Hasan was shot 4 times, but is in stable condition.

Retired Army Col. Terry Lee told Fox News that he worked with Hasan, who had hoped Obama would pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Lee said Hasan got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars, and had tried hard to prevent his pending deployment.
At Walter Reed, Hasan received a poor performance evaluation, according to an official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
There was no official word on motive. But Hasan was scheduled to be deployed overseas on Nov. 28, officials said. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, said military officials had told her that Hasan was “pretty upset” about his deployment, which she said was to be to Iraq.

Weird that he told the 7-11 clerk that he was going to be deployed soon but not his family, who found out through media reports.

Went to check my email this morning to see Yahoo front page headlining eyewitness claims that Hasan cried 'A11ahu Akb@r' as he began shooting, per an AP item. Is this bullshit, dare I hope?

I thought for a second that Shoshana was calling the dude a "jackoff". It was an exciting second.
― Fetchboy, Friday, 6 November 2009 17:02 (2 weeks ago) Permalink
Jack Officer kind of amounts to the same thing.

"JAG Officer" and "jackoff" are kind of the same thing, if US entertainment is to be believed

An apartment complex manager says the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood, Texas recently had a religious bumper sticker torn off his car.
The manager, John Thompson, says a fellow soldier allegedly keyed Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's car and ripped up the bumper sticker. Thompson says the soldier had been to Iraq and was upset to learn Hasan was Muslim.
Thompson, who manages the Killeen, Texas complex where Hasan lives, says the bumper sticker read: "Allah is Love." In Arabic, Allah means God.
A report filed on Aug. 16 with Killeen police says Hasan's car had been scratched causing $1,000 worth of damage. The report says an Army employee had been arrested. It didn't provide more details about what happened.

Had heard about that yesterday but not that they'd actually arrested someone in the case. Makes me wonder if said soldier was one of the intended victims.

When I saw that video earlier I thought Shoshona was countering "have you been to Iraq, ma'am" with "You are a jag-off, sir." (Do people outside of the Midwest say "jag-off"?)

During that time, she recalls Hasan as "not very empathetic."
Ha, how many army doctors has she interacted with?

re jag-off, I grew up in MN until I was 11.
I hear jag-off a lot in Chicago, but like I said, I didn't know if the rest of the world outside the mid-west said it or knew of it.

This odd bit was linked to from the comments at TNC's blog:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42980
Dolph Lundgren showed up to Ft Hood in the days before the shooting for a change-of-command ceremony, and his AICN tag-along wrote this about General Lynch:
I wasn’t exactly comfortable with the religious fervor, his speech feeling more like a sermon. Being the pinko commie (or whatever they call liberal these days) I am, I can’t help but get a puckered butthole when I hear a General sermonizing about being part of God’s army and doing God’s work. But it was his party after all… the dude can say what he likes.
