The Associated Press<\/a> reports that Fort Hood murdered, Nidal Hasan’s case to save his beard will be heard by an appeals court today;<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals at Fort Belvoir in Virginia will hear oral arguments. The court also will hear from government attorneys who have said forcibly shaving Hasan would not violate his religious rights, and that the judge has the authority to enforce the Army rule prohibiting beards<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Hasan would not be the first military defendant forcibly shaved. The Army has done it to five inmates since 2005, including one person who was forcibly shaved twice, according to the Army’s Office of the Chief of Staff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The defense is also asking that the judge be removed from his position for exceeding his authority by ordering that Hasan be forcibly shaved, and while they’re at it, they want the six counts of contempt of court vacated for each time Hasan refused to shave his fur. All the appeals court had to do was refuse to hear the case, which is specious in the first place, and we’d have through with all of this bullshit. But, no one has ever accused Big Army of doing the right thing in the first place, have they?<\/p>\n

Army prosecutors claim that Hasan grew the beard just before the trial was to start, so that witnesses would not be able to identify him in court.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that would be the first time a jihadist did something sneaky, isn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
