No Blood For Hubris:

But his name was Hasan, so he was a muslimofascist sleepercellof1!

The reichwing will be concentrating on his ethnicity. That's a lot easier than asking questions about troops at places like Fort Drum in NY that have a very high rate of DWI and domestic trouble. Of course there is always the chance that some of the troops were brought into the military by Bushco's lowering of the recruiting standards.

I sent you a note about a blog post at my place. I'm not sure if you got it, but if not, please consider this an invitation.

There are lots of crazy psychiatrists out there, in and out of the military.
