Hasan

Maj. Nidal Hasan, showed no reaction after being found guilty last week by a military jury.  He has admitted that he opened fire on unarmed soldiers at the sprawling Texas military base in Fort Hood.  Many others were wounded in the November 2009 attack.  He represented himself during the 14-day trial, but didn't call any witnesses or testify in his own defense. He also questioned just three of prosecutors' nearly 90 witnesses. Hasan, has spent the last four years telling the military, judges and journalists: that the killing of American soldiers preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan was necessary to protect Muslim insurgents.
No American soldier has been executed since 1961 and the U.S. president must eventually approve a military death sentence..
