WASHINGTON (AP) - The Army now says the military psychiatrist
suspected in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood is not dead as
previously announced.
The development comes as the Army tries to determine what led to
the massacre that left 12 people dead and 31 others wounded.
The Army identifies the shooting suspect as Maj. Nidal Malik
Hasan. Law enforcement officials say he'd come to the attention of
authorities six months ago because of Internet postings that
discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
The postings appeared to have been made by Hasan, who was
wounded during the shootings at the Army post that killed 12
soldiers and wounded at least 30 others. A Fort Hood spokesman had
earlier said Hasan was killed.
The officials say they're still trying to confirm that Hasan was
the author of the Internet postings. They say an official
investigation was not opened.

It is absolutely terrible that even the military has had to become so "Political Correct" that they could not have just kicked him out of the service. Here, we have given him a $500k education, and they learn that he did not want to serve his country. Would have been much better to let him go and face the reality that the country has been taken advantage of. But, no, no it would have appeared that we were targeting him because of his religion. How much longer are we going to bury our heads in the sand and just ask that we be attacked by those who are bent on terror attacks. Political Correctness needs to be erased from our vocabulary!!

He should stand trail. If he is found guilty and the sentence is by firing squad, I hope they tell that one, the bullets are all dipped in pig blood and two, when they put his body in a pine box, they'll fill with pig entrails. Don't come back at me with liberal panzy talk, there is no way anyone can get any lower than this punk. Heck, street gangs have more honor than this sorry excuse for a human. I feel sorry for his family, they may very well have to have security around them at all times or they may have to move out of the country.

His pain?! You're kidding! Most of us live with some sort of mental/emotional pain but we don't terrorize others or kill for the sake of killing. This man is a traitor, a terrorist, and an assassion and should be either executed or imprisoned for the rest of his life. If he doesn't live that would save the U.S. taxpayers from having to house his lousy hide.
