The Washington Post<\/a> reports this morning that the Army is forming a panel of experts to investigate Nidal Hasan’s career and to recommend ways to avoid the massacre at Fort Hood getting a repeat performance; <\/p>\n

“Casey is looking at a panel that will look longitudinally across Hasan’s entire career to figure out how did this happen and what can we do to stop it from happening again,” said the Army official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the announcement of such a group remains pending. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, I’m not privy to any special information, but I’m pretty sure there are some missed signs here (unless emailing radical imams with the full knowledge of the FBI has a meaning I don’t understand) and I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to point out how the Army, and the Feds in general, could have avoided the 13 counts of premeditated murder.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Morning News<\/a> reports that Hasan had approached his superiors about prosecuting some of his patients for war crimes;<\/p>\n

Fort Hood massacre suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sought to have some of his patients prosecuted for war crimes based on statements they made during psychiatric sessions with him, a captain who served on the base said Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m torn on that – while I agree that war crimes should be prosecuted, it’s disturbing that Hasan was willing to surrender his patients’ rights to do so. That will probably prevent a lot of patients from being honest with their counselors. The Dallas paper uses it as a excuse to be lenient with the thirteen-time murderer;<\/p>\n

The revelations add to a portrait of Hasan as a man at odds with many of those around him — emotionally, religiously and ideologically.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still stick to my original theory that Hasan was a malingerer who’ll use religion and PTSD as an excuse in his trial. I just know a malingerer when I see one.<\/p>\n

Claymore sent us a link to a Democratic Underground<\/a> thread in which the DUmmies are more than willing to take away returning veterans’ guns until they prove themselves worthy of owning a gun. Of course, the strongest proponents of relieving veterans of their rights claim to be veterans themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
