So I'm sitting here in my office (I work very late wrapping things up on Friday nights) and I'm thinking:

There are loud and continuous cries that we must quickly try Staff Sergeant Robert Bales who slew the Afghan civilians, and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury in the service of his country. Yet Major Nidal Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming 'Allah Akbar!' still has not stood trial, two and a half years after the massacre. And the 'experts' are still debating whether he was insane, even with the clear evidence regarding his 'religious' motive: slay as many infidels as possible.

So we have a soldier in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately. But a Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13 and wounds 29 of our own men, and the 'experts' are still arguing that the poor lad suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, still bleeding-heart hand-wringing, and no trial.

Is it me, or is something very wrong with this picture?
