Its only been 3 years, typical prisoners waiting for execution spend something like 10-12 years on death row as an average.

Part of that is the whole process of appeals ect and so on, and by the time someone is executed, they have had multiple opportunities and ample time to appeal the process. Personally, im in favor of this approach, as it allows time to make absolutely sure someone is guilty of a crime before the state can execute him.

Of course Major Hasan is under military control being a serving officer at the time of his crime, so it will be interesting to see what he can do, and of course, under military law, he must be clean shaven, so if he won't do it, it will be done for him.

Don't worry, he'll be punished for his crimes after due process is followed, no question of his guilt. However, I don't think we should be jumping all over ourselves to torture and whatnot. That makes us no better than the hate mongering terrorists in the first place, we are above that kind of crap.

The stability of our system comes from adherence to due process of law. He will be put to death eventually, after the process comes to its full completion of military requirements. Let him stew with the hangman just outside the door, I have no problem with that.
