Hegseth church allies backed 'public' execution of Fort Hood shooter

Original: Hegseth church allies backed plan for 'public' execution of Fort Hood shooter

Allies of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth linked to his church network supported a proposal to carry out the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan in public, reportedly with plans for it to be broadcast. The plan has drawn scrutiny over the church's influence in defence circles and the ethics of a publicly streamed execution, reviving debate over how Hasan's long-stalled death sentence should be carried out.

Why now: New reporting on the religious network around a senior US defence official has raised fresh concerns about church influence in government.
