Journalist Dahr Jamail reports on his early research into the Fort Hood shootings and Dr. Hasan.
Jamshid A. Marvasti is a psychiatrist and author of the book: Psychiatrist Jamshid A. Marvasti is author of the book, âPsycho-Political Aspects of Suicide Warriors, Terrorism and Martyrdom, A Critical View from âBoth Sidesâ in Regard to Cause and Cureâ. Itâs a book that brings perspective to the terminology used in the war on terror.
On November 6th we asked Dr. Marvasti to evaluate the possible state of mind of Nodal Malik Hasan, who is alleged to have killed thirteen people, wounding 29 at Fort Hood.
Did Dr. Hasan kill 13 people and wound 29 others at Fort Hood because he was suffering from a form of PTSD known as âvicarious traumaâ?
We offer our sympathy to the family of First Sergeant Jeff McKinney who died in Iraq in 2007.
