You and I differ......I consider anything that causes extreme terror in people a terrorist attack. But that's just semantics. Surely there is a difference between: 1. a bus driver who accidently falls of the cliff (with the bus and the passengers) 2. Virginia Tech shooter 3. 9/11 hijackers I see no difference between 2 and 3. I am not sure why you do. Clearly, 1, 2 and 3 are not the same, despite the fact that they caused the extreme terror to their victims. Common term is to call 1. accident 2. lone nut 3. terror attack Hasan is clearly not 1. Between 2 and 3, it is starting to look very much like 3 - terror attack. From what I am hearing, its more likely a terrorist attack by a lone nut. The Imam from his mosque in TX was on 360 tonite. Hasan had asked if he could be an assistant in the mosque. The Imam told him no. The Imam told 360 he found Hasan very incoherent and did not want him working in his mosque. I think Hasan is very much like the terrorist at VA Tech. Someone who spent too much time alone with his thoughts. It will be interesting if Obama tries to degrade it from 3 to 2... It plays better with his base. There is no evil in the base (of course other than GWB). Why can't you just wait til all the facts are out. Why is so important for you to have it be a Muslim terrorist attack? So the US can start another war? As I said, he already started the weasel act when he said: "We cannot fully know what leads a man to do such a thing." There you go....joe, the ideologue, is out again.
