MORE UNSURPRISING NEWS:
The Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood warned a roomful of senior Army physicians a year and a half ago that to avoid “adverse events,” the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims. . . .

Michelle Malkin —
... to see the whole damned thing. And then you need to demand to know the names of every higher-ups in the military and the government who read or saw this thing and did nothing about it. I’m talking about the chilling slide presentation that Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan gave at Walter Reed Hospital while a senior-year psych resident in June 2007. The Washington Post publishes details of the slide presentation, though not the original document itself. Goodbye, “Do no harm.” Hello, “We love death more then (sic) you love life!” As a senior-year psychiatric resident at Walter ...

Why Wasn't Hasan Discharged?
Swampland —
It is becoming increasingly apparent that Nidal Hasan was not only unhinged, but also an entirely inappropriate character to counsel U.S. soldiers on war-related stress and injuries. The wingers are exaggerating much of this--the fact that he attended the same mosque as two of the 9/11 hijackers is guilt by association, at best; the fact that he communicated with an Al Qaeda leader is more troubling, but the emails were monitored and judged to be non-threatening. What is very troubling is that his colleagues at Walter Reed seem to have had grave doubts about the ...

Hasan's Talk
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
Reading Dana Priest's summary and then the document itself, it seems to me that in some ways, Hasan was airing an important debate. I don't glean from the notes for his lecture that he was necessarily an Islamist fanatic, merely that he could see how Islam could be seen as incompatible with military service in Iraq and Afghanistan. His view is pretty close to what many critics of Islam argue. Of course, the power-points cannot convey the tone of content of his actual remarks, so I may be wrong. But as a piece of analysis, it's admirably candid and very clear ...

Casey attended today; a simple lone nut scenario involving a guy who, say, just got laid off and opened fire in frustration wouldn’t have drawn the same response. Most of you will have read today’s WaPo’s story by now about Hasan delivering a jihadbot lecture at Walter Reed two years ago during what was supposed to have been a medical presentation. What you might not have read is Time’s new piece confirming that ...

What should we learn from Nidal Hasan?
Ezra Klein —
... Looking at Hasan, however, seems to offer an encouraging answer. Tellingly, Hasan was not organizing attacks or cooperating with terrorist groups. He did not work with others or carefully conceal his leanings from authorities. Hasan, to an almost surprising degree, does seem to be an isolated case: An increasingly unstable loner who repeatedly voiced anti-American views, conflict over his service and a desire to be released. And his crime is receiving so much attention because it is so isolated: It is the worst Jihadist violence on American soil since 9/11, and ...

On the other hand, there is the fact that the military knew that he was a dangerous jihadi for at least two years. His colleagues repeatedly spoke up, only ...

The presentation weighed support in the Koran for peace against armed jihad and included comments–”We love death more then you love life!”–that may either be Hasan quoting the views of extremists and/or may be his own warning. The doctors attending are reported to have appeared to be upset at Hasan’s presentation, but it is not known whether anyone reported the content of the presentation itself. ...
