My “Psychotically Incorrect Politics” (or Kellogs Rice Krispies – What did you think it was made of)” award goes to… a U.S. Army (lack of) Intelligence that led to the murders at Fort Hood, Texas.

Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major serving as a psychiatrist killed 13 and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas.  An American-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, he once lectured other psychiatrists on Islam, and stated that non-believers would be sent to hell, decapitated, set on fire, and have burning oil poured down their throats. According to The Associated Press, Hasan’s lecture also “justified suicide bombings.” Officials at Walter Reed Medical Center repeatedly expressed concern about Hasan’s behavior during the entire six years he was there. In the spring of 2008 (and on later occasions) several key officials met to discuss what to do about Hasan. According to NPR, fellow students and faculty were strongly troubled by Hasan’s behavior, which they described as “disconnected,” “aloof,” “paranoid,” “belligerent,” and “schizoid.” He was also the subject of at least one FBI investigation prior to the shootings but the FBI terrorism task force had determined him not to be a threat prior to the shooting.
