Re: 'Thirteen shot dead' at US army base
well this chaps not the first yank to go apes--t with a gun and i doubt he will be the last.
imo they need to find out why he did this [preferably before he is lynched] if it was because he was/is mentally unstable then he needs help ,if it was however an act of terrorism then i'm sure he'll end up on death row .
its also just possible he was terrified at the prospect of deployment and it sent him over the edge
i know faced with the prospect of going into this hell hole i would be scared ,very scared ..

It was in the last five years - BBC

He had joined the military over the wishes of his parents, who have since died, his aunt said. Despite his recent attempts to leave, "he would tell us the military was his life".
Several reports said Maj Hasan was about to be deployed overseas against his wishes.
"We've known over the last five years that was probably his worst nightmare," his cousin, Nader Hasan, told Fox News.

Re: 'Thirteen shot dead' at US army base
the telegraph [not sure if its on the approved list] has reported this
Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists
Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

Re: 'Thirteen shot dead' at US army base

Do you really think that the US military would have allowed him that?

Re: 'Thirteen shot dead' at US army base
To be associating with "people of interest." Not hardly likely to happen, is it.

Re: 'Thirteen shot dead' at US army base
Oh c'mon...one of their officers, a psychiatrist, who gets to hear all the innermost thoughts of those returning from the front, is not kept an eye on?

Why? because he's Muslim, because he's a psychiatrist? because it later transpires that he shot a load of people?
