Military Officials Not Ruling Out Terrorism In Ft. Hood Shootings
Which doesn’t mean that the attack was linked to terrorism in any way, but it does mean that those who are speculating about terror links aren’t the crazy, racial-profiling idiots so many in the liberal media want to portray them as.
Military and federal investigators pointedly refused to release further details on how the shootings happened, why there were initial reports of multiple attackers and why officials took several hours to correct news media reports that Major Hasan had been killed. Most significant, officials were not prepared to say whether the attack was the act of a lone and troubled man or connected to terrorist groups, foreign or domestic.
The President said “don’t jump to conclusions” (he might have remembered that in the instance of Officer Crowley) and I think that’s good advice.
Even so, there’s no harm in talking about possible explanations for why he’d done this, up to and including religious motivations.
And perhaps just as importantly, talking about how a man this disturbed managed to rise to the rank of Major despite apparent and detected stability issues.
