Introspection, Not Rationalization, Needed in Wake of Fort Hood Slaughter

By SOF Editor on Fri, 11/06/2009 - 6:00pm

A picture of Nidal Malik Hasan is emerging from the slaughter he carried out Thursday during a ceremony at a Fort Hood readiness center, leaving 13 people dead and another 30 wounded. Born in Virginia, sent to medical school by the U.S. Army, the psychiatrist was chastised for proselytizing [6] to his patients about Islam. Asked his nationality, he didn't identify himself as an American but as a Palestinian [7]. He appeared pleased by the shooting death of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June and reportedly was heard saying [8] "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square."
