Now How Is Obama Going To Explain Fort Hood--Is It Still Workplace Violence?

Will Obama overturn this verdict? Will he grant Hasan clemency? What will be his reaction? We expect to hear the White House say something mealy mouthed about the justice system working but not a condemnation of the psychiatrist-killer.

We also expect that as he goes out the door, when he leaves office, that he will grant clemency to Hasan. We hope that we are wrong.

Fort Hood Gunman Found Guilty on All Counts A military jury on Friday found Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan guilty of carrying out the largest mass murder at a military installation in American history. The verdict, delivered by 13 senior Army officers, came 17 days after Major Hasan’s court-martial began on Aug. 6, and nearly four years after the day that Major Hasan killed and wounded dozens of unarmed soldiers at a medical deployment center at Fort Hood here. Major Hasan, a psychiatrist who turned on the very soldiers he devoted much of his 15-year military career to helping, sat in a wheelchair in combat fatigues, an American flag patch on his upper right sleeve. Inside a Fort Hood courtroom filled with soldiers, military police and the relatives of those he killed, but none of his own family members, he had no reaction when the verdict was announced.
