official said Thursday. The murder charges are expected to be announced
Thursday afternoon. Hasan, 39, an Army psychiatrist, allegedly opened fire

deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. The attack at Fort Hood's Soldier
Readiness Processing Center also left 38 people wounded.

* --Memos from Eikenberry state extra troops 'not a good idea' until Karzai
government tackles corruption, according to reports* 12 Nov 2009 The US
ambassador in Kabul has warned against plans to send tens of thousands more
troops to Afghanistan, until President Hamid Karzai's government
demonstrates that it is willing to tackle the corruption. Karl Eikenberry
sent two classified cables to Washington in the past week expressing his
concern over proposals to deploy as many as 40,000 extra troops while the
Karzai government remains dogged by accusations of incompetence and
corruption, according to reports from Washington. The existence of the memos
was revealed as Barack Obama held a war council at the White House to
discuss the final four options for deployment of extra US troops in an
effort to stave off defeat at the hands of the Taliban.
