ABC news is reporting that Nadal Malik Hasan suffered from stresses like those he treated in others. At the same time he was targeted for racial taunting, called "Camel Jockey" by others with whom he interacted in the armed forces.
Like the rape victims who are blamed for their own problems because they went to a latrine at night, I wonder if superiors wouldn't listen to Mr. Hasan., or if they were part of the problem.
See details at "Nadal Malik Hasan, Suspected Fort Hood Shooter, Was Called "Camel Jockey" ".
In which their source, a former FBI agent tells them he believes it possible that Hasan ultimately felt he would save lives via a shooting rampage and did not want to survive the attack.
If we try to coordinate the two possible impulses from Mr. Hasan we might have something like a compassionate Columbine Killer.
I'm just saying.
Obviously Mr. Hasan's earlier writings on the Internet make people think of Islamists (whatever that means -- oh yeah, it means Muslims who won't lay down and let white and yellow folk walk over them to get their oil cheaply and some of them become violent, especially because the white world has been grabbign their oil cheaply for over a century).
