a crime.

David Cameron knows what a terrorist is and isn't afraid to say the words.

The London hatchet job. Very wierd! A man is getting hacked to death and people stand there recording it and the police watch while waiting for the armed police to show up.
Isn't anyone worrying about being the next victim?

Interesting update Blazer, is it too late for the military to change the charges to terrorism and treason? And it does look like the Major, by representing himself, is looking to make this case a propaganda piece for Islamic militants.

Time to ship him off to Gitmo to deny him that platform?

He cannot be charged with treason for these reasons:

1. He didn't wage war against his country (the United States of America)
2. He didn't purposely aid our enemies.
3. This act wasn't committed during a time of war.

The charges levied against Major Hasan could be varied from Failure to follow an order to Murder to Manslaughter to Assault to (and I'd bet this one'll be added to whatever he's charged with) Conduct Unbecoming of an Officer and a Gentleman. I counted eight different Articles of the UCMJ he could be charged with, and if he's charge with Murder (most likely) it will be for each person that died...attempted murder for each person that was injured.

This case is taking an extraordinarily long time to get to Court-Martial...the military is making sure all their ducks are lined up so this guy, at a minimum, goes to prison for a long, long, long time.

As he's being prosecuted by the military under a Court-Martial, there is no shipping him anywhere...he's a U.S. citizen and a member of the military, so he'll get his day or days in court.

In my 20 years of service, I only know of two court-martials where the individual was found not guilty. And I only know of one court-martial where the individual was found guilty, served his sentence, and was not discharged.

He didn't purposely aid our enemies? He says he did. He killed those American soldiers to aid the Taliban.

Isn't Bradley Manning being charged with treason, just for divulging secrets?
