Terrible tragedy at Fort Hood in TexasArmy Maj. Nidal Malik Nadal Hasan massacred 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more. I should think we would have had procedures in place to ferret out deeply disturbed nut jobs like this and remove them from the military or get them help or both. I wonder if political coorectness got in the way of the needed preventive actions. Ironically this scum was a psychiatrist charged with counseling his fellow soldiers.
It is a sad day here in the United States of America.

Very sad day indeed.
Some nutters lie dormant for ages, and its so hard to pick them up.
Human rights gets in the way as well.
Such a tragedy- I feel for the families of all involved

Gil,
You are right about political correctness. It often overrides common sense, a very scarce commodity in our country nowadays.

Remember though that this was an act of an individual, I know one Muslim family that already has received threats, and their son is serving in Ieaq at this time!

The only help this guy should be getting is a good old fashioned beating every day as he rots in prison for the rest of his life. Death would be too good for him....
Can't begin to even think about what the families are going through

So odd too he was a Major in rank and educated as a MD, specialized as a Psychiatrist! His job was to keep just this kind of thing from happening.

I wonder if the word "sleeper" could be appropriate here???

For some reason, I think he acted on his own,

I hate to say it but it is entirely possible, even probable.
Today we have learned that this scumbag had published his rantings glorifying the suicide bombers, etc. He had spoken out publicly in the hospital as well. He did not belong in our midst and he especially had no place in our military. Unfortunately it appears he was our worst enemy. It appears he is of the same ilk as all who would kill us and praise those who would kill us. He is not just some nut job after all but a true islamic extremist terrorist.
As I said before, I have zero tolerance for a violent extremist.

This tragedy is featuring very strongly on all news over here. Making big mentions of the comments e made earlier (on the internet I think) and wishing death upon US troops
As earlier mentioned, I think politicial correctness could have got in the way. Too many people in higher authority too scared to speak the truth, and or use common sense.
My thoughts go out to those affected. It is such an awful tragedy 
Well done to the female police officer who played a major part in stopping further deaths

One of the things that sickens me beyond the loss of lives is a large part of our media that is publishing garbage about this "poor stressed out soldier" who lost it and massacred a group of unarmed soldiers. They are making him out to be the victim if you can believe it. I have not seen one story about the profound sadness and forever losses of the murdered soldiers families. Those they left behind have suffered irreparable damage. We don't even know the victims' names and they give the murdering coward all the free rides and soft peddle who he is and what he represents.
Just makes me want to puke seeing some of our news outlets cuddling up to this bastard.

Maybe true but that doesn't change the fact that he is a violent islamic terrorist.

... already, you can read on islamic sites, blogs, youtube, etc., that this creep is a "hero" for taking the lives of soldiers, not innocent civillians.
We cuddle muslims, let them into our countries, let them (mostly) live off our social systems, we dare not hurt their religious feelings, remove the crucifixes from our school's classrooms (here in Austria) - yet they call us 'infidels', refuse to even learn German, ridicule our Roman Catholocism, etc., etc.
And now this massacre at Fort Hood (my parents were stationed there in the 50ies).
I'm sorry that I got so worked up, mates. But I have no sympathy or respect for islam whatsoever anymore.

I have all respect and support for your opinion Tom.
I have some sympathy for those muslims that are very decent people and live by the 10 commandments or similar rules for decent civilized life. It is those who are dangerous that I have no use for.

He certainly wasn't any good at his job either. Given his confrontational history with patients, I don't think he was even qualified to be a psychiatrist (other than on paper).

Update:
A large part of our govrnment and media, including the entire executive branch, are operating in total denial. They are refusing to ackknowledge that what happened was a terrorist attack and the first act of terrorism committed in our homeland since 9-11. They and much of the media are simply refusing to call this creep a terrorist and his crime terrorism. I called my local Congressional office and inquired why no one in government had the spine to stand up and speak the truth about the massacre. They gave me a rather prepared answer about waiting to see what eveidence turns up. I politely suggested that that is a crock of you know what and they should just look back a few weeks when we arrested men in Denver, Dallas, and New York and stopped these terrorists. The Whitehouse, Congress, and the media had no trouble saying we just stopped these terrorists but now that one has gotten his act completed they just won't admit he is a terrorist. WHERE IS THEIR SPINE ????

Gil, I think their spine has been badly damaged by frequent insertion of their head's up their asses!!!
I like at times to think I was Soloman...that man would have been lined up against a wall after that attack and shredded with 50 caliber machine gun fire. Instead he's getting the best possible medical care while his lawyers angle that he can't get a fair trial...hell, hundreds of people witnessed the SOB pumping 100 rounds into innocent unarmed people.
Yup, a 50 caliber BMG with a few hundred round belt would not have left enough to clean up with a sponge.
