I don’t think he’s a terrorist, for a very simple reason. The classical definition of terrorism is the targeting of civilians to advance a political purpose. Hasan didn’t target civilians. He hit a clear military target. The appropriate term then isn’t terrorism. It’s treason.

Hasan has pronounced sympathy for suicide bombers and has had communication with those who advocate the same. I would contend that there was no military objective to the Hasan massacre except to kill non-muslims in the name of Islam which does make it perpetrated for political \ religious reasons.
BTW, if the scene had been an airport or a mall, the Dems and their Controlled Media would still argue that this was not terrorism.
