I could see this coming when Shep first blathered on about PTSD, harrasment, blah, blah, blah. Someone issued orders on how to frame this story. Even FOX is marching lockstep. It's a gut opinion, no proof.

[Shire]

Oh my gosh! Could you just imagine what would happen if for one whole day everybody had to say it like it is! No spin, just the truth.

[Huskrrrr]

Of course Hasan is getting Cadillac health care right now as well.

[Ken522]

I don’t go along with this psychobabble - he was, is, and will be evil ...

[CyberAnt]

Just got an email from Newsmax - Nidal went to the same Mosque in VA as 2 of the 9/11 hijackers.

Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Nidal knew them, but to me it says that he was getting the same radical teaching.

Home grown terrorism .. the latest scourge to be foisted upon America. But .. our PC attitude will get a lot more people killed.

I GUESS THAT HE WAS TRAUMATIZED AND NOW DESERVES A PURPLE HEART AND THE POLICE ACTED STUPIDLY.

[NurdlyPeon]

If you are someone who disagrees with that, then I would suggest you stop reading now.

Hell, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't stop reading this thing once they read the title and the 'Psychology Today' part.

[mommyq]

It’s crap like this that makes us distrust shrinks.

[politicalmerc]

Can you imagine what they would say if a white man shot that many people in a mosque? He would be the “face of evil.”

[texican01]

BS! Psychiatry has about as much credibility as your typical witch doctor

[Bahbah]

We can’t know for sure, but I believe that the threat of deployment of Major Hasan to first hand have to go into combat and witness and even support Americans killing Muslims was just too much.

He was going to be in the rear with the gear. He wasn't going to "witness" anything. As Sarah says, bogus.

[M Kehoe]

Major Nidal Malik Hasan was not a bad person. He was even possibly a good person. But he was a very sick person who did a terrible thing.

Ok Mark, cool, then lets' hang him when he has recovered. Gives all the dead and wounded families closure. Right, Mark?

The PC back flips continue.....

[PapaBear3625]

Even FOX is marching lockstep. It's a gut opinion, no proof.

You know that a member of the Saudi royal family owns 5.7% of the parent company of FOX? And that this block of shares is all that's keeping Murdoch in control?

[I_Like_Spam]

I don’t know how anyone can jump to a conclusion that Hasan is insane- even before the individual is even interrogated.

It would seem a lot more prudent to assume that he is instead part of a larger conspiracy- until its proven otherwise.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

The left does not believe in evil. (Conservatism excepted).

Evil walks the Earth in many forms. Evil will never be defeated until we look it in the eye, call it for what it is and then destroy it.

[babygene]

Give me a f-—ing break idiot. (not the poster but the writer).

Islam IS evil...

[Zeppo]

Let me guess - this genius probably also believes that Stalin and Hitler were merely “misunderstood”...

[flynmudd]

I’m with you. I call BS!

[Verginius Rufus]

They should change the name of this magazine from Psychology Today to Psychobabble Today.
