I have to wonder if he was even board certified? Becoming an MD is the easy part, it is everything that comes after wards which is tough.

I take it the Maj flunked out on this one.

Here's his Virginia license info. He's not board certified in Psychiatry:

Board Certification
Recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties, Bureau of Osteopathic Specialists and Boards of Certification, the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry, or Council on Podiatric Medical Education.
(Last Updated 10/13/2009)

He appears to have been too busy studying Islam to learn much about psychiatry. What a cruel joke.

Am trying to let this soak in.... and sort it out. (hat tip to ernestfor pic)

[Freedom2specul8]

What does the MPH stand for on the card?

Doesn't the Jihadist have to try to convert the enemy and give warning before the attack according to Islamic or Koranic law? Do they also have to receive a ‘blessing’ from an Imam or spiritual adviser? Could be interesting if Haman did and to find out who he might have consulted with...

This was a cold-blooded premeditated religious mass murder ritual he conducted. No ‘snapping’ involved.

[Freedom2specul8]

I've never heard that before....but that don't mean anything....I know that the govt claims they get tips, even videos. I don't recall hearing that be a requirement. If they were trying to recruit, they sure didnt try @ the WTC.

Found this
A RESEARCH PROJECT? For what, tips on counseling and slide shows?
FBI: Hasan contacts with AQ part of a research project

"The FBI determined that the e-mails did not warrant an investigation, according to the law enforcement official. Investigators said Hasan’s e-mails were consistent with the topic of his academic research and involved some social chatter and religious discourse."

[Freedom2specul8]

But it MIGHT explain why he targeted those who were suppose to go to afghanistan with him??

[444Flyer]

I think I remember reading something somewhere about the subject going back to 9/11 and the attack in 93’. I'll try to research it or source it tomorrow to see if anything turns up.

medical corp, the promotion to Major was probably tied to completion of training and certification.

I hate the idea of allowing this man to treat psych patients. There are other types of wounds besides gunshots. A bad psychiatrist is worse than a bad surgeon, lots of scars, harder to diagnose and cure.

Masiers of Public Health

[browardchad]

MPH = Master's Degree, Public Health

Earned per this entry on the "Education" tab:

Disaster and Preventive Psychiatry
USUHS/WRAMC
Bethesda, MD USA
Year Fellowship Completed: 2009

That was where he gave an impassioned talk on Islam during a class on environmental health. A classmate objected to the instructor, asking "What does this have to do with environmental health?" and the instructor responded something to the effect, "I'll let him continue."

PC run amuck.

[livius]

Major Nidal Malki Hasan, an Army psychiatrist who had treated soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, unleashed his own frustration and fear of an upcoming deployment to Afghanistan in a hail of bullets at Fort Hood –

Good grief. This is the official line now, I guess. It makes me sick.

[hocndoc]

That should be Masters of Public Health.

Here is a link about some of the info on that card that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up:

[Self-censored comment.]

This, ‘even though the horse is out of the barn, we should still fill his oat bucket’ type of thinking is ridiculous!

[End Times Sentinel]

I'm tired of all this talk of “How did we miss him?”, “How can we get jihadis out of our military?”, and “How do we stop this from happening again?”

I say, let's look for ways to make even finer and more soothing ceremonies for when this happens again.

Prior to 911 a flight school for the big airliners reported
to FBI that several Muslims were attending the flight school and only wanted to know how to fly the big jets and did not want the instructions class's of how to take off or land.

The FBI didn't think that needed investigation either. Had they acted then maybe 911 would have been prevented.
