>>> There is a reason for due process. Its to make sure cooler heads prevail when making important decisions. Yeah, you're all about due process as long as it is one of your terrorist buddies being accused. But let a conservative get accused. To hell with due process. Let's convict that bastard and lynch him today!

Hasan is a criminal. He must tried by a court of law whether it be military or civilian. Its the American way. Do you have another way? No one suggested anything otherwise. But conservatives aren't criminals for holding their views. They no longer respect the Constitution. Whats the justification for that? Because without seeing all the facts, the right is coming to all kinds of conclusions. There is a reason for due process. Its to make sure cooler heads prevail when making important decisions. No one is saying disregard due process or judging before the facts. You're just pretending they are. OTOH it seems some on the left aren't interested in the true facts .... just the spin they can put on things .... like Hasan "cracked" from "stress" or he did it cause military types are inherently mad-dog killers or having guns made him do it. 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: Under Bush, the FBI and CIA became very arrogant and apparently got little oversight. Why they did not tell the army is one of the facts I am waiting to hear. This incident belies your claim the FBI and CIA were "arrogant" and had no oversight. Clearly they have been LESS aggressive in dealing with threats than they should have. >>>>.... 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. What is this racist BS? Why did he bring up the Muslim sargeant in Kuwait. Why not the Christian sargeant earlier this year? Congratulations. You just illustrated the point! You called a guy RACIST for voicing worries about Hasan in advance. A perfect example of political correctness. ... and they worried they might be "discriminating" against Hasan because of his seemingly extremist Islamic beliefs. If true, that's not political correctness.. Sure it is. Some things just can't be broached. that's an unwillingness to take on a problem. And in this case, political correctness is one thing contributing to the not dealing with a problem.
