Fort Hood captain: Hasan wanted patients to face war crimes charges
2009-11-17
Blaring, red warning sign #9458.
Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan sought to have some of his patients prosecuted for war crimes based on statements they made during psychiatric sessions with him, a captain who served on the base said Monday.

Other psychiatrists complained to superiors that Hasan's actions violated doctor-patient confidentiality, Capt. Shannon Meehan told The Dallas Morning News.

#10  Apparently none of Hasan's superiors saw fit to report Hasan's violation of professional ethics either.

#7  The DOD is forbidden by federal statute from spying on the United States or its citizens, or from conducting espionage against internal groups.

The Department of Defense has the capability and responsibility to monitor security and potential threats of esponionage concerning it's own uniformed and civilian employee members through it's Counterintelligence (CI) and Criminal Investigate Division (CID) venues.

Hasan could and I once again emphasize '
could' have been an unwitting source for a number of intelligence entities. Call me nieve or PC blinded, but I simply cannot believe all of the "red flags" ie, statements, money transfers, etc, concerning Hasan produced no action whatsoever.

#6  If for some reason he was NOT, then we have an even more damning problem within DoD and the intelligence community.
The DOD is forbidden by federal statute from spying on the United States or its citizens, or from conducting espionage against internal groups. The Feds (FBI) take care of that. It appears there are still "walls" between intelligence communities, or the old ones have been re-erected. As for him being an intelligence SOURCE, I don't believe it. This idiot is too unstable to be a reliable source, he is too much the "jihadi" to have been a "mole", and he doesn't appear bright enough to have gotten through med school and psychiatric training without a LOT of PC and "multi-culti" affirmative action help.

I hope, when they sentence him, it's to be staked down on the top of Pikes Peak for the winter, in his underwear, fed by a glucose/saline IV. I'll pay the $50 ticket to ride the cog railway to the summit just to spit on him.

#5  I will never be convinced he was anything other than an intelligence source gone dreadfully bad. If for some reason he was NOT, then we have an even more damning problem within DoD and the intelligence community.

#4  For the sake of PC, our own Army refused to investigate this man who gave them every possible sign that he was a terrorist. Including his own "Soldier of Allah" business cards.

When will this PC insanity stop?

#2  "I heard he was not one you wanted to go to" because he didn't finish his work promptly, Meehan said. "Apparently the reason it took so long is he was turning it over to legal."

..."legal" meaning The Hague?
