[Non-Sequitur]

Almost a year gone by, and this is to see if there should be a hearing?

An Article 32 hearing is roughly the military version of a grand jury indictment. It's a formality to ensure there is enough evidence to justify a court martial. There is absolutely no doubt on what the findings will be; this will go to trial. As to the length of time, this is a capital crime. When convicted Hasan will be sentenced to death. The JAG is going to take all the time needed to dot their i's and cross their t's and eliminate the chance of a conviction being overturned on appeal. They will also give the defense all the time they need to prepare. At the end of the day the outcome isn't in any doubt.

Anything short of a firing squad is unsatisfactory

They do lethal injection now, but the outcome is the same. Eventually. Three of the seven on the military death row have been there since 1989.
