United States Army Major Nidal Hasan proclaimed himself a "soldier of Allah" on private business cards he obtained over the Internet and kept in a box at his apartment near Fort Hood, Texas.
Hasan, the perpetrator of last week's fatal shootings in Fort Hood, TX, was charged Thursday with 13 counts of premeditated murder under Article 188 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which can carry a sentence up to death or life imprisonment.
"In documents reviewed by NPR and conversations with medical officials at Walter Reed and USUHS, new details have emerged regarding serious concerns that officials raised about Hasan during his time at both institutions.
Both fellow students and faculty were deeply troubled by Hasan's behavior — which they variously called disconnected, aloof, paranoid, belligerent, and schizoid."
"Starting in the spring of 2008, key officials from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences held a series of meetings and conversations, in part about Maj. Nidal Hasan, the man accused of killing 13 people and wounding dozens of others last week during a shooting spree at Fort Hood. One of the questions they pondered: Was Hasan psychotic?"
"Hasan emotionally disturbed, showed warning signs during descent into illness and rage."
I saw Lipman at the White House Press Briefing yesterday ask Gibbs that now that Hassan was conscious whether law enforcement investigation has begun. He is clearly saying that terrorism and the mental signs that Hassan showed are not either-or. A disturbed person is more likely to commit this act. He says there were warning signs that could have been seen. That makes sense to me!
The title of Hasan's power-point presentation was "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military." In one slide, Hasan described the presentation's objectives as identifying "what the Koran inculcates in the minds of Muslims and the potential implications for the U.S. military."
He also sought to "Describe the nature of the religious conflicts that Muslims may have" who serve in the U.S. military and to convince the Army that it should identify these individuals.
"The psychiatrists at Walter Reed made clear that this was not a man whose experience was primarily shaped by being a Muslim. This was a man with serious personality disturbances."
Yes ...Right. If such political correctness would not get many more killed, we would continue on with it.
Google the following on the Washington Post:
In late June 2007, Nidal stood before his supervisors and about 25 other mental health staff members and lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, both Muslim countries, according to a copy of the presentation obtained by The Washington Post.
"If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance," Senator Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said on "Fox News Sunday." "He should have been gone."
Senator Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wants Congress to determine whether the shootings constitute a terrorist attack.
I've heard if you eat too many Slim Jims, the odd conglomeration of meats will take over your mind and slowly make you go insane. It almost happened to Macho Man Randy Savage, and it could happen to YOU!
Rodriguez's shootings were at an office building. Should we look for a plot of unemployed engineers? Cho was at VA Tech. Should we suspect all Koreans?
I remember: After VA Tech, some shouted: "It's a plot!". They're very quiet now.
If you want to Stop these, listen to what Dr. Lippman says.
It makes me sad to see so many young men use their testosterone instead of their brains. Its the same attitude that leads to so much violence.
As a military mom, and someone who knows people at the Fort in Texas, I am so thankful for information like this.
The Doctor really makes so much sense! I want to see my son able to defend our country, and we need to know how to spot people who are going to "snap" if he is going to be able to do this! Thank you!
This is exactly what is needed--intelligence and insight after an event like Fort Hood! This is what will stop these horrible events. The news today is reporting that this right! He acted alone.
Is obvious.......you're racists person, and my advise you to get some psychological evaluation.
byway if you would make argument like that, as matter as fact why don't u add them race, gender, height, and weight....etc on those FBI terrorism list, why stop short? what are you scare?? that you might have some common !!!
keep up your dumb ass propaganda, Hitler use it once and I see the similarity between you too.
I wouldn't have done anything. I was just complaining. Now you're giong to fix it...

If Daniel Zwedling had been in the twin towers 09-11 he would no doubt have called the Jihadis "Just Good Old Chaps Out for a Jaunt"....Ha
And Jumped down the 150 stories no doubt with a song of praise on his lips.
As the Jihadis (much like Nidal the Prick) shouted... Allahu Akbar.
Right.

Exactly right.
I've seen these kinds of reactions after so many shootings, for at least 15-20 years"
1) Stressed person, likely undiagnosed or incompletely treated mental illness
2) Bigger stress--harassement (remember Columbine?), loss of family member or wife/g.f. suddenly
3) Big increase in anger as they lose control and start to make a plan
4) Shooting--like in FL this week--and the typical saying "Terrorist plot"
As the facts show, Hasan exactly matches this.

"One of Major Hasans supervisors, Dr. Thomas Grieger, said Major Hasan had difficulties while at Walter Reed that required counseling."

If we want to stop these events, we need to REALIZE why they happen. It's always the same, year after year!
From Monday:
Fort Hood Gunman Gave Signals Before His Rampage
By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr. and JAMES DAO
Relatives of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan say stress that led to the shooting had been building for a long time."
Very impressive that Lipman saw this here.
There are definitely violent people who become enraged & show that violence when stressed. Everywhere & of every kind.

Rodriguez's shootings were at an office building. Should we look for a plot of unemployed engineers? Cho was at VA Tech. Should we suspect all Koreans?

ALL Service members go through emotional pressures. BUT only US Muslim Servicemen have killed their comrades.
Usually to cries of Allahu Akbars.
To ignore the confict that Muslims religious duties creates with their duties as members of the Services is to keep your heads buried in the sand.
And take casualties where they should NOT be taken. Emotional Pressures can get excerbated. to Break Point.
Like ANY other conflict, to acknowledge is to take the first steps to treatment.

What makes them snap ...
is the perpetual conflict that Muslims find themselves in because of the unquestioned blind beliefs in the criminal teachings of Islam ....
...... and the limits of human endurance of such conflict
ISLAM is a criminal cult.
Born, Bred, and Perpetuated with Blood, Murder and Fear.
And when they snap, that history of extreme violence snaps to the surface.
