The delay was not due to any stalling-tactics or procedural evasions by Hassan. He has actually been utterly candid and forthright in proclaiming what he did and why. The reasons that this prosecution took longer (from the date of the killings to the date of conviction) than America's involvement in World War II is completely and solely the result of the dysfunctionality of our modern judicial-system, which has obviously infected the military after being contained in the civilian courts for a couple of generations.

Very good point. Right on the money.

Right now if he gets life, after trial, nothing changes. His existence does not change. If he wants to die, let him die by firing squad. And do not tell him when it is going to happen.

He wants to be a martyr and you want to help him accomplish that?

Dead is dead, the sooner the better. As for his aspirations, I gladly would rip his beating heart out of his chest and feed it to the pigs, bury him in pig **** in an unmarked grave. Alive he remains a thumb in the eye.

My wish is that he not be executed, but that he be detained and prevented from writing letters, receiving visitors, giving interviews, communicating with other prisoners, etc.

Breaking rocks would be better but hard to do from a wheelchair.
