US military archbishop urges Catholic soldiers to refuse involvement in Army firing squad execution
Archbishop Timothy Broglio urged Catholic soldiers to refuse firing squad duty in the planned execution of Nidal Hasan, calling the livestream barbaric.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets foreground Archbishop Timothy Broglio’s opposition to Catholics in the US Army taking part in the firing squad and both tie the remark to the planned Fort Hood execution. The South China Morning Post adds that the Pentagon is planning to live stream the execution and identifies Nidal Hasan in its extract, details not mentioned by Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera instead foregrounds Broglio’s view that the livestream plan is contrary to church teachings.
