The American Spectator : Major Hasan -- A True Believer

The American Spectator : Major Hasan -- A True Believer:

Here's a quiz that may appear some day on history tests:

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in November 2009, was:

a) Part of a terror network that had planned attacks on the United States since the 1990s;

b) A deranged psychotic who snapped under the pressure of treating soldiers returning from Iraq and who happened to be a Muslim;

c) A prime example of 'The True Believer,' the lonely, frustrated individual who attaches himself to an overarching cause as a way of compensating for personal disappointments."
