What a piece of work this guy Hasan was. He signed his emails with "PRAISE BE TO ALLAH" and he broached the subject of bringing war crimes charges against his patients multiple times despite his ethical obligation to maintain patient confidentiality.
He also called his immediate supervisor an 'infidel' and told her she would be 'ripped to shreds' and 'burn in hell.' Did she take action against him? It kind of sounds like she just stood there and took it. Unbelievable.
From ABC News:
Major Nidal Malik Hasan's military superiors repeatedly ignored or rebuffed his efforts to open criminal prosecutions of soldiers he claimed had confessed to "war crimes" during psychiatric counseling, according to investigative reports circulated among federal law enforcement officials.
On Nov. 4, the day after his last attempt to raise the issue, he took extra target practice at Stan's shooting range in nearby Florence, TX and then closed a safe deposit box he had at a Bank of America branch in Killeen, according to the reports. A bank employee told investigators Hasan appeared nervous and said, "You'll never see me again."
Colonel Anthony Febbo at Fort Hood reportedly told investigators he was twice contacted by Hasan, on Nov. 2 and a week earlier in October, about the question of whether he could legally provide information on "war crimes" he had learned in the course of psychiatric counseling he provided soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
His supervisor in the Department of Psychiatry, Captain Naomi Surman, told investigators that Hasan raised similar issues with her in conversations in October, according to documents reviewed by ABC News.
Captain Surman told investigators that Hasan had formally contacted military prosecutors to report patients he was evaluating, according to people briefed on the exchange. She said Hasan signed his e-mails with "Praise Be to Allah."
Legal analysts say psychiatrists are strictly bound by the rules of patient confidentiality except in cases where they might become aware of crimes about to be committed. (Ed. Note: Unless you're Muslim - then you're 'special')
Captain Surman, who was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan with Hasan on Nov. 2 told investigators that Hasan had both social and academic issues in his medical training. She said that on one occasion, Hasan told her she was an infidel who would be "ripped to shreds" and "burn in hell" because she was not Muslim.

WTF...unbelievable.
People are willing to play with the lives of others in order to please the PC gods.
Speaking of politically INCORRECT - I think if that son of a gun had talked that smack to me I would have bit@$ slapped him. But, that's just me.
And to hear that Carl Levin cancelled the Senate Armed Services cttee hearing on the matter because Obama told him to!
I want to bit@$ slap him, too.
