对福特胡德枪击案凶手尼达尔·哈桑执行死刑进行直播的决定，使美国社会陷入分裂。国防部长皮特·赫格塞思希望公开直播由行刑队执行的枪决，但总统唐纳德·特朗普则表示尚未就此做出决定，而共和党内部也普遍存在反对声音。尽管特朗普可能正在考虑此举的政治影响——毕竟11月3日的中期选举迫在眉睫——但一位专家警告称，直播哈桑的死刑可能会带来更为严重的后果。
The decision to livestream Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan's, execution has left the country divided. While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the public execution by firing squad to be broadcast, President Donald Trump has indicated he's not made a decision on it yet, amid widespread resistance from Republicans. While political ramifications might be on Trump's mind, given the looming November 3 midterm elections, an expert has warned of a far more dire possible consequence of broadcasting the Hasan execution.
前中央情报局官员内德·普莱斯在X平台上分享了他的看法。爱德华·“内德”·普莱斯于2006年至2017年间在CIA任职，主要负责侦测和阻止针对美国及其利益的恐怖袭击。毫无疑问，在辞去该情报机构职务并发表文章阐述自己为何宁愿离职也不愿为特朗普政府效力后，普莱斯曾引发广泛讨论。
Former CIA official Ned Price shared his thoughts on X. Edward ‘Ned’ Price, worked for the CIA from 2006 to 2017, and was focused on detecting and disrupting possible terrorist attacks against the US and its interests. To be sure, Price made waves after resigning from the spy agency and publishing an opinion on why he preferred to leave the job than work for the Donald Trump administration.
直播枪决、失败的致命注射，以及这些做法对美国死刑制度提出的法律质疑然而，普莱斯在追踪和挫败恐怖活动方面的专业背景，使他的观点在此案中具有重要意义，也让他的警告更加严肃。内德·普莱斯对尼达尔·哈桑死刑的看法普莱斯表示，公开执行死刑会美化暴力行为，这很可能催生“更多激进的狂热分子”。他在X上写道：“我们这些多年来一直致力于反恐工作的人可以肯定地说：最可靠的制造更多激进狂热分子的方法，就是美化暴力、推崇死亡崇拜，并制造一个为事业献身的殉道者。”
普莱斯还举了基地组织或伊斯兰国的例子，称它们的“战术最接近赫格塞思提议的现代版本”。
Livestreamed firing squad, failed lethal injections, and the legal questions they raise for US death penaltiesHowever, Price's expertise in tracking and disrupting terrorist activities makes his voice relevant in this case, and makes the warning all the more serious. What Ned Price said about Nidal Hasan's executionPrice said that the glorification of violence, as the public execution would do, would likely create ‘more radicalized zealots’.“You can take it from those of us who’ve spent years working on terrorism: the surest way to spawn more radicalized zealots is to glorify violence, embrace a cult of death, and create a martyr for the cause,” he wrote on X. Price also shared examples of Al Qaeda or ISIS, saying their ‘tactics offer the closest modern-day approximation of Hegseth’s proposal.’“Either way, it’s hard to conjure a more vivid example of his trademark performative bravado, which routinely damages America’s image and, in this case, so ghoulishly leaves us more vulnerable,” Price added.
普莱斯补充道：“无论如何，很难再找到比这更生动的例子来体现他标志性的表演式虚张声势——这种行为经常损害美国的形象，而在此案中，更是以一种令人毛骨悚然的方式，使我们变得更加脆弱。”哈桑，一名前美国美国陆军少校兼精神科医生哈桑于2009年在得克萨斯州胡德堡实施大规模枪击事件，造成13人死亡——其中包括12名士兵和1名平民，另有32人受伤。
Hasan, a former U.S. Army Major and psychiatrist, carried out a mass shooting in Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, where he killed 13 people – including 12 soldiers and one civilian, and hurt 32 others.
他在遭到还击后身中枪弹，腰部以下瘫痪，目前依靠轮椅行动。哈桑的父母是巴勒斯坦移民，他还有兄弟姐妹。众议院外交事务委员会的民主党人指出，根据国际特赦组织的记录，2025年全球已记录到17起公开处决，其中6起发生在阿富汗，11起发生在伊朗。副总统JD·范斯也表示，如果哈桑的处决真的发生，他也不会观看直播。
He's now in a wheelchair after he was shot back and was paralyzed from waist down. Hasan's parents were Palestinian immigrants, and he has siblings as well. The House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems have noted that as per Amnesty International, there have been 17 public executions documented worldwide in 2025, of which 6 were in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran. Vice President JD Vance also said he would not be watching the broadcast of Hasan's execution, were it to take place.
特朗普就哈桑的处决发表言论与此同时，特朗普在周五接受记者采访时就哈桑处决是否直播一事表示：“我们正在对此做出决定。”他还补充道：“但他一定会被处决，而且会通过枪决的方式。我其实并不在意他如何被处决，只要他被处决就行。我认为死刑对他来说是一种非常恰当的结局。”（综合彭博社报道）
What Trump said about Hasan's executionTrump, meanwhile, said “We’re making a determination about that,” speaking to reporters on Friday about Hasan's execution being broadcast. “But he will be killed. He will be through firing squad. I really don’t care how he goes, as long as he goes, and I think that the death penalty is a very worthy way of going for him,” the president added.
