Here is what troubles me about this case. Hasan was born 43 years ago next month in Arlington County, Virginia.. an all American town. His parents were Palestinian immigrants. He went to quality American schools and then joined the Army where his tuition, fees, and salary was paid as he went to college, medical school, and psychiatry schools for years and years.
He has every reason to love this country. But pundits would have us believe that this mature, educated army officer was turned into an Islamist terrorist primarily by one man,Anwar al-Awlaki. And that, mostly through e-mails. So that makes it easier to understand how the imams of the Middle East can take mere boys away from their parents and in a few short years, convince them to strap on a bomb - and go blow themselves up for Allah! But what I am not finding is any evidence that the Army (or DOD for that matter) or the gob'mint is using this disaster as a learning experience --- and stressing more on discovering and reporting such characters .... and less on the glory of diversity..... and the political correctness of DADT on Muslims....
