So, this asshole is back in the news.

Nidal Hasan was the US Army psychiatrist who was counseling soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009 when he became a self-radicalized Muslim and decided to go all jihad rather than being deployed to Afghanistan.
The US citizen of Palestinian descent shot and killed 13 US soldiers; he wounded 32 others.
At the outset of his assault, Hasan cried out "Allahu Akbar ... and started shooting at the soldiers sitting defenseless in chairs," lead prosecutor Mulligan said.
Internet searches on Hasan's computer used keywords like "terrorist killing," "innocent," "Quran," "fatwas" and "suicide bombings," Mulligan said.
Hasan is representing himself (typical idiot move favored by narcissists).
He started off his spiel by taking credit for being the shooter and explaining that he was on the wrong side and then converted to the right side.
He told the panel in his opening statement, "We mujahedeen are trying to establish the perfect religion." But, he added, "I apologize for the mistakes I made in this endeavor."
Hasan told his family he had been taunted after the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001. Investigations that followed the killings found he had been communicating via e-mail with Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni-American radical cleric killed by a U.S. drone attack in 2011.
One of his victims, Alonzo Lunsford, testified against him today.
Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted.
