AUSTIN, Texas — A military judge delayed a pretrial hearing Friday after Maj. Nidal Hasan, accused in the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, appeared in a military courtroom sporting a full beard that his attorneys said he grew for religious reasons.
Col. Gregory Gross called the beard, which violated Army grooming regulations, a disruption to court proceedings and halted the hearing, Fort Hood officials said. Gross said a new hearing would be held soon – possibly next week – and that Hasan would have to watch proceedings outside the courtroom on closed-circuit television unless he complied with an order to “appear with proper military grooming standards,” Fort Hood officials said.

Good. Let him stay out. Military courts won’t pander in this case.
Kick that can down the road again. The US military are frightened to death to open this trial. Pathetic, but they are just a reflection of national leadership.
