The Fort Hood killer psychiatrist's case of pre-traumatic stress disorder couldn't be more clear.

Especially if it's true that Major Nidal Malik Hasan defended suicide bombing in an Internet post as a heroic, even life-saving, measure.

Perhaps we'll learn as details unfold that Hasan — himself a suicide killer — was one of the Army's psychiatrists and psychologists who were pressured during the first five years of the Iraq War to not diagnose screwed-up soldiers as suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Instead, the Army's doctors were diagnosing soldiers as supposedly having "personality disorder," a pre-existing condition for which they wouldn't qualify for treatment. The military had a financial motive — keep healthcare costs down — in addition to the motive of covering up the huge PTSD problems of returning soldiers.

Who knows Hasan's motives at this point? (The WashPost has some good tidbits on his being a shrink assigned to study soldiers' trauma.) But perhaps his horribly twisted thinking was exacerbated by his legitimate frustration that Army docs like him were pressured for years to screw the screwed-up soldiers sent to them for diagnoses and treatment.

It's for sure that Hasan, like every other mental-health practitioner in the military, knew about that scandalous situation. Since 2007 or so, it has been laid out well in many mainstream outlets.

Philadelphia Inquirer staffers are maintaining a sense of humor about their bankrupt paper — even if their mood is getting darker and darker. The headline atop today's Jobbing column: "Prevent workplace deaths. Lay off workers."

The Inquirer is being drawn and quartered by various creditors, and its takeover by a real-estate mogul seems imminent. (Read the paper's own story here.) The Inquirer's already been shredded by layoffs, like almost every other paper. So if Jobbing columnist Jane Von Bergen's lead paragraph on a story abut workplace fatalities sounds a little breathless, maybe she just climbed down from a ledge:

The report and its accompanying statistical breakdowns indicate that no CEOs recently jumped off buildings or were shot to death in their corner offices.

David Kellerman, the acting CFO of Freddie Mac, has committed suicide, according to breaking reports.

Kellerman, who was only 41, was found dead at his home in suburban D.C. Few details are available at this second, but the AP says TV outlet WUSA says his wife told cops it was a suicide.

It's early days, but adding to the mystery at least right now is that Kellerman was named the acting chief financial officer only last September, when the government-sponsored mortgage lender was placed under conservatorship. So he wasn't one of the goniffs who brought Freddie to its knees.
