Report: Hasan Wanted Patient War Crimes Trials
November 17, 2009
Dallas Morning News

Fort Hood massacre suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sought to have some of his patients prosecuted for war crimes based on statements they made during psychiatric sessions with him, a captain who served on the base said Monday.

Other psychiatrists complained to superiors that Hasan's actions violated doctor-patient confidentiality, Capt. Shannon Meehan told The Dallas Morning News.

One day after the Nov. 5 attack that killed 13 and wounded 29, a Fort Hood official said she had never received complaints about Hasan's job performance. Col. Kimberly Kesling, deputy commander of clinical services at the base's Darnall Army Medical Center, also said he was a "hardworking, dedicated young man who gave great care to his patients."

Fort Hood officials did not respond to interview requests late Monday. They have declined in recent days to say anything about the major, citing the ongoing investigation. .

Meehan said he learned of Hasan's prosecution requests from another base psychiatrist. That psychiatrist could not be reached for comment Monday.

1. Wow, that's news to me. So much for that confidentiality. He sounds

like he was much more of a hindrance than a help as a doctor.

2. I still have no idea of truth yet.

The Pentagon propaganda arm is doing its thing, namely throwing turds in the punch bowl.

3. There is that. I should be more skeptical. nt
