QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should the U.S. military livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan?

Some in the Trump administration have floated the idea of streaming video of the execution of Nidal Hasan live online.

Hasan is the former Army major who was sentenced to death by firing squad for the 2009 killing of 13 people at Ft. Hood in Texas.

The idea of publicly broadcasting an execution, albeit online, has drawn strong reactions. Even House Speaker Mike Johnson, a staunch Trump supporter, urged caution.
