Is Major Dr. Hasan's Jihadi Imam Toast?

Here's hoping. After all, he's the "cleric" who gave his thumbs up to the Fort Hood slaughter, according to CNN:

...Al-Awlaki said he met Hasan nine years ago while serving as an imam at a mosque in the Washington, D.C. area. He said the shooting happened about a year from the time the suspect made the inquiry.

Hasan, a U.S.-born citizen of Palestinian descent, has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder, making him eligible for the death penalty. Retired Army Col. John Galligan, Hasan's civilian attorney, has said his client is considering pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.

"A person can't be found guilty if at the time of the alleged defense, they lacked the mental capacity to be able to commit those offenses," Galligan said.

Al-Awlaki said he lauded the Fort Hood attack because it was aimed at troops, whom he accused of fighting an unjust war against Islam.

"It is a military target inside America and there is no dispute over that," he said. "Also, these military personnel are not ordinary; they were trained and ready to fight and kill oppressed Muslims and commit crimes in Afghanistan."

Despite his approval, Al-Awlaki said his role was only limited to Hasan's thought process, adding that he'd "be honored if I had a bigger role."

I'd say his "role" was plenty big.
