Hasan Wanted His Patients Charged with War Crimes

Political correctness is going to get us all killed. Terrorist Major Hasan did all but say, "I'm a jihadist! Come and get me." But, the authorities refused to deal with this bomb waiting to go off. Now, it's too late, and there are 14 dead. Their blood is crying out. "Why, were we not protected from this Islamic monster?"

In the meantime, the evidence confirming that Hasan was a terrorist is growing by the day. Read from Atlas Shrugs:

Major Muslim Mass Murder Hasan Wanted His Patients to Face War Crimes charges

"Imagine this. You are a great American fighting the jihad overseas. You have seen the savagery and barbarity of Islamic jihad first hand. You come home. The army assigns you a shrink - an avowed and proud devout Muslim, Major Muslim Nidal Hasan. You tell him your troubles ............. and sharia law demands war crimes get filed.

This is the enforcement of sharia law in our schools, workplaces, public schools and the military. Heads should roll, and I don't mean that in the Islamic sense. This is egregious to an unthinkable degree. As a proud American, I am outraged at how sick and cowardly our elites have become.

Fort Hood captain: Hasan wanted patients to face war crimes charges by BROOKS EGERTON / The Dallas Morning News


'Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan sought to have some of his patients prosecuted for war crimes based on statements they made during psychiatric sessions with him, a captain who served on the base said Monday.

Other psychiatrists complained to superiors that Hasan's actions violated doctor-patient confidentiality, Capt. Shannon Meehan told The Dallas Morning News.

One day after the Nov. 5 attack that killed 13 and wounded 29, a Fort Hood official said she had never received complaints about Hasan's job performance. Col. Kimberly Kesling, deputy commander of clinical services at the base's Darnall Army Medical Center, also said he was a "hardworking, dedicated young man who gave great care to his patients."

Fort Hood officials did not respond to interview requests late Monday. They have declined in recent days to say anything about the major, citing the ongoing investigation.

Meehan said he learned of Hasan's prosecution requests from another base psychiatrist. That psychiatrist could not be reached for comment Monday.

The revelations add to a portrait of Hasan as a man at odds with many of those around him – emotionally, religiously and ideologically. He was, by various accounts, lonely, paranoid and increasingly zealous in his fundamentalist Islamic beliefs. He had been writing e-mails to a radical cleric in Yemen who called the U.S. war on terror a "war against Muslims" and advocated killing soldiers.

It wasn't clear Monday what information Hasan received from patients and what became of his requests for prosecution. ABC News, citing anonymous sources, reported that his superiors rejected the requests, and that investigators suspect this triggered the shootings.

Hasan may have been legally justified in reporting what patients disclosed, said Patrick McLain, a Dallas lawyer who specializes in military defense work and is not involved in the Hasan case. But it's impossible to be sure without knowing exactly what they said, he added.

"He was right on his authority to report it," said the ex-Marine, who formerly served as a court-martial judge. The Army teaches all service members that they have a duty to report evidence of war crimes.

Hasan's civilian lawyer in Central Texas, retired Col. John P. Galligan, did not respond to interview requests Monday. His client remains in a San Antonio military hospital, paralyzed from the waist down by police gunfire and facing premeditated murder charges.

Pain and guilt

Meehan, the Fort Hood captain, expressed skepticism with Hasan's requests that patients be prosecuted. "They're going in there confessing their pain and their guilt," he said, describing soldiers' postwar visits to therapists. "He's trying to turn it into a war crime."

Meehan recently wrote a book called Beyond Duty, depicting his traumatic experience as a tank platoon leader in Iraq. It describes a strike he ordered that accidentally killed an Iraqi family with six children – the sort of "collateral damage" that McLain said was clearly distinct from a war crime.'"


What a disgrace that our brave soldiers were forced to deal with Hasan after the stresses of deployment in a war zone. Shame on our military and politicians for fearing Islam more than regarding the welfare of our troops.

Notice that we only hear these stories with an Islamic angle. No Buddhist, Mormon, Jew, or Christian terror attacks to report. Oh, the fruits of Islam.

UPDATE: Hasan signed his e-mails with “Praise Be to Allah.”
