Authorities have not ruled out that Hasan was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group, the official said. He would not say whether any evidence had come to light to support that theory

I think this means something. If it didn't, the media would be going out of its way to deny any association with radical Islam. We'll see. The "lone nut" theory may still triumph.

In my fantasy world, he won’t be associated with a bigger plot, which would lead Congress, the military, and the President to conclude that it’s all of Islam, not specific Islamic terrorist gangs, that is the problem. In my fantasy world.

Yes, it’s possible that the fact they have even said this much indicates that there is some “larger group” involved with it.

Of course, I guess that’s true no matter how you look at it: he wasn’t just a nut, and the “larger group” was Islam. However, I bet he’s going to go for an insanity defense and the PC crowd will accept it immediately. They’re already trying to build it. I have seen at least three stories about how lonely and unhappy he was...cry me a river! But I bet he’s never going to do a day in jail.
