Damsel and I have the Ft. Hood victims in our thoughts and prayers tonight. We are still following the news as it develops.
Looking around the internet and watching the news, we see various reports and opinions about this horrific event. I found this tweet from K.J. Lopez, who blogs at the NRO Corner, very interesting:
re fort hood: why do we reflexively rule out terrorism?
Given the identity of the alleged shooter, Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, we have to ask the same question.

UPDATE: Talk about the inmates running the asylum – Hasan was an Army psychiatrist!
UPDATE: Col. Terry Lee (RET), a psychiatrist who worked with Hasan, told Fox News that several times Hasan made radical statements and thinly-veiled threats against US involvement in the War on Terror.
“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” Casey 2009
WHO will see to it that this reprobate is taken to task for this sort of treasonous inanity?
God Bless America
There needs to be an investigation into why the Army, the FBI and the CIA all ignored the warning signs exhibited by Hasan. The man is an Islamofacist and a terrorist.
And, yes, Casey needs to spearhead that investigation.
