I WAS RIGHT ABOUT HASAN...
Been reading alot on this guy as alot more information is coming out finally... eyewitnesses, and this guy's own cleric, etc...
His cleric, his religious leader, has stated that Hassan confessed to his local Mosque that he... "was conflicted between his devotion to Islam and his allegiance to the U.S. military"
Other sources have stated the same now.
He had been posting on various blogs, and saying things such as, that suicde bombers are comparable to soldiers falling on grenades to protect others, because they are both "sacrificing themselves for a greater purpose" and that Americans are "agressors, and the Muslims should rise up against the agressors"
He cleared out his apartment DAYS before the shooting, and told his landlord he was being deployed on Friday (in a few days time)
Some more reports...
Major Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood terrorist shouted "Allahu Akbar!" - an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" - before opening fire on his fellow soldiers. Americans are all too familiar with this Arabic phrase, it's the same war cry that Jihadists all over the world shout before detonating their bombs.

Soldiers who witnessed the rampage reported that the gunman shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — an Arabic phrase for "God is great!" — before opening fire, said Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the base commander.

A cousin of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan said that he began a stricter practice of Islam after his mother died nine years ago, observing the five daily prayers and taking other aspects of the faith more seriously after a loss that affected him deeply.
"He became religious after the death of his mother. Before that he was more secular,"

Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre described today how Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.
Soldier Keara Bono survived the onslaught at Fort Hood after Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.
Investigators believe more than 100 shots were fired from Hasan's gun in a matter of minutes. He was described as calm and methodical in his attack, pausing only to reload. Soldier Keara Bono survived the onslaught although she was wounded slightly in the back and grazed in the head.
Bono told "Good Morning America" today that she initially thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to fire was a drill. She didn't believe it was real even when she felt her own blood, she said.
"Then I looked to my left and right and I saw people that were bleeding," she said. That's when Bono realized that Hasan's rampage wasn't a drill.

At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.
They had not confirmed Hasan is the author of the posting, and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case.
Federal authorities seized Hasan's computer Friday during a search of his apartment in Killeen, Texas, said a U.S. military official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation.
His anger was noted by a classmate, who said Hasan ''viewed the war against terror'' as a ''war against Islam.''
