This’ll irritate you. From his defense attorney…

Hasan’s lead attorney, John Galligan, had urged the commanding general not to seek the death penalty, saying such cases were more costly, time-consuming and restrictive.

If Galligan’s name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe you missed this a while back…

Galligan’s not such a bad guy, but let’s face it – if you’re talking about pinching pennies on a trial for the jihadist butcher of Ft. Hood, that’s another way of saying your case is merde.

Let’s take a poll – how many folks are cool with spending whatever it takes to fry this guy? Count me in.
