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. Huh? From day one, according to the right, Hasan was a Muslim terrorist in cahoots with other Muslim terrorists. There was little evidence of that other than he's a practicing Muslim. 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. I never said he cracked from stress. So far, it looks like he's a typical American terrorist. Time will tell if that is a correct conclusion. 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. If, in fact, his contact with the imam in Yemen was noteworthy, they had a responsibility to report that to the Army. The fact that they didn't suggests more of the incompetency we saw under the Bush administration.
