Spokesman Col. John Rossi told reporters on Saturday at Fort Hood that he is not sure if Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is able to communicate.

Hasan was shot during an exchange of gunfire during Thursday's attack. The military moved him on Friday to Brooke Medical Center in San Antonio, about 150 miles (240 kilometres) southwest of Fort Hood. Army officials have said Hasan is "not able to converse."

Thirteen people were killed and 29 others wounded in Thursday's attack at Fort Hood.

Funny that he was chosen to become a psychiatrist, where most mental illnesses can be treated with science.

Don't science & religion contradict each other? How can a person who has studied any type of science beyond a kindergarten level believe in the stories told in relious books?

Sad that the army chose political correctness over safety by ignoring this guys obvious delusions about religion.
