He should have been sent to Levenworth the first time he spoke out about the mission, made sidicious statements and started playing games about deploying. He certainly should have been disciplined the first time he was caught prosthetising to injured combat troops at Walter Reed.
Let's see - his history included taking off to pray multiple times each day, he would NOT allow women in his presence (gee, could that possibly be an issue in a hospital setting, military or otherwise?), and then he complained that he was being harassed for not doing anything to act like he wanted to be in the military?
There is much, much more to this clown's story. What baffles me is why he was still in a position to cause any harm, including psychological, to our military troopers. His associations, his history, his job performance, his insistence on having the Army conform to his wishes, all indicate that he should have been put out long ago.
Now, who were the other shooters?

Will it be considered a time of war ( carry the death penalty only in time of war.) ???? The military soliders at Fort Hood was getting prepared to go to war was'n't they ? Or does this mean in a combative war when on a mission ?
But the state of Texas executes 20th inmate this year 2009. Maybe this will have a impact on this case at Fort Hood, Texas..
Just curious, maybe someone else has more knowledge than I do.....
** Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 15 offenses can be punishable by death, though many of these crimes -- such as desertion or disobeying a superior commissioned officer's orders -- The "convening authority" -- a high-ranking commanding officer who decides to bring the case to trial -- chooses whether the government will seek a death sentence.
If the case is referred capitally, the defendant cannot choose a bench [judge only] trial; rather, the case must be tried before a panel of at least five military members (DPIC note: now 12 members are required on the panel for a capital case (RCM 501(a)).The Uniform Code of Military Justice also precludes the defendant in a capital case from pleading guilty. Thus, every military death penalty case is resolved by trial before a panel of servicemembers.**

I don't doubt this for a moment.Thanks in large part to the weakening of our defensive efforts under the new administration, there will be further attacks against this country's population, perhaps even worse than those of 9/11.
