Officials Begin Putting Shooting Pieces Together
2009-11-06
From InstaPundit
He gave a Grand Rounds presentation. . . You take turns giving a lecture on, you know, the correct treatment of schizophrenia, the right drugs to prescribe for personality disorder, you know, that sort of thing. But instead of giving an academic paper, he gave a lecture on the Koran, and they said it didn't seem to be just an informational lecture, but it seemed to be his own beliefs. That's what a lot of people thought.

He talked about how if you're a nonbeliever the Koran says you should have your head cut off, you should have oil poured down your throat, you should be set on fire. And I said well couldn't this just be his educating you? And the psychiatrist said yes, but one of the Muslims in the audience, another psychiatrist, raised his hand and was quite disturbed and he said you know, a lot of us don't believe these things you're saying, and that there was no place where Hasan couched it as this is what the Koran teaches but you know I don't believe it. And people actually talked in the hallway afterwards about 'is he one of these people that's going to freak out and shoot people someday?'
43 more victimize twice by muslim jihad and political correctness.
Also:
"A source tells NPR's Joseph Shapiro that Hasan was put on probation early in his postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He was disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and colleagues, according to the source, who worked with him at the time."
Click on the headline and listen to the link. Dr. Hasan's colleagues were seriously spooked. Good work by the NPR reporter.

#2  The pieces I interest in are the following:

As a Major in the US Army, where was he sending all of his O-4 pay while living in an apartment for $350 a month?

Where is the other weapon from?

He had a serious lack of awards and yet was an O-4.

Was he really being deployed or just being led throiugh the motions until they had enough to rid the Army of him?

How was he selected to deploy with a bad OER from Walter Reid and a rap sheet the command was aware of?

What is the deal with the two others questioned?

#1  This is not all that difficult: If you see someone and say, "Someday he will shoot someone or will kill someone", then act on it. Ask someone who has been through one of these deals, and they will usually say, "I always thought it would be him". The U.S. Army was in a good position to act on things by investigating Hansan, counseling him, treating him, and assigning him to some place out of harm's way.
