72名美国退休将领、海军将领和高级军官联署公开信,呼吁五角大楼取消计划于12月3日直播陆军精神科医生尼达尔·哈桑处决的方案1。这些退役高级军事官员包括45名将军、12名海军将领及多名前法官倡导者,他们认为此举违反美国宪法关于禁止残忍刑罚的规定,并可能将罪犯变成烈士1。
哈桑曾在2009年胡德堡军事基地枪击事件中射杀13名美国士兵,这是美国军事基地历史上最严重的非战斗攻击1。若该直播计划最终实施,这将成为美国近一个世纪来首次公开处决1。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯上周宣布了这一计划1。尽管特朗普总统表示他"绝对"赞成直播方案,但截至周二政府尚未做出最终决定1。
参与联署的退役军官中包括曾领导阿布格莱布监狱虐囚调查的退休少将托尼·塔古巴,以及曾在关塔那摩湾拘留中心担任检察官的退休空军上校莫·戴维斯1。
Seventy-two retired American generals, admirals, and senior military officers have signed an open letter urging the Pentagon to cancel a planned livestream of Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan's execution by firing squad scheduled for December 3 1. The retired military leaders, including 45 generals, 12 admirals, and several former legal advocates, argue that broadcasting the execution violates the constitutional prohibition against cruel punishment and risks transforming the condemned into a martyr 1.
Hasan was convicted in connection with a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood military base in which he killed 13 American soldiers, marking the deadliest non-combat attack in U.S. military base history 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the livestream plan last week 1. While President Trump has stated he is "absolutely" in favor of the broadcast plan, no final decision has been made as of Tuesday 1. If the livestream proceeds, it would mark the first public execution in the United States in nearly a century 1. Among the signatories are retired Major General Tony Taguba, who led an investigation into prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib, and retired Air Force Colonel Morris Davis, who served as a prosecutor at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility 1.
