the 13 who were killed here at fort hood. testimony we have heard today, suggests some of them were shot in the back. also interesting, of note, discussed in this 39-a panel session, how major hasan has authorized the release of his sanity board report. you remember hasan exclusively gave fox news channel pages of that 49-page document through his civil lawyer and later new york times. it was a report written by a three-person panel who interviewed the army psychologist back in 2010 to see whether or not he was competent to stand trial. well, that is privileged information, not available to the prosecution previously. but today, the judge repeatedly asked hasan if he was sure that he wanted to waive that privilege, meaning that the government could potentially now have access to this report and use the information in it against him? hasan, said yes, he wanted to waive that privilege. pretty big and interestingly, an
fort hood shooting the military trial of the army psychologist is about to begin. a former jag officer breaks down the case next. the staff sergeant sitting across from me, he was crawling on the ground. his left shoulder was limp. i reached down toward the ground to grab him. as i was kneeling and pulling him toward the door, i look up and i turn around to look behind me and there s mr. hasan. the
peoplere obama put his in power in thede military. absolutely. and all you have to do is look u at fort hood to see that. it was political correctness that prevented army psychologist from reporting major nidal malik hasan and then we had now 13 dead americans. he s gotting paid almost $1,300 while the victims getgett nothi. i think this is ridiculous. i don t think the military ismed place for expression of any kind. but it does appear that he is facing the last form of discrimination, which is you re a christian or you re a and conservative and he s being discriminated against.gain yeah. he s sitting on the bus or back stage before concert minding his own business, not reading out bu loud and they tell him he can t do that. it s outrageous, especially when people will change plans to listen to sean hannity or mark t levin.
psychologist which was major nadal hasan was an army psychologist. that was a huge mistake. these were not normal communications, not consistent with the typical work of an army psychologist. and it was an opportunity that unfortunately was missed. but going to mayor giuliani s point, the fact is i think the controversy surrounding that missed opportunity with major nadal hasan subsided relatively quickly. juliette kyyam standing by, formerly with homeland security, massachusetts. i think we ll be hearing words about who these guys were. jihadists, terrorists, lots of words, and where they come from. so what we should do is sort of focus on the case against them right now because that information will come over time. and it may be, i is to be honest, sometime we never find out. sometimes we don t know what animated a person at a certain moment to go on a killing spree. it could be something like columbine, or it could be something like this.
our military folks, to be screened as properly as they can now. we screen them for things like criminal records and, psychological issues and the problem, we have 1.4 million people in, you know, in uniform and that is a huge population and any population at large you will have characters and we will not to be them from joining but we can be vigilant and alert and when you see something, say something. bill: good reminders. mike barrett in washington, heather. heather: less than two years since one of the worst shooting massacres in american history, november 5th, 2009, 13 people died, 29 others wounded. when a gunman stormed fort hood in texas and opened fire in a crowded room. major nadal hasan, an army psychologist, now charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder, also facing 32 counts of attempted murder, and he could still face even more. prosecutors say that hasan had several e-mail exchanges with
