I have avoided posting about the tragic event in Ft. Hood up
until now, because the reported details keep changing rapidly
(i.e. shooting suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan originally reported
to be dead, turned out to still be alive). So, while I have a lot
of opinions and theories and questions about the incident, I
think it's best to wait until we have more information to start
opining. But of course, the question that's on everybody's mind
right now, is if
this Associated Press account is accurate and Hasan was
actually being monitored by authorities for web postings in which
he portrayed suicide bombers in a heroic light, how did he remain
in the military? How was he promoted in May? And how was this
allowed to happen?
