The assassination of thirteen American troops at Ft. Hood by a Muslim officer in the U.S. Army is the last straw.
Wingers are the last straw.
I suppose conservatives bother liberals more than a guy who murders 14 Americans.
They no longer respect the Constitution.
Whats the justification for that?
It had nothing to do with political correctness. The army was never told that Hasan was emailing with the imam in Yemen.
But they should have been told. And there were other indications of possible dangers from him as this article:
>>>>.... One official involved in the conversations had reportedly told colleagues that he worried that if Hasan deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, he might leak secret military information to Islamic extremists. Another official reportedly wondered aloud to colleagues whether Hasan might be capable of committing fratricide, like the Muslim U.S. Army sergeant who, in 2003, killed two fellow soldiers and injured 14 others by setting off grenades at a base in Kuwait.
Bureaucratic And Other Obstacles
So why didn't officials act on their concerns and seek to remove Hasan from his duties, or at least order him to receive a mental health evaluation? Interviews with these officials suggest that a chain of unrelated events and factors deterred them.
For one thing, WALTER REED and most medical institutions have a cumbersome and lengthy process for expelling doctors, involving hearings and potential legal battles. As a result, sources say, key decision-makers decided it would be too difficult, if not unfeasible, to put Hasan on probation and possibly expel him from the program.
Second, some of Hasan's supervisors and instructors had told colleagues that they repeatedly bent over backward to support and encourage him, because they didn't have clear evidence that he was unstable, and they worried they might be "discriminating" against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist Islamic beliefs.
