#4 Kay Bailey Hutchison is just as bad. She's speculating the primary shooter was about to be deployed to Iraq and was 'upset' about it. Spit!

#6 Yes - that's the obvious next question. Also along those lines - how and where do we separate foreign nationals using our bases for training. I recall numerous stories along these lines, all the way from foreign students at USMA, to the School for (of?) the America's at Ft. Benning (?), to various other installations.

I expect we'll see zero to no background reporting on military security and intelligence, and plenty on truly irrelevant topics such as gun control and the NRA.

#7 As crazy as this might sound to civilians, military installations are "gun-free" zones just as much as any college campus.

#10 Right now they are trying to find out if the Muslim was a convert. Also there are two others involved and captured.

#13 military installations are "gun-free" zones

Only in theory, Grunt, IIRC. One can register a gun with the MP's and keep it secured IIRC.

#14 Malik Nadal Hasan (PHOTO): Key Details Emerge About Fort Hood Shooting Suspect

Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because military records are confidential.

The Virginia-born soldier was single with no children. He was 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. He received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., in 2001. At Walter Reed, he did his internship, residency and a fellowship.

#15 Hasan's cousin is being interviewed by FoxNews.

"Hasan was a good American". "He was being harrassed by his military colleagues".

"He's always been Muslim [not a convert]".

#17 What are chances this was the promised Iranian payback for the Iranian generals that were killed by suicide bomb a couple of weeks back?

This could be tit for tat.

#20 Now is the time for our President to lead us in group national apology.

Raise your hand if you were surprised to learn the murderer was a Muslim. Yup just like I thought.

I pray the repose of the souls of those murdered and for their families.

God save us from our President and his cabinet.

#23 Why won't anybody say the scumbag is a MOOOSSSSLIMMM?

I get nervous watching Shep Smith (has he declared a gender yet?) but you would think Fox News could loan him a pair of kiwis and have him say it was another apostle of of the religion of peace.

#24 Update
A source tells NPR's Joseph Shapiro that Hasan was put on probation early in his postgraduate work at the Uniformed Service University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. He was disciplined for proselytizing about his Muslim faith with patients and colleagues, according to the source, who worked with him at the time.
