A real terrorist attack yes — but every yo-yo who claims something — just like every “white powder” incident during the anthrax scares (remember those?) — not necessarily at all. Or every industrial plant fire. If you bet that all of those were in fact caused by Arabs or Muslims, you would lose. So waiting at least a few minutes for facts is a pretty good idea. My only point.

I hear you. We should all aspire to be COMPLETELY objective, and not jump to conclusions. But it's next to impossible to NOT make assumptions and snap-judgments in the day of “man-caused disasters” and “unidentified lone gunman”.

We SHOULD be able to TRUST the MSM and our Government, but we have been mislead to and flat-out LIED TO just too many times.

Not just “a few minutes”, but more than FIVE months after the fact, the Obama Administration AND the US MSM still doesn't consider Major Hasan a “terrorist”.

Maybe the guy thought it was a huge joke(if he was in an alcoholic fog). I wonder just how serious a person has to be before an air marshal will take the guy out. What if he really had a bomb, what would the outcome have been? A downed aircraft and many dead, IMO.

my fiancee’s friend knows the guy. He came back pretty messed up from the war.
