From ABC News:

Accused Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan Can't Find a Bank Willing to Cash His Checks

And his attorney says he's being discriminated against. Oh yeah, is the Army discriminating against him by still paying him?

The attorney for the man charged with last year's deadly shooting rampage at Texas' Fort Hood Army post says his client, who is still on the military's payroll, can't find a bank willing to cash his checks.

For once, financial institutions are making good decisions.

While Maj. Nidal Hasan sits in Bell County Jail in Belton, Texas, waiting for his next hearing in October, his lawyer, John Galligan, has been shopping around to banks trying to find a financial institution willing to take on his client as a customer.

Given the people he chooses to associate with, perhaps Galligan can look up an old client with money laundering techniques.

"Various banks have refused, without any specificity, to permit Hasan to open a checking account where he can have his military pay deposited," Galligan told ABC News.

Any specificity? Is it possible the owners of these banks are protesting the fact that the murderer is still on the government dole?

Hasan still is receiving payment from the U.S. military because, according to a spokesman, he is still a service member .

"He is a major in the United States Army and will therefore be paid until he is no longer a major," said Lt. Col. Chris Garver. "So yes, he's still receiving payment."

According to Army records, Hasan stands to receive a check for about $6,000 every month. He is also eligible for what the Army calls an "incentive pay" that could be as much as $15,000 annually. Galligan declined to comment on how much Hasan is worth.

That's $87,000 per year for a murderer who just happens to be Islamic. Does anybody think a Christian or Jew would still be receiving checks? No, because the Obama administration would have called it a terror attack from minute one. And whatever happened to "suspended without pay"?

Galligan said that among the banks into which he has tried to deposit Hasan's checks, the one that declined him and upset him the most was the Fort Hood National Bank.

"The bank's motto is 'serving those who serve,' but apparently that's not true in Hasan's case," said Galligan.

Just what did Hasan serve, Mr. Galligan? 13 bullets in the 13 infidels he murdered without return vollies?

Why hasn't Texas disbarred Galligan?
