That the US and Canadian governments rounded up all the Japanese citizens in 1942 and incarcerated them for the duration of the war was a radical, yet effective way to prevent fifth column activity from flourishing, knowing that the attack on Pearl harbour could not have been completed with the degree of effectiveness it had without the work of Japanese agents on Oahu.

I find it incredulous in the wake of ongoing Muslim terrorism in North America and abroad, that the U.S. Armed Forces would even consider allowing Muslims into their ranks. It defies common sense. I should think that if the U.S. Congressmen of 1942 were alive today, they would undoubtedly be actively moving to deport all Muslim non-citizens and perhaps even going so far as to incarcerate any suspicious U.S. Muslim citizens/groups.

Even in the wake of Fort Hood, we can be sure that very little will be done to protect U.S. and N.A.T.O. troops from similar future kinds of attacks, being that the politically-correct in power don't possess the moral resolve to undertake radical action. The sacrifice of a few hundred of our troops every year under the current " half-measures" of combatting terrorism just isn't going to give the West the upper hand.

NPR usually covers all the angles...it was probably them.

I haven't figured out our local stations yet, so I am flipping between the national channels.

They wore handy uniforms of the opposite side. And they weren't killing in the name of Catholic or Lutheran Christianity.

Why was he allowed to continue in his position? 

Uhmmm... Because the military is really, really big and really, really bureaucratic and it takes a really, really long time to take action on personnel matters?  And perhaps because the military is strained fighting two wars, and needs all the soldiers it can get?

As I recall, this isn't the first, or even the bloodiest massacre in Killeen history.  Didn't the Luby's killer kill nearly twice as many people?  Wasn't he a white, conservative, presumably (nominal) christian from a well-to-do family who'd served in the navy? 

Does that mean that white conservative christian males should be barred from the military, as k-pappy's logic would suggest?

Of course all Muslims don't want to kill us. Only the devout true believers. We call them radicals. They makeup about 10 percent of the Muslim population of over 1.2 Billion worldwide. We only have to be concerned with about 120 million.

 

It's sad that the CIA and FBI dropped the ball on this Hassan. They had plenty of red flags raised on this guy eleven months prior to this incident, and could have prevented this whole mess, but they failed to take action on him. Now heres what they need to do. Take Nadal Hassan and strap a bomb to him and then send him to the Tailiban and detonate his sorry butt.

    A few years ago an American soldier of Muslim conviction threw a fragmentation grenade into a headquarters
    tent in Iraq.  So Fort Hood was nothing new.
