Might this have been the source?

Apologists and victimologists are digging deep for accounts of discrimination and hostility toward Hasan for his faith. Could it be that he "started it?"
    According to The Washington Post, Major Nidal Malik Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.

    Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    A source who attended the presentation told the paper, "It was really strange. The senior doctors looked really upset."

    The Powerpoint, entitled, "The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military," consisted of 50 slides, according to a copy obtained by the Post.
Why would you think fellow military and physicians should have quietly accepted his beliefs uncriticially?

I'm just asking. Because Hasan had access to returning military who may have needed counseling, was the long term damage and planted bombs he imposed on the military the advice and counsel he was allowed to give as his supervisors looked the other way? Is the Army so PC that no one suggested he was unfit to treat anyone, even himself?

"The tide of pronouncements and ruminations pointing to every cause for this event other than the one obvious to everyone in the rational world continues apace. Commentators, reporters, psychologists and, indeed, army spokesmen continue to warn portentously, "We don't yet know the motive for the shootings." "
