From CBS:
Officials say a shooting suspect at Fort Hood has been identified as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who they say was an Army mental health professional.
A law enforcement official said Hasan, believed to be in his late 30s, was killed after opening fire at the base. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
A source tells the CBS News investigates team that Hasan is a licensed psychiatrist in Bethesda, Md. He is a drug and rehab specialist who got his Virginia psychiatry license July 12, 2005.
It was not known whether he was treating people at the base.
A possible motive was unclear.
However, a source told AP that Hasan got a poor performance evaluation for Army hospital work.
Austin’s Statesman.com reports that Jeff Sadosky, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, said the senator had been told that Hasan was upset about his upcoming deployment to Iraq.
Officials says it was not clear what Hasan’s religion was, but investigators are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name or if he may have changed his name and converted to the Islamic faith at some point.
Islam is incompatible with Western civilization. Islam defines “us” as less than human. Thus we get this.
We might not be able to control the crazies, the nuts, or the radicals, but surely we can keep the Islamic barbarian from our shores.
UPDATE: BREITBART has a story that reveals Major. Hasan has posted his opposition to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars (hey–must have been a Democrat) and his approval of suicide bombers.

When you say not being able to control the crazies, the nuts or the radicals are you referring to “Bat Shit Crazy” Bachmann and teabagger wingnuts?
Great job by the wingnuts in the NY 23rd on Tuesday. With their help the GOP lost a seat they’ve held since the Civil War. They sure showed us liberals…by giving us an additional seat in the House of Representatives!
Another pretty embarrassing display by wingnuttia today on Capitol Hill. A paltry 4,000 bought and paid for protesters showed up. Then again, Michelle “Basic Math is Beyond Me” Malkin is probably claiming hundreds of thousands came.
And let’s not forget the inspirational leadership of the Boner. Nice to see that he can’t tell the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Reading and comprehension has never been his strong point. I guess he should just stick to the tanning bed and the putting green.
Actually, 20,000 showed up, per pictures I’ve seen.
Out of that 20,000, only 9 people were arrested–and guess who? Your crazy buddies from Code Pink.
NY-23–actually the Dems won the seat some 24 years ago–can’t believe everything you read on dailykos, you know….
Once again, you have it wrong, our movement is truly grassroots and it was probably enough to scare most of the Bluedogs enough to vote down this Marxist healthcare takeover sponsored by America’s own communist party.
Who was that Democratic rep elected back in circa 1984? A Democrat being elected the year of the Reagan landslide? Hard to believe.
According to Larry Sabato of the non-partisan Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, the last Democrat to represent the area encompassing the district was elected during the second term of Grant (1872).
I’ll send you a map of the district indicating which counties were last represented by a non-Republican…pretty much all back in the 1800s.
Whatever the case, thanks for helping us elect another Democrat to pass health care reform. Communist? Marxist? Really???
Huge subsidies to pad the pockets of the private health insurance industry with highly restricted access to a public option. No consideration at all by Obama, Pelosi or Reid of a single-payer system like those “Marxists” in Canada or the UK have.
Communist? Marxist? Maybe the term you’re looking for is “common sense reform.”
