Jihad Watch - The ridiculous charade of this trial continues, as Hasan makes a mockery of the government's claim that his murders were not jihad but "workplace violence." "Hasan asks jurors about Taliban, Islam," by Philip Jankowski for the Killeen Daily Herald, July 11:
FORT HOOD — Maj. Nidal Hasan questioned jurors’ opinions on the Taliban, Sharia and Islam in general Wednesday during the second day of jury selection for his capital murder trial.
The court dismissed four potential jurors based on their answers to questions from Hasan and prosecutors. Hasan did not challenge the inclusion of any of the nine officers questioned Wednesday and did not oppose exclusions proposed by the government.
The dismissals left 10 remaining jurors, three below the total required to seat a jury. The government will bring in six more potential panel members Monday and resume the selection process. Testimony remains set to begin Aug. 6.
Each potential juror may be questioned individually because Hasan may be executed if found guilty. He is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. More
