I&#8217;m pretty sure there&#8217;s no lawyer on the planet who would let him try his &#8220;defense of others&#8221; defense that he told the judge about yesterday, because it pretty much goes against common sense. This administration has done it&#8217;s level best to keep Hasan from being associated with terrorism and that&#8217;s all for naught at this point.

Nidal Hasan announced the revelation Tuesday as he asked the court for a delay in his trial so he could prepare a new \u201cin defense of others\u201d legal strategy.<\/p>\n<p>When Judge Col.

Honestly, though, I&#8217;m a little upset that the judge is going to let him confront his accusers. Making them answer is questions will probably make them relive the horror of that day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood murderer, reveals why he wanted to dump his own lawyers &hellip; <a title=\"Hasan and his &#8220;defense of others&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36041\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Hasan and his &#8220;defense of others&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
