FBI Reassessing Past Look At Fort Hood Suspect

WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly a year before Maj. Nidal Hasan allegedly went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, terrorism investigators conducted an "assessment" of him before deciding he did not pose a threat. After the shooting, the FBI is doing a new assessment - of its own conduct. The Army psychiatrist is believed to have acted alone despite repeated communications - intercepted by authorities - with a radical imam overseas, U.S. officials said Monday. The FBI will conduct an internal review to see whether it mishandled early information about the man accused in the bloody rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 29.

Thousands of prescription pills found in apartment

Thousands of pills, cash and several hand guns are confiscated from the apartment of a former college professor. Police say 57-year-old Paul A. Prosperino was selling prescription drugs from his Walnut Street apartment in Hazard. Police raided the apartment around 1:00 this afternoon. We're told Prosperino was a former professor at Hazard Community and Technical College, but had not worked there for several years. Most of the prescription drugs they confiscated were hydrocodone. Officials say this case is unlike others they've dealt with because of where the pills came from. Operation UNITE officials say Paul Prosperino was getting prescription drug shipments from across the world. Law Enforcement Director with UNITE Dan Smoot says, "We fight drugs coming from Florida, drugs coming from Detroit and from other states, but, this particular incident, they were coming from the country of India. They were being shipped in via a private carrier from India."

The damage from pills

“Drugs, drugs, drugs! They seem to be the main topic of many publications that cross my desk of late.” This is what I said in a column I wrote in 2004, and it still holds true today, especially since the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson. And celebrities from long ago, Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley — not to mention the hundreds of ordinary people who die every year from legal drug combinations written by trusted doctors.
