To convict on terror charges would require a higher burden of proof around the conspiracy, motivation etc...Certainly with the Hassan case he appears to have gone a bit nutty and while there's communication with an al Qaeda operative there doesn't appear to be evidence his actions were necessarily directed.
Simply put, bringing Hassan up on terror charges would give him a chance to muddy the waters and escape a conviction or harsher charges.
As it is being prosecuted, the case should be open and shut.
It's funny, you like to accuse the left of acting on emotion rather than facts and rational thought.
Yet this is what you do all the time.

Earlier in this thread, you said Obama never misled anyone. I posted compelling evidence to the contrary. Can you respond, please?
