Cost of Jailing Fort Hood Shooter: About $548K So Far

AP Taxpayers have spent more than half a million dollars on keeping the Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage behind bars, according to documents obtained by NBC 5 DFW. Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is charged with killing 13 people and injuring dozens of others, is being held in the Bell County Jail in Central Texas. Most of that cost -- about $472,000 -- is for security and nearly $76,000 is for housing and meals. The U.S. Department of Defense pays for all that while still paying Hasan's salary.

I wish the armed forces had let major Nidal Hasan bail out of service when the man made his request: I think it is very dangerous and very unreasonable to recruit non-nationals for military services, since there is always the possibility a non-national would find it very difficult to fight against people of his/her land of origin.
