FORT HOOD CASE RETURNS TO SPOTLIGHT! EXECUTION ORDER STIRS DEBATE
A presidential execution authorization revives attention on the 2009 Fort Hood attack.
President Trump approved a firing-squad execution for Nidal Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood attack. The order has renewed scrutiny of military justice and capital punishment. Reporting on the order does not establish that an execution has already occurred.
Why it matters: This developing story has implications for Texans and the nation. Facts may change as new reporting emerges.
And one more thing… If Washington had a weather forecast, it would probably call for a 100 percent chance of political thunder.
