KILLEEN, Tex. — Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people, told a judge on Tuesday that he believed he was defending the lives of the Taliban leadership in Afghanistan from American military personnel when he went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood here in November 2009.
Major Hasan’s remarks were the first public explanation about the motive for one of the deadliest mass shootings at an American military base. His comments came a day after the judge granted his request to release his court-appointed military lawyers so that he could represent himself.
On Monday, one of Major Hasan’s first legal maneuvers had been to ask the judge, Col. Tara A. Osborn, for a three-month delay [....]
My question: Does this not mean he is a self-admitted enemy combatant?
Comments
Deja vus: the Colin Ferguson trial.
As the article says the judge granted his request to release his court-appointed military lawyers so that he could represent himself and His comments, delivered in a soft, matter-of-fact tone, stunned many in the courtroom and Experts in military law called his theory ludicrous.
