FORT HOOD, Texas (TheBlaze/AP) — A military judge is to decide if a terrorism expert will testify during the trial of the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Maj. Nidal Hasan’s defense team is trying to stop Evan Kohlmann from testifying at the court-martial starting in less than two weeks. They are questioning the methods Kohlmann used in his study of the case in which he concluded that Hasan is a homegrown terrorist.
Kohlmann is expected to be questioned during a pretrial hearing Thursday. He has testified for the government in more than two dozen terrorism cases.
If he were to testify, it would be a detour from the government’s official position in the past, which is that the shooting was an act of “workplace violence” not terrorism.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 shootings at the Texas Army post.
Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted.

Posted on August 18, 2012 at 7:57pmGood thought, but I’d go a little further. Have some Rangers forcibly shave him with a bayonet. If they slip up, so be it. I hate the fact that we have to pay for a trial when the outcome is indisputable anyways. Move on to the execution phase, and quit wasting time and money. I can’t believe tax dollars and American resources were used to keep the pos alive to begin with. He‘s a freakin’ TRAITOR people. He’s so Muslim: Give him a fitting Muslim execution e.g., beheading, stoning, or hanging (it was good enough for Saddamned).
Bathe him in pig’s blood & put him in the ground.
Quit bending over backwards for these people. I realize our now terrorist tolerant government considers his actions just an average work place incident, but then, I’m not stupid enough to believe much of anything they say.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 8:57amThe government is too cowardly to admit that this was a case of Islamic terrorism. To do so would be conformation that Islam has declared war on us and we MUST return the favor.
Report Post »Islam is a political-military cult, NOT a religion. They believe everyone in the world must “submit” to Islamic rule or die. Their “holy book” teaches that lying to “infidels” is a valid tactic to gain advantage for their cause.
Radical Muslims = Those honest about the goals of their cult
Moderate Muslims = LIARS
The centuries-old attempt by Muslims to force the entire world to “submit” has been held back by the conflict between Shia and Sunni. Next week in Mecca, King Abdullah and Ambillycartersdad will meet to discuss “Islamic unity.” If both branches of the cult unite, the rest of the world (Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs and even atheists) must work together to finally deal with the problem.

Posted on August 9, 2012 at 10:21amThe Muslims feel it is their religious obligation, to dominate the world with their theocracy. This guy was acting from his religious convictions that say it is ok to kill to achieve these ends. If we don’t realize that this was not some crazy person losing it at work, and start to understand that his actions are part of a larger group of people who see it as their duty to kill all people who are not Muslim, we are the beggers of our own demise.
