More disturbing details

I'd like to know why - in the era of increased cyber security and background checks and increased terror alerts this bastard wasn't put out of not only the Army, but his misery as well!

Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

[...]

One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog thatequates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade tosave the lives of his comrades.

They knew something was hinky, and yet he was still allowed to roam free on a military base, interact with Soldiers, and walk into a victim disarmament zone and shoot up the place.

Wonderful. Just great.

And then there's this.

Hasan attended prayers regularly when he lived outside Washington, often in his Army uniform, said Faizul Khan, a former imam at a mosque Hasan attended in Silver Spring, Md. He said Hasan was a lifelong Muslim.

"I got the impression that he was a committed soldier," Khan said. He spoke often with Hasan about Hasan's desire for a wife.

On a form filled out by those seeking spouses through a program at the mosque, Hasan listed his birthplace as Arlington, Va., but his nationality as Palestinian, Khan said.

"I don't know why he listed Palestinian," Khan said, "He was not born in Palestine."

Hmmmm... sympathies with Palestinian cause even though he wasn't even born in the area.  DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!
