11/6/09: Let’s see. He’s a Muslim, and he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” before the slaughter. I wonder what that’s about.

Update: Thought I was being gutsy posting an unconfirmed photo of the killer, but MSNBC’s just published it. 
Later…CBS will have a live-feed of the press conference at Fort Hood, which hasn’t started yet (7:31 p.m. ET). News people are walking around waiting and talking. Do they know we can hear them? Don’t say anything you’ll regret, guys!
Even later…Nidal Malik Hasan is still alive.
————————————————————————————–
The dead murderer at Fort Hood was a shrink and an Army major named Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan. Hasan was headed to Iraq and was “upset about it.”
The obvious question is why didn’t he just kill himself if he was so distraught? Why kill and wound so many others? What an idiot. Rest in peace? I doubt it.
