US Defense Secretary Wants Nidal Hasan’s Execution Broadcast Live

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pushing to broadcast the execution of Nidal Hasan live to the public. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that left 13 soldiers dead. The execution is scheduled for December 3, 2026, in Texas, marking the first time in over 60 years that the US military will carry out a death sentence. Legal experts note that broadcasting an execution is unprecedented in modern American history and raises significant legal and ethical questions. President Trump has approved the military's plan to proceed with the sentence.
