Fox News can confirm that Fort Hood suspect Army Major Nidal Hasan is awake and speaking to medical staff at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio.

Hospital spokesperson Maria Gallegos says he's in critical but stable condition.

A U.S. Army spokesman says Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspected Fort Hood gunman, is in critical but stable condition three days after he allegedly opened fire on the military base that killed 13 and left 29 wounded.

Hasan, 39, was shot during an exchange of gunfire during Thursday's attack. The military moved him on Friday to Brooke Medical Center, where he was taken off a ventilator on Saturday.

I did a search and came up empty

[bsf2009]

Who did he vote for in the last election?

[Radagast the Fool]

I hope they let him know it was a woman who took him down!

[bergmeid]

I bet you CAIR is hovering outside the hospital. We should start protesting in front. Too bad I’m not in Texas.

[George from New England]

This guy will be trying every type of suicide imaginable. Let’s hope he chooses to not take anyone with him.

They better watch out for any Islamic visitors as well.

[a fool in paradise]

“Where’s my firearm? I feel a jihad coming on...”

[afnamvet]

So, start feeding him ham sandwiches.

[MNlurker]

I’m going to be sick getting these updates...probably only a matter of time til he uses insanity as excuse. Hang the POS already!

[Don Corleone]

Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspected Fort Hood gunman,

Suspected bullhockey! Over 100 people saw him doing it.

[SE Mom]

Man, oh man- I’d give a lot to know what he’s saying...

P.S. Is it ok if I don’t refer to this jihadist as the “alleged” shooter?

[a fool in paradise]

“Can I have my brocolli back?”

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Maybe they are serving ham today at the hospital?

[Labour-Watch]

Guess who isn’t going to be waterboarded.

[skully]

I hope he gets bacon for breakfast

[Bahbah]

I want them to hang a picture of her in his room, right in front of his face.

God bless Kim Munley.

[Question Liberal Authority]

They should interrogate him immediately.

That way, later on, the administration will be able to prosecute the interrogators.

[jessduntno]

“So, start feeding him ham sandwiches.”

...in suppositories...

[Kaslin]

I don’t think you need to ask

[a fool in paradise]

The media is engaging in BS by calling him “suspect” and “alleged shooter”. Even “not guilty by reason of insanity” would not clear him from claims that HE was the shooter.

It isn’t like the Oswald case where the perp was apprehended away from the scene and MAY not have done what he was accused of. This man was shot down IN ACTION.

[PLD]

If this bastard recovers don't expect any punishment the Obama administration will say he was crazy and put him in a hospital we pay for..To think he is still breathing after our young men and women are dead..

[Nervous Tick]

Excellent news.

Hopefully pretty soon, he’ll be well enough that he can be weaned off of pain relievers.

When he get to that point, it’s time to begin crushing his teeth one by one with a pair of pliers.

Once he gets out of intensive care, we can start working over his nuts with an electric generator.

[In Maryland]

Damn! Wish we could have had time to arrange that the first thing he saw when he woke was Helen Thomas in a negligee!

[lonster]

so when does he appear on countdown or maddow??

[cll]

Is it legal to keep him just on the threshold of pain, continously?

[2banana]

Are they letting him pray 5 times a day, serve him only mulsim food and not let any women treat him. He has human rights, don't cha know???

[a fool in paradise]

Did the media EVER say “suspected war criminals” or “alleged flushing of a koran”?

The yellow journalists ran with the lies for MONTHS and enranged the enemy with propaganda.

[DYngbld]

only a matter of time til he uses insanity as excuse.

My guess he will never serve time in prison for this, a mental ward maybe but not prison.

[Leg Olam]

‘This guy will be trying every type of suicide imaginable.’

It would be kind of hard for him to do it if they ‘accidently’ amputated his hands and feet.

[ncfool]

Now he invokes the insanity plea! “I CAN’T REMEMBER” “ I MUST HAVE BLANKED OUT”

[refermech]

Good, now he can think about hanging for allah.

[kinsman redeemer]

His first question: “Are YOU my virgins?!”

[a fool in paradise]

“No morphine for you, it is not halal.”

[jessduntno]

“Damn! Wish we could have had time to arrange that the first thing he saw when he woke was Helen Thomas in a negligee!”

I don’t care how fiendish someone is...there has got to be a line drawn somehwere...I was thinking hanging, but this...this would be barbaric...

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

[Mr. Silverback]

Good. May he suffer long interrogations and a trial that shows him as the son of Hell he is, followed by a first class execution.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Glad to hear it. Now tell him to burn in hell and shoot him.

[Rutles4Ever]

MSM will report the first words out of his mouth:

Hasan: “Glenn....Beck...”

[ken5050]

Question” Can a psychiatrist claim an insanity defense?

[MediaMole]

Does this s-bird get to keep his rank until the court martial? It’s sickening to hear him referred to as Major. He betrayed his country and his oath.

[Kaslin]

You know that gets me too, when the say ‘the alleged’ or suspected gunman

[a fool in paradise]

It was WRONG to shoot a SUSPECT in this incident. He should have been read his rights and taken into custody before attempting to kill him. < /revised rules of engagement in the PC media driven world >

[DainBramage]

I hope they keep the TV on 700 club 24/7

[SMARTY]

“suspected” gunman?????

[Salgak]

It’s a legalism. Until convicted by a court of law, the press has to refer to him as the “alleged” or “suspected” killer. . .

[oneolcop]

You bring up an interesting point: People think they have to say alleged when the presumption of innocence only applies to the court proceedings.

People don't have to say alleged. The act of shooting the people is real, the question of guilt or innocence in a legal sense is what the trial determines. i.e. not guilty by reason of insanity, etc.

[jiggyboy]

Oh don’t worry about the insanity defense, that’s a given, the only question is what drove him “insane”...the Huffers already have a theory that he was “forced” to take meds so he could deal with the PTSD-by-association aspects of his job.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Thank goodness, I guess he’ll be ready for an honorable discharge and a plane ticket home soon. /s/

I doubt he will be allowed visitors. There are probably guards in front of the door
