This article is about the Fort Hood Shooting. What makes it relevant is the evidence which it provides, detailing specific events that should have warned supervisors of Major Nidal Hasan to not promote him, or at least be cautious of him. This could have prevented the deaths of 13 people and wounds of many others. The article discusses different actions done by Hasan that many perceived should have warranted the prevention of his promotions in the army. Some of these actions include a presentation about questioning the U.S. constitution and claiming Islamic law is more important, and frequent poor performance reviews from superiors where he attended medical school. This raises important questions about profiling when trying to prevent crimes.
