There are plenty of folks who are willing to drag his sorry butt to the gallows.

I just saw this article by Mark Steyn and found it interesting. Apparently, on the day of the shootings, Hasan chose a style of dress that leaves little doubt as to his motive. I haven't pasted the whole article here due to its length, but here's a critical portion (Preceded by the link):
Mark Steyn
..."Diversity" is one of those words designed to absolve you of the need to think. Likewise, a belief in "multiculturalism" doesn't require you to know anything at all about other cultures, just to feel generally warm and fluffy about them. Heading out from my hotel room the other day, I caught a glimpse of that 7-Eleven video showing Major Hasan wearing "Muslim" garb to buy a coffee on the morning of his murderous rampage. And it wasn't until I was in the taxi cab that something odd struck me: He is an American of Arab descent. But he was wearing Pakistani dress — that's to say, a "Punjabi suit," as they call it in Britain, or the "shalwar kameez," to give it its South Asian name. For all the hundreds of talking heads droning on about "diversity" across the TV networks, it was only Tarek Fatah, writing in The Ottawa Citizen, who pointed out that no Arab males wear this get-up — with one exception: Those Arab men who got the jihad fever and went to Afghanistan to sign on with the Taliban and al-Qaida. In other words, Maj. Hasan's outfit symbolized the embrace of an explicit political identity entirely unconnected with his ethnic heritage...
It was also fairly depressing to read Steyn's last sentence in the piece: "What happened is not a "tragedy" but a national scandal, already fading from view."
I'll go out on a limb here and break my rule of not volunteering for anything. I volunteer to be on his firing squad.
