Multiple newspapers and blogs picked up the story, noting that U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the military psychia- trist accused of opening fire at the Fort Hood army base in Texas last Thursday, had attended a number of HSPI events. Internet searches and footage of Hasan attending the events linked him with the institute, but HSPI Director Frank Cil- luffo said Friday Hasan only attended the events as an audience member.
