DEFENSE TEAM "HAS HAD MONTHS TO PREPARE"
IN WHEELCHAIR - A KNIT CAP ON HIS BALD HEAD

For nearly a year now, crazed killer, Maj. Nidal "Allahu Akbar" Hasan, has been drawing full pay and benefits as a major and Army doctor. The "horrible headshrinker" may get some more time to suck up over $6000 a month in Uncle Sam's greenbacks, if his attorney, LTC Kris Prippe, gets his way.
The field-grade attorney whined in court this week he "needed more time" to prepare his defense of the monster sitting nearby in a wheelchair, a knit cap pulled down to his ears, as if the psycho slayer sought to block out hearing about his evil crimes. The lead prosecutor, COL Mike Mulligan, was not amused. "We oppose any further delays," he said. "You've had plenty of time to prepare your case."
He's right. Hasan went on his maniacal rampage last November at Fort Hood, Tex., killing 13 persons (12 soldiers and one civilian). Nearly a year is more than sufficient to get ready for the preliminary hearing. Sources say the court-martial itself is expected to last several weeks. Many victims wounded in the fusillade of bullets are eager to get up on the witness stand and describe the terror they felt as Hasan blasted away at his innocent victims.
HOPEFULLY, REQUEST FOR DELAY WILL NOT BE APPROVED
A ruling on Prippe's request could come momentarily. Judge COL James L. Pohl has said as much. The Article 32 is purely prelude to the big show - the court martial. No way, can even the gutless and politically correct brass, (see our story on foolish Gen. Casey in RSB below), avoid a court-martial on this terroristic crime.
As far as we are concerned, the sooner this shameful shrink is put to death, the better. There are several staff members here at MilitaryCorruption.com who would like to participate in Hasan's execution. Too bad the Army can't dig up Florida's "Ole Sparky," the infamous electric chair that often malfunctioned and fried the chair's occupants like crispy critters.
Giving Hasan the death penalty would send a message "loud and clear" that we will NEVER tolerate such a bloodbath on one of our military bases again. Too bad we couldn't bust and court-martial the wimps and PC-officers who allowed Hasan to get as far as he did. They too, share in the guilt of the "Fort Hood Massacre."
