Very weird coincidence I think. Unless the perp traveled to Turkey. On some other thread a picture taken in Indonesia shows a smiling fellow with a name almost identical to Cho’s. Could be our perp traveled to some muslim countries recently. Seems a long way to go to see a shrink.

He may not have traveled to Turkey, but he have had access to materials Ak has published. Exploring the site Turkish Assoc. of Psychopharmacology unfortunately revealed no publications by Ak. So, it is not clear by what path "Ismail Ak" could have come to be known by Cho.

Yeah, but folks have pointed out that the similarly named fellow in Indonesia a. has a squarer jaw, and b. has posted an online denial of being the same person.

Ismail Ax on Cho Seung-Hui, and Cho Seung-Hoo aka Ismail are awfully coincidental, as is the fact that Ismail Ak works on the psychopharmacology of treatments for suicide and depression, but apparently they are coincidences.

Until they publish his 4 (or was it 8?) page suicide note (which one report indicated was signed Ismail Ax), and/or the history from his web browser and documents found on his computer, further pajama-media analyses of the matter stike me as failing to head the warning implicit in Umberto Eco’s novel Foucault’s Pendulum. (I won’t post a spoiler for the novel, but those who have read it know what I’m talking about.)
