Johnson: Video of Hasan execution could be 'recruiting tool for future terrorists'
The Pentagon announced plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army major convicted in a 2009 Fort Hood shooting, which would be the first public execution broadcast in nearly a century. The decision has drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans in Congress, who say it resembles tactics used by terrorist organizations and authoritarian governments. Religious leaders have also debated the plan's moral implications. President Trump has privately expressed doubts about proceeding with the livestream.
