WITN  | Greenville, NC  | News, Weather, Sports  Judge Bars Fort
Hood Shooting Suspect Because Of Beard  A judge has barred an
Army psychiatrist charged in a deadly shooting rampage at Fort
Hood in Texas from military court because he still has a beard.
Maj. Nidal Hasan was told Tuesday that he couldn't attend any
more hearings unless he shaves. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross,
initially warned Hasan that he was violating Army policy at a
hearing earlier this month.  Hasan was removed from court and
was to watch the rest of Tuesday's proceedings on closed-circuit
television from a nearby room.  Lead defense attorney Lt. Col.
Kris Poppe says Hasan grew the beard as a "deeply sincere"
expression of his Islamic faith and because he has a premonition
he will die soon.  Hasan faces the death penalty in the 2009
attack that killed 13 people in Texas.
