The wrong question
United States military doctors are reported to have worried the Fort Hood jihadi was "psychotic". They would have been better advised to worry about the kind of psychotic break where an angel descends from heaven to give you a rape manual written in Arabic.
We have historical precedent, in other words.
Psychiatrists and medical officials who oversaw Major Nidal Hasan, accused of opening fire on fellow soldiers at the Fort Hood base in Texas last week, held a series of meetings between the northern spring of 2008 and the spring of this year to discuss serious concerns about his work and his behaviour, NPR reported.
"Put it this way. Everybody felt that if you were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, you would not want Nidal Hasan in your foxhole," one official was quoted as saying.
