Hasan is currently off the ventilator in the hospital, after sustaining four gunshot wounds. Therefore, the government will be able to interrogate him. Currently, he is eligible for the death penalty, as the massacre occurred in Texas. Wonder if he'll acquire a taste for electricity, as either way, he's going to get some - either from a guilty conviction or the C.I.A. interrogating him.

You know he was mad when he woke up in the hospital and there were no virgins. He should hope the FBI will be the ones to interrogate him, because if it's the C.I.A., all you're going to hear is a stone-faced man in plainclothes asking a nurse, "How much electricity do you think the grid can give without overloading. No reason, just asking. By the way, if anyone asks, I was never here."

Alleged shooter tied to mosque of 9/11 hijackers

WASHINGTON — The family of the alleged Fort Hood shooter held his mother's funeral at the same Virginia mosque that two Sept. 11 hijackers attended in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.

Whether the Fort Hood shooter associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The family of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 and wounding 29 at the Texas military base, held his mother's funeral at the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper...

Slain Fort Hood soldier's family 'completely blindsided'

November 6, 2009 9:21 p.m. EST -(CNN) -- U.S. Army Pfc. Michael Pearson wasn't much with words, his older brother said through tears, but when he picked up a guitar he let his music speak for him.

"He was a genius as far as we were concerned," Kristopher Craig told CNN affiliate WGN-TV in Chicago, Illinois, late Thursday, reeling from the news that his 21-year-old "little kid brother" was among the 12 soldiers and one civilian killed in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.

Pearson grew up in Bolingbrook, Illinois, with two brothers and a sister. "He was really living his life playing guitar," Craig said. "When he picked up a guitar, we all understood that he was expressing himself."...

"It's unfathomable," he said. "I couldn't imagine something like that -- attacking another soldier. It's just ridiculous. I don't understand it."... 

"His father is still in shock and very angry," Sheryll Pearson said. "We're all very angry."  "Nobody knows how to handle it. It's hard to believe he's gone," Craig told WGN, choking back tears.

"I'm in terrible condition,'' he told the Chicago Sun-Times in a phone interview from his hospital room.

He said he was "shocked and surprised ... that it happened on post, the place where I get dressed, the place I trust the most in my Army career." ...
