Of course this is the line NPR is gonna push...can’t have any dedicated Muslims just offing American service people...because they are Muslim...they MUST have an underlying condition.

This country is going to be killed by political correctness. We need to begin to turn this around next November...and then November 2012.

The insanity of the liberals must be stopped.

So, they promoted him after discussing whether he was psychotic???

This is looking more and more like Walter Reed decided to dump their problem on Ft. Hood instead of doing what needed to be done.

They should know. They’re trained to diagnose these things.

When he started shooting did he yell something incoherent like “The beetles in the Silly Putty are chewing towards Atlantis”? No, I think he yelled something else.

Do they still use “Code Red” in the military?

Hasan had been a trouble spot on officials' radar since he started training at Walter Reed, six years earlier. Several officials confirm that supervisors had repeatedly given him poor evaluations and warned him that he was doing substandard work.

And yet the U.S. Army promoted this Islamist lunatic to MAJOR!

Kind of says it all - its good to know Army Medicine is progressing to the point of asking germane questions - too bad they can’t provide an answer.

By asking this question, the LEFT is trying to excuse Malik Hasan from the DEATH PENALTY.

Are YOU going to help the LEFT accomplish their goals ?

“Hasan is an Islamic Terrorist. Don’t make it harder than it is.”

Islam is a form of psychosis, not unlike liberal illness, but more likely to cause those infected by it to have psychotic episodes.

I fear a Beslan type attack by terrorists in the country as well
as the malls at Christmas. Each time something happens, BO
will tell us know one knows why these things happen.

So, for six years his superiors thought he was doing lousy work and that he was possibly crazy. And for six years they gave him lousy performance reports. And for six years they kept him on and promoted him, and then sent him to Fort Hood, probably, because they couldn’t stand having him around any more.

I agree. All these people should be court martialed. Even aside from the final terrorist murders, what were they thinking of letting this obvious loser work with patients in a military hospital—supposedly the top military hospital in the country?

I suspect it was a matter of money. They spent maybe half a million educating this useless jerk, and they wanted to get their money’s worth back from him.

Well, probably they should have given him the boot part way through school, because I doubt whether his performance was all that great then, either.

But the military has a policy—unfortunately begun under Bush—of going to great lengths to get as many Muslims into uniform as possible, even paying them bounties to persuade them to join.

Political correctness run amok.

Second, some of Hasan's supervisors and instructors had told colleagues that they repeatedly bent over backward to support and encourage him, because they didn't have clear evidence that he was unstable, and they worried they might be "discriminating" against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist Islamic beliefs.

This guy was a radical Muslim. Even the actions described in this article point toward that. One person said he wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with him. Another that they thought he might leak secret information. Yet these doctors are so wrapped up in their psychobabble world that they can't see the truth for the mumbo jumbo, and didn't want to 'discriminate' against his 'seemingly' extremist beliefs.

And finally, Hasan was about to leave Walter Reed and USUHS for good and transfer to Fort Hood, in Texas. Fort Hood has more psychiatrists and other mental specialists than some other Army bases, so officials figured there would be plenty of co-workers who would support Hasan — and monitor him.

Ah, that's the ticket. Pass the buck. Whew, he's not our problem anymore. Issue solved. Every one of these idiots should be fired.

“Yeah, it was much easier to promote him and sit on their thumbs as he killed and wounded so many at Ft. Hood.”

It takes moral courage, as well a sense of duty and honor to initiate personnel action, it’s time consuming and often times there is pressure to just make it go away.

In battle the result of not performing is death/injury or capture (sometimes just as bad) whereas in this situation in over 90& of the cases there won’t be any reprisals/consequences and your inaction may not even be exposed.

Is it possible, some mused, that Hasan was mentally unstable and unfit to be an Army psychiatrist?

If a room full of experienced psychiatrists, including several with a lot of experience supervising psychiatric residents who are working under the specific pressures at Walter Reed, have to ask this question, then obviously he needed a formal psychiatric evaluation at the very least, and it appears that never happened.
