Retired US generals call on Pentagon to cancel 'barbaric' execution livestream

Seventy-two retired US generals and admirals urged the Pentagon to cancel plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, arguing it would be a "barbaric abuse of authority" and turn him into a martyr. While President Trump approved the plan, a final decision on the December 3 execution livestream, which would be the first public execution in the US in nearly a century, has not yet been made.
