Those who knew Nidal Malik Hasan before he was a major in the Army -- and the suspect in last week's mass killing at Fort Hood -- say he was long known for militant Islamist views.
Doctors who crossed paths with Hasan in medical programs paint a picture of a subpar student who wore his religious views on his sleeve.
Several doctors who knew Hasan spoke to CNN, but only on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation of the shooting, which left 12 soldiers and one civilian dead and dozens of other people wounded.
Hasan, an Army psychiatrist who faces 13 counts of premeditated murder, "was clearly espousing Islamist ideology" during his time as a medical student at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, one of his former classmates told CNN.
...
The former classmate told CNN that he voiced concerns about Hasan to supervisors at the school.
A second former medical school colleague of Hasan said several people raised concerns about Hasan's overall competence.
Even though Hasan earned his medical degree and residency, some of his fellow students believed Hasan "didn't have the intellect" to be in the program and was not academically rigorous in his coursework.
Hasan "was not fit to be in the military, let alone in the mental health profession," this classmate told CNN. "No one in class would ever have referred a patient to him or trusted him with anything."
The first classmate echoed this sentiment.
Hasan was "coddled, accommodated and pushed through that masters of public health despite substandard performance," the classmate said. He was "put in the fellowship program because they didn't know what to do with him."

... and he was promoted to major. PC gone awry!
YOU HEAR THAT YOU CHICKENSH*T MARXIST OBAMA?
YOU HEAR THAT YOU CHICKENSH*T PERFUMED GENERAL CASEY?
YOU HEAR THAT YOU RACE PIMPING IDIOT HOLDER?
YOU HEAR THAT YOU RETARDS?
Maybe if Michael Steele would have translated his “What Up” campaign into Arabic Hasan would have become another cookie cutter American who voted RINO.
If it were PC that would be very bad. I believe that our government has been infiltrated by many who want to see an end to this great society. This is much worse.
I can’t disagree, although I was limiting my comment to the actions of one Major Hassan.
Nixon was not impeached for Watergate.
He was impeached for the COVER UP of Watergate.
To do this, we need a Republican House and Senate from 2011, and also the Republicans there must NOT be RINOs.
Nixon’s impeachment was a result of the never ending attacks by the msm.
Driven from office in much the same way Sarah Palin was driven from the governor’s office in Alaska.
He was GUARANTEED to make Major when he graduated from USUHS ( med school). He owed 7 years for USHUS and 3 more for residency. You graduate from med school as a Captain. In the military it’s “up or out”. Get passed over for promotion twice and you get an involuntary separation within 90 days. So, they will do ANYTHING not to have to do that. If this a##hat had a pulse he was almost certain to make Lt Colonel eventually.
General Casey: Besides all these second hand anecdotes and a few e-mails on matters of faith...who knew?
What I said.
Indeed you did.
Everybody who loves America needs to vote the Rats out of office.
Who signed off on his promotion? Which officers heard of his Islamist views and ignored subordinates concerns? There should be a major investigation..........waiting, waiting, waiting
Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.
I say the latter.
Okay, I know this is CNN, so I know what to expect, but how long is this Islamic Jihadist/murdering serial assassin going to be called THE SUSPECT??????
Nixon wasn’t impeached. He resigned rather than drag the country through an impeachment.
agreed
