UPDATE:: Coincidence? He just happens to have that name?

The suspected gunman was identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. He was killed and two other suspects have been apprehended, Lt. Robert W. Cone said.

The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn’t sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.

The MSM is spinning like a tornado trying to avoid the obvious.

He is a convert. Ever hear of the fanaticism of the converted?

Update II: Well. It would appear the shooter isn’t with six dozen virgins but is instead alive in the hospital.

Cone identified the lone gunman as Major Malik Nadal Hasan, a psychiatrist who reportedly didn’t believe in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and wanted out of the military before he was set to be deployed overseas.

Hasan was in stable condition condition at a local hospital Thursday night, Cone said after

He may also have been infected with Jihaditis. Color me shocked.

Federal law enforcement officials say Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.

The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author.

One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates homicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.

“To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause,” said the Internet posting. “Scholars have paralled (sic) this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers.”
