Pete Hegseth’s plan to livestream execution of Nidal Hasan puts US in poor company
Conservative commentator Pete Hegseth proposed televising the execution of former Army doctor Nidal Hasan, convicted for the 2009 Fort Wall shooting. Observers say such a public death penalty would align the United States with Iran and Afghanistan, the only countries still carrying out executions openly, while Saudi Arabia seems to have stopped the practice. The suggestion has raised ethical and diplomatic concerns.
