Article: "Fort Hood Report: No Mention of Islam, Hasan Not Named"

The link: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1954960,00.html?xid=rss-topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+time%2Ftopstories+%28TIME%3A+Top+Stories%295

" The U.S. military's just-released report into the Fort Hood shootings spends 86 pages detailing various slipups by Army officers but not once mentions Major Nidal Hasan by name or even discusses whether the killings may have had anything to do with the suspect's view of his Muslim faith. And as Congress opens two days of hearings on Wednesday into the Pentagon probe of the Nov. 5 attack that left 13 dead, lawmakers want explanations for that omission. "

There's the first paragraph, complete and untouched. Major Hasan's name wasn't mentioned nor was the possibility that his murders were due to radical Islam. Why do you think that is?

" The Pentagon report's silence on Islamic extremism "shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become," he [John Lehman] told TIME on Tuesday. "It's definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens." "

You don't say. Does anybody remember what I wrote to the JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) about this?

" Your choice is this: either bow to the blinders of political correctness, or acknowledge that having radical Imams (of the 14 currently in the military, 10 are KNOWN to have been radicalized) in the military is akin to asking Nazis to handle decryption during WWII. Again, that figure is not my opinion it is a FACT.

" So ... what, if anything, do you plan to do?

" I await what will in all probability be an echoing silence. "
