Fort Hood: More Questions Than Answers Fort Hood: More Questions Than Answers »
By Rabbi Yaakov Spivak
There are a number of things that don’t add up when it comes to the case of Nidal Malik Hasan. A fellow army officer tells us that he had complained about his upcoming deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq.
Question: If he didn’t want to be deployed why didn’t he just say “no,” and go to jail. Why did he have to murder 13 soldiers and wound another 30?
Question: If he snapped, why did he murder the people in the ward that were under his care? Why didn’t he go after the people who ordered them deployed, Heaven Forbid?
We will not have definitive answers to these questions until he is questioned by interrogators. The facts as we know them now, however, do not let us dismiss the possibility that this act was planned as a statement.
We also cannot dismiss the possibility that Hasan was part of a larger picture, part of a possible fifth column in the military.
While the previous points are not definitely provable at this time, they cannot be ignored and must be investigated immediately.
