That was a twist I wasn't expecting - thought it was going to be all about how many folks had dropped the ball, had their hands tied, or ignored the warning signs ala Virginia Tech shooter.

Well said.!
 
What doesn't seem to be said about this incident is: who was his imediate superior officer. I thought the whole system of the military is for an officer to be responsible for the physical and mental readiness of the men under his command. I hate to sound mean about it, but his commanding officer had a responsibility and a duty to know how all his men were doing. In other words, where was his boss, when he was giving these inflamatory speeches and encountering the bigotry he was being subjected to? There is a chain of command, and there should be accountability.

But, I think it's fair to say #1, any of us would be pretty angry. #2, that the Cambridge Police, uh, acted stupidly........."
 
Yea. Just heard that too on Hannity.

Hmmm.. maybe Obama learned something from the first incident to the second. I like a President that learns from experience.

Good thing no one died in the Campridge "misunderstanding".

Wait! So, Hasan was not killed? I have not followed it that closely, but I just heard that he may now be a paraplegic. And, due to the sensitivity of the ties to terrorists, we might offer him a plea to gain more info. as opposed to going for the death penalty.

I am OK with this, but will he talk? Final sign off will be President Obama.
 
Yes - Hasan is alive - just one of the many details that was wrongly reported in the media frenzy following the event.

As far as I can tell, he will probably be in a wheelchair and requiring assistance of some kind for the rest of his life - so prison instead of the death penalty isn't exactly a reward or great alternative.

Win-win IMO, we get info, sidestep the death penalty issue, and he gets a taste of hell and plenty of time for reflection before he dies.

Looks like the poor bastard will have a hard time kneeling down five times a day toward mecca. I guess the bad part is that he won't get to really appreciate the prison love he's got coming to him.
