[...] However, none of this is meant to suggest that his fanaticism and religious conviction does not have a starring role. Perhaps this situation will force some of the political correctness that prevents action to the back of the damn line so that threats can be taken seriously at the time when the hairs on the back of the neck first go up. Which sounds like a long time ago in Hasan’s case. [...]

I think the obvious solution here is to give more money to DHS and shred more of the Constitution like we did in the Patriot Act. If government can’t protect us then the solution is more power for the government. /s

ok…i’m a little late here. i haven’t read all of the comments. is there any report from fbi, army, cia had any knowledge of any imminent plan to kill? sure, he made comments, speaches, web posts, but to my knowledge (and please prove me wrong!!) he said nothing like “i’m gonna kill me some grunts today!”
so the fbi knew. and i bet the cia knew, too. and i am willing to wager that they were tracking hasan, all his contacts and seeing if they couldn’t learn a little more about hasan and al qaede before they scooped him up.
remember the recent arrests in new york? they were watching the terrorists for some time and than something spooked the feds and nypd terrorist task force to spring to action.
probably the same here with hasan. i don’t think counter-terror got dumb that fast under obama. if we look at the leaks of political hacks under bush’s cia, you don’t think career cops would spill the beans? remember when air marshalls blew the whistle?
i’m willing to give the career law enforcement and army officials the benefit of the doubt here. i think (unless anyone can prove me wrong) that they were on to hasan, and seeing where and to whom he led them. had they known he would “go muslim,” they would have rounded him up.

Good point.A statistic that destroys the moral relativity argument:

In the past decade-Number of terrorist attacks launched by religious fanatics:

Muslims: Over 12,000
Christians -0-
Buddhists -0-
Jews -0-

I rest my case.

So, if a soldier ever said that he put Christ above his oath to the United States, would that be a grave conflict that the military would think strange?

Dan Minardi on November 9, 2009 at 8:33 PM

Nice attempt at moral relevance Danny. The difference is that Christ does not teach that the killing of infidels is justified.

A couple of points need to be cleared up mucho pronto and it involves political correctness and possible poltical cotrrectness affecting fighting response capabilities.

1 How much did the Army know about Hasan’s Muslim fanaticism and apparent attempts to contact Al Qaeda? Several ancillary questions arise from this among them being surveillance, consideration of a dishonorable discharge and why this creature was considered for transfer to a Al Qaeda-infested combat zone,

2 Hasan was using a FN 5.7 pistol of European manufacture with a 20 bullet magazine capacity. The Army commander at ft. Hood, albeit vague on details, was specific enough to state that “more than 100 bullets” has been expended by one individual. Considering that some of the bullets might have been counter-fire, let’s assume that Hasan alone fired 100 shots. that means FOUR RELOADS in a crowded room (or rooms) at close range against, one would suppose, combat-ready military personnel. It probably only takes seconds to jam a second magazine into the pistol-nevertheless-why wasn’t Hasan stopped at the first, second or even third reloads?

In summation, the Army must give IMMEDIATE responses as to why it let a dangerous anti-American Muslim fanatic remain in uniform and why its response time to the terrorist attack was so slow.

Classmate at USHS asserts that this terrorist made disparaging remarks against the US in class, and they reported him. (According to Greta).

Sounds like a “what did they know, and when did they know it” issue….
