From CNN: Convenience Store Surveillance Video Of Fort Hood Shooter Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan – 11/05/09
Troubling portrait of the murderer.
Some interesting PC work by the WaPo:
WaPo reported (as reproduced by AZCentral):
“A co-worker at Walter Reed said Hasan would not allow his photo to be taken with female co-workers, which became an issue during Christmas season when employees often took group photos. Co-workers would find a solo photo of Hasan and post it on the bulletin board without his permission.”

It seems like WaPo has now taken down (or edited) that article, as PC sets in. Original WaPo link here:

The Middle Eastern mindset (not universal over there by any measure, but also present here in some Islamic circles) is often to silence the women and relegate them to second class citizens. Growing up in that kind of imbalanced environment, small boys mature into large boys who are themselves imbalanced, have an incorrect perception of what it means to be a “man,” and will not usually be content killing people in big-boy video games….

His musings.
Murdered now at 13. 30 wounded. He shouted, “Allahu Akbar” as he calmly walked in to kill these people? Is this not what the terrorists on 9/11 yelled? Not one newcasters, ot one, can bring themselves to say …jihad.
