Fort Hood massacre suspect Major Nidal Malik Hasan is awake and speaking to medical staff at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Fox News Radio reports.On one hand it certainly wouldn't have bothered me if Hasan got an early start on his eternity in hell, however if he lives we might get some information out of him that could be worthwhile.
A U.S. Army hospital spokesman confirms Hasan is conscious and able to talk.
Hospital spokeswoman Maria Gallegos says Hasan is in critical but stable condition.
Waterboarding anyone?
I guess I could accept a remaining life full of painful debilitating injuries from the shooting.
And then hell.
Still wouldn't be justice, but it would be a start.
And check out Michelle Malkin's post on Hasan's business card.

There's a serious conundrum here, though. We are supposed to share our faith in Christ, and now there's these Muslims to deal with. It's not even a question any more of taking the gospel to foreign lands. They're right here.
I don't know -- I'm muddling around with this comment. But Christians need to -- we need to recognize that Hasan was already "in hell" because he really believed this crap. Because he believed it, he shot a whole bunch of innocent human beings. He is in desperate need of the love of God. He's already in hell and was in hell even before he pulled the trigger. What he needs is saving if ever anyone ever did. He needs a miracle. He needs what only Jesus can accomplish.
If one is of the belief that Mr Hasan is "in Hell" because of his deeds, then one has to assume that his religion is of the same belief. If this is not true, then we can deplore his actions, but only Jesus can deliver the message. If Mr Hasan is a devout Muslim the Christians are infidels and may be killed with no religious sanction. A conundrum indeed. As perfect an example for keeping religion out of government as can be stated. If individuals seek to proselytize among those of other faith, it is one thing. If a government does, it is quite another.
My heart and prayers go out to all the victims, the victims family and friends.
From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.
The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?)
Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real ticked me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.
The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me.
I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.
This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.
I have an idea for the execution.
Round 1: all weapons unloaded. "Ready ... Aim ..." clickety-click
Round 2: Blanks all around.
Round 3: No blanks, but everybody fires to miss.
Round 4: No blanks, no misses.
The reason military firing squads have always had one rifle with blanks is so that each man can think that maybe he had the blank and didn't kill the convict.
In this case, no blanks so that each man can know he did.
I can't buy into the story that he was harassed. He was a Major. Sergeants and Lieutenants do not harass Majors.
After reading Montana's posting I think he may be in need of some counseling.
I think ZZMike has the right solution in his #4. This would appear to be the most logical and best option to end the problem.
I guess the US military will carry out detail questioning as to why he did it and will prove all of us wrong.
After that happens, I know some will still believe there point still has some merit.
Earlier this year Sgt. John Russell, 44 (Catholic), of Sherman, Texas, is in custody at Camp Liberty in Baghdad where he apparently opened fire at a combat stress clinic Monday, killing five U.S. soldiers.
