CBS/ AP) A law enforcement official says a shooting suspect at a U.S. military base in Texas has been identified as Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan.
A source tells CBS News investigative producer Len Tepper that Hasan is a licensed psychiatrist in Bethesda, Md. He is a drug and rehab specialist who got his Virginia psychiatry license July 12, 2005.
The official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at Fort Hood. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
According to the Army Times, Hasan promoted to Major, medical corps April 22, 2009.
The official says investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name, or if he changed his name and converted to the Islamic faith at some point in his life.

Why ???
Was he black ???
He had access to how many of our soldiers who were suffering from various emotional disturbances; I'm talking about PTSD, as well as the emotional issues resulting from leftist protesters calling them baby killers, the knowledge that their C-I-C does not have their back WRT Afghanistan, Iraq and the greater WOT and Islamic fascism, and other equally distressing issues?
That is also very scary.
With his access to emotionally at-risk soldiers, he could have "turned" a bunch of them to assist him with his dirty deed.
It's good he's dead, I think.
I was wondering what his real name was
