Hasan's Emails To The Enemy Constitutionally Protected?

Perhaps the Constitution is a suicide pact after all.

Investigators would have been "crucified" over First Amendment rights if they had launched a full-scale probe into e-mails Fort Hood massacre suspect Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly sent to a radical imam, a government investigator told Fox News.

The claim comes as the squabble grows among officials in different branches of law enforcement and the military over who knew what, and when, about Hasan's leanings toward faith-inspired violence, and amid charges that "political correctness" prevented officials from taking pre-emptive action.

The government counterterrorism investigator familiar with the FBI's review of the Fort Hood case told Fox News that they simply did not have enough evidence to launch an investigation. Though officials discovered Hasan's e-mails to the imam, the investigator said the messages suggested he was seeking "spiritual and religious guidance."

"Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we'd have been crucified," the investigator said, adding that the communications were shared with the "appropriate chains."

Of course they are right. "Better dead than to offend" after all is practically the motto of the terrorist apologizes on the left and within the government.

Among the many reasons to respect those who serve in the military is that they often suffer restrictions on the rights they fight to preserve for others. The idea that a military officer enjoys a first amendment right to discuss a damn thing with a member of an enemy group is as laughable as it is tragic.

Rest assured however there are still some restrictions in place. I mean, imagine if Nadal were Smith and he were email buddies with the leader of the Aryan Nation or the KKK. How fast would our mythical Maj. (or Pvt.) Smith last in the Army?

Their first amendment rights wouldn't even be consider (and rightly so).

*I just realized I originally referred to the traitor by his first name in the headline. I fixed it.

A Few Politically Correct Men [ace]: I was about to post this.

I was thinking about The System, as I was on about yesterday. And thinking about Code Reds from A Few Good Men.

How stuff like this is dealt with is simple: The policymakers set what they claim is the policy and the rules. But those aren't the real rules; those are the rules they offer to the public. The real rules are kind of secret, in the sense that no one will admit they're official policy, but everyone knows what they are.

In A Few Good Men, the Marine Corps' rules about poor performance were as follows:

1. You cannot transfer or discharge a poor Marine. It is your job to motivate him into being a good Marine.

2. You may use any tools to motivate this poor Marine, but you cannot, under any circumstances, employ troop-administered beatings ("Code Reds").

Now, these rules may come into conflict. What happens when you have a bad Marine and permitted motivation tools aren't working? Does that mean you can violate rule 2?

The official position (in the movie's fictive code) was that no, Rule 2 has primacy. If Rule 1 and Rule 2 come into conflict, Rule 2 wins. Rule 1 gives way; supposedly, in that case, you can transfer or discharge a poor Marine.

But (again, in the fictive universe of the movie), the real rule, which everyone understood was the real rule, and yet none of the brass would admit was the real rule, was that beatings were permitted. Rule 2 was actually a minor rule compared to Rule 1 -- but people would swear up and down on the Bible, under oath in court, that was the other way around.

This situation is very common in organizations. There is a stated, supposedly primary policy. Often that's not the actual policy at all -- but it's in all the handbooks and all the legal-ish CYA type documents.

Looking at the Hasan situation, there were also two rules in conflict:

1. Diversity and tolerance are extremely important, and the Army must try to promote religious minorities such as a Muslim) when it can, and furthermore, must never act in such as way as to make a religious minority (such as a Muslim) feel singled-out and suspected. The FBI, similarly, must not be over-eager to dig into Muslims' exercise of their "first amendment rights."

2. But, regardless of Rule 1, national security and the preservation of life are the two paramount considerations in conducting an investigation into, and disciplining or discharging, a possible traitor or lunatic.


What happens when these rules come into conflict? Again, the supposed rule that takes precedence -- which we'll be hearing all the time in the Congressional hearings -- is that of course, Rule 2 is the more important rule. Nothing, supposedly, is more important than national security and the preservation of troops' lives.

But everyone knew that was not in fact the actual governing, primary rule. Everyone knew that in reality -- in terms of what would lose you a promotion or get you a black mark on your record -- was that Rule 1 -- diversity and tolerance -- was in fact the more important rule, and the brass was willing to risk a fair amount of security in order to maintain Rule 1.

In fact, General Casey even almost admitted this when he said an even greater tragedy than 14 dead Americans would be if diversity suffered.

An even greater tragedy? Really? Greater than 13 dead adults, one dead unborn child, and 40+ badly wounded people, some of whom will be impaired for life?

And so the higher-ups, the policy-makers, get to, as they often do, give conflicting and or dishonest statements of policy while forcing their underlings to carry out the real policy which no one will admit to.

Illegal immigration is a perfect example of this. Supposedly it's illegal to come to America without permission and take a job. This has been the stated policy for decades. The real policy is that it's perfectly acceptable, and the policy-makers enforce this policy not through actually stating that we now have open borders, but by disciplining and/or failing to promote any LEOs or agents who actually attempt to enforce the supposed rule. Look at Sheriff Araphio.

And so it goes on and on, and no one can question the real policy being enforced, because the policy-makers will continue swearing on their mother's eyes that the real policy isn't the policy at all, it's some other, more rational, more popular, less objectionable policy.

The easiest way to defend a deadly-irrational policy is to simply claim it's not the policy at all.

Get ready for this. And don't expect Jack Nicholson to lose it on the stand and finally admit that Rule 2 is for suckers.

Suppose a member of the armed forces (God forbid) shoots up a bunch of his fellow service members because he's opposed to the end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  Suppose it turns out that the FBI knew prior to the crime that the murderer had been in e-mail contact with Rev. Fred Phelps in Wichita for "spiritual and religious guidance."  How do you suppose the Lamestream Media and the authorities would be portraying the issue?  Do you think anyone would be trying to make excuses for the investigators who let the matter drop?

For example, an Army officer who dissents from the view that his duty is to defend the United States and its Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, because he believes he has a higher duty to defend Islam and the ummah from America is just expressing his patriotism.  Especially when he drives the point of his dissent home with a pistol among a crowd of his unarmed fellow service members.

The first amendment doesn't give you the right to plan murder, nor does it convey privacy rights.  So this statement is out of whack.

Reading his private emails wouldn't even have been necessary given that apparently Hasan was throwing off all sorts of public warning signs as well.

Which is why it's so important to get people to understand that islam is not really a religion, but a political ideology.

Posted by: progressoverpeace at November 11, 2009 02:01 PM (A46hP)

Judaism originated as a political ideology. Christianity enfolded itself into the political ideology of the Roman Empire and became a political ideology. But these religions evolved to adapt to the modern era in which the political ideology of governance is separate from the Mandate of Heaven.

Anyone advocating a restoration of the Holy Roman Empire by violent revolution is rightly considered beyond the pale of acceptable societal tolerance, as would be anyone advocating the use of terrorism to force the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem and the restoration of government according only to the laws and rituals set forth in the Torah. We call these people fanatics and do not excuse their fanaticism because of its religious roots.

But for some reason, the fashionable people in the West do excuse Salafist Islam and the Shi'ite theocracy in Iran.

That's not an "or." That's how this is done.

Because if you're going to claim Rule 2 is the most important rule, you have to jail those people who were "confused" and/or "derelict in their duty" in treating Rule 1 as primary.

Even tho, of course, there was no "confusion" or "dereliction" at all -- they were RIGHT that Rule 1 was actually the primary rule. It was a lie that Rule 2 was primary.

But to maintain the facade, yes, people have to go to jail. The policymakers cannot admit what the real rule is, or else they'd have to defend it. So any time the real rule is exposed as being the real rule, they have to claim that investiagors or soldiers erred, possibly criminally.

I don't think these guys are wrong for not wanting to risk their careers over an investigation.  Not if you consider that lots of other people would have had to go along with it to really get anywhere. 

There's a lot of things I'd do to risk my career if it were up to me and a few trusted friends.  I'd never think of trying them if I needed to bring other people into it who might be better served by watching me fail.  In this case, one guy looking to make his bones as a diversity maven could have stopped an investigation and put the whistleblower into a career crash.

I think the military needs to remember and reassert - as someone already pointed out - that there is no democracy therein.  There are few rights, and if you say something the miltary doesn't like, tough sh*t for you.  And if someone thinks you're making trouble, as long as they accuse you in good faith, they're safe even if they're mistaken.

60 "Had we launched an investigation of Hasan we'd have been crucified," the investigator said, adding that the communications were shared with the "appropriate chains."

Seems to me that an appropriate response at this point is to name the investigators who failed to pursue the matter, drive them out of their jobs and crucify them in the arena of public opinion.  Perhaps in that case, an investigator facing a similar situation in future will not presume that he can save his career by punting the danger to someone else.

Daley can kiss my you know what.  He's probably sitting on top of a very nasty potential attack as he speaks -- been bending over backwards to be "welcoming" to a certain group of people, which means he's getting money from someplace.  Frakker.

As for diversity in the military -- there's always been plenty of diversity in the military, at least as long as I've known it.  It's always been made up of people from every freaking walk of life, corner of the country/world -- and it was the most "pc" and equal place, because the only thing that was supposed to matter was how stand up and squared away you were: "here you are all equally worthless until you prove otherwise", "ain't no other color than this right here (pointing to your utilities)".  That's why I always liked it; there were always jag offs and there were always squared away folks, and you just never knew who that would be until they did something, so you stopped your predetermined biases pretty quick.  Guess they've frakked that up now.  I don't know who's more to blame -- the higher ups for allowing that esprit de corps to wear away, or the society that pushed for it to go away -- and I don't know what the cure will be either.  I feel bad for my kids and their comrades in arms.

Judaism wasn't constructed as a political ideology but as a social contract among the members of a tribe, and only them. Judaism contains no instructions to gain the power of state and does not even apply to any land outside of that given to the Jews.

Christianity was never political but came into political influence with the fall of Rome and the need for that power vacuum to be filled. It saved Europe, which would have just disintegrated without anything else to provide that cohesion.

Islam, on the other hand, was built to provide the political framework of a growing land empire, with the continual growth of that empire being part of the canonical texts. It is not that islam slipped into a political role, as Christianity did, or was given only to rule over a very specific people and land, as Judaism does, but that islam contains within it the call for a continual accumulation of all state power, no matter where or over whom.

This aspect of islam is seen in action everywhere that muslims exist and is most glaring in the structure that Ataturk decided was necessary for Turkey, in order for it to have any chance of becoming a modern state.

Islam, at its core, is more political than anything else, and that is not true of either Judaism or Christianity, which give nothing but dictates to the individuals as to how each of them should behave, while islam addresses how all groups should behave, with the idividual being relegated to near worthless stature (as is seen by the fact that muslims are forced to kiss the ground five times a day, to remind themselves how worthless they are as individuals).

68 Does anyone remember Gen. William Boykin?
He made comments at a church service that cast the GWOT in a religious light and battle against evil in general and forces of Satan in particular.
Naturally, the usual suspects (the media, CAIR, ACLU) got up in arms over the "inflammatory" nature of the remarks and their effect on the "Muslim Street."
We were chastised, IIRC, that soldiers sacrifice a degree of their 1st amendment rights when speaking in uniform.

So, just to make sure I'm clear:
+Giving a guest sermon at a church-not protected speech.
+Communicating with enemies directly engaged in combat with our armed forces, and working to disrupt our interests around the world-1st amendment protected speech, you racist islamophobe!

Glad we cleared that up.

69 Nothing, supposedly, is more important than national security and the preservation of troops' lives.

So, thge letters sent by Tim McVeigh when he was in Iraq in which he rants about Waco should have been read by his superiors, after which the military would discharge him? And then, as a civilian, his movements should be carefully surveilled?

What about the rightwing motherfuckers here who threaten "revolution, "secession," "kill muslims"? Shouldn't they be picked up for questioning?

What about the rightwing domestic terrorists, like Randall Terry, and all the wanna be Eric Randolphs? Shouldn't we lock them up?

73 Ace,

While I don't necessary disagree with yours, I don't think you have to construct a model of imaginary unspoken rules to explain what happened here. 

My suspicion is that this is a case where the other soldiers around Hasan either didn't believe that this guy was a serious threat, didn't feel it was their personal responsibility to call attention to this, and thought that raising politically incorrect issues of Islamicism within the military would be more trouble than it was worth.

Remember Hasan is both a doctor and a major.   That means he probably outranked most of the others around him, and "don't piss off your superior officers" is probably an equally valid unstated rule!

I think had ANYONE on that base really believed that Hasan was going to go on a shooting spree, there would have been a much closer look at the guy (at least).   Had he been a buck private rather than a senior officer and physician, his eccentricities probably wouldn't have been tolerated so readily.

As a side thing, in my experience a LOT of psychiatrists are nuts.  Psychiatrists actually have the highest rate of mental illness of all the medical specialists, probably at least in part because the history of mental illness attracts them to the specialty.

43 -- and sorry to say, but I know plenty of blue falcon or just plain inept E-5s who would have done nothing with this, or would've kicked the can right down the road.  The officer corps is full of inept, unethical @$%^@s (it also has some good people in it), and the same can be said for the NCOs and the troops themselves.

This is one of the prices we pay for a professional military -- some people are in this strictly for the pay and a place to stay (including grunts).  Again, I don't know what the cure for this is -- maybe it's just a symptom of a state in evolving stages (see Rome for an example -- started out with patriotic citizen soldiers, ended with a professional army that wasn't really all that patriotic).

That is an outright lie.  The military owns your ass when you're in, they can read or listen to anything they damn well want to, f*ck your 1st Amendment rights.   That's a completely civilian argument that absolutely, in now way at all, applies to people in the military.  Whoever is pushing this tripe is trying to cover their ass.

I think there were two reasons Bush didn't try to prosecute the traitors at the NYT.

First is, that attacking the press is generally about as helpful as kicking a skunk (as Obama is maybe starting to learn about Fox news).

Second, Bush seemed to take a "turn the other cheek" attitude towards domestic critics and political enemies.

Perhaps he thought that using the Attorney General's office to attack the NYT would have been perceived as politically motivated, given the many attacks by the liberal press against the AG's office during Bush's tenure.

In this case in particular, I think Bush was wrong.  In my opinion he could have (and should have) made it quite clear that he wasn't attacking the NYT out of personal or ideologic motives, but because their reporting was in violation of the law and directly undermined American security, potentially risking lives.  Even if he could never secure a criminal conviction (though who knows. . .he might have been able to do so) at least he would have created a chilling effect about future security leaks.

The email thing is a complete red herring.

OF COURSE the military COULD have read all his emails, etc.

But that's irrelevant, because apparently he was also spouting off IN PERSON to all sort of people how he hated the military, etc.  So no interception of his emails was necessary to know he was at least angry (if not homicidally so) and subscribed to a questionable set of beliefs, in contradiction to every tenet of military discipline.

However, Vic is right -- some pigs are more equal than others, and are "entitled" to more expectations of privacy.

Come on, now.  The Torah is a complete blueprint for the government of a state in a defined homeland.  It defines civil and criminal offenses and their punishments and a system of taxation to support the Temple-state.  The idea that the Torah is not political because it's not expansionist is absurd.  When the homeland to which Torah political government applied was conquered and then dismantled, Judaism adapted into a religious faith, finding (for example) ways for Jews to fulfill the obligation to celebrate the Passover even though the Temple no longer existed.

Christianity insinuated itself into the Roman Empire and took the reins of power with the conversion of Constantine.  It reinforced its hold on political power over the following centuries, attaching its imprimatur to the authority of kings.  Its fragmentation on faith lines led to the waning of its temporal power, but even into the 19th century, the Papal States fielded armies, conquered territories and imposed Church law as part of political government.  With the rise of the belief in the rights of man and the principle of government by the consent of the governed, the political authority of Christianity was reduced solely to its moral authority.

The problem with Islam is that it has sizable minorities that want to take it directly back to its glory days of political dominance and further want to expand its dominion to all human beings.  These people (despite what the bumper stickers in Berkeley say) have no desire to coexist, except possibly as masters of the dhimmi.  Further, there aren't very many voices in Islam -- at least, not speaking to the West -- saying that the extremists are archaic, atavistic and evil, and rallying the rest of their co-religionists to fight and destroy them.

Maybe relatively few Russians were Communist Party members, and relatively few Germans were Nazi Party members, but their failure to oppose their rulers, and their willingness to go along with evil as long as it benefited them or at least didn't mean they were the ones taken away in the middle of the night, enabled those regimes to perpetrate great evil.  Muslims whose reaction to Ft. Hood is to whine about how it puts them at risk of backlash are contemptible.  Non-Muslim military and political and media leaders who whine about the same thing are despicable.

Yeah, uhm sorry Ali, but I'm not so sure that shouldn't fall under treasonous activity and/or conspiracy to commit terrorism/committing a terrorist act for civilians as well. 

Ah well, at least he didn't target a bunch of civilians -- that may sound bad, but it could've been a lot worse.  At least the people who died in some way didn't die completely in vain; now hopefully something good comes out of it (not holding my breathe).

As a progressive myself, I often root for the trolls of conservative blogs. Those hearty band of true believers, often stepping into the breech to do hand to hand combat with the more offensive elements of the right wing. I happily cheer them on, like a spectator at a Roman Gladiator contest. At the end of the day, I hope they prevail, but if not, that they are given a hearty thumbs up by the crowd so the battle tested troll can live, to be returned to the Colisuem of the mind, to engage in political combat once more.

Then there is erg. Operating under various names, such as Dr. Benway, eggmcmuffin and minitrue, to list just a few, erg is to logic and intelligence as the Chicago Cubs are to World Series championships. His primary strategy seems to be to shout out a singular, unsupported, "arguments" (that term being defined with as much flexiability as a pair of Rosie O'Donnell sweatpants) hoping that it makes sense. It has the same effect of a small child walking across an empty field, holding his arms out, as if his outstretch hands could stop the wind. Often, erg's arguments resemble the deranged screams of mental ward patient who has been taken off his medicine. "Your a knucklehead"  seems to be one of his favorite retorts, as if merely uttering it makes any combination of random letters a winning argument. Sadly, erg would be better off just randomly hitting letters on the keyboard. They say that if 1000 monkeys were given 1000 years, one could produce the works of Shakespear. If 10,000 ergs were given 10,000 years, this reviewer seriously doubts that any logical, cohesive thought  would be made.

On a scale of 4 stars, I give 1 - not for any real talent or skill, but merely showing up. I would probably give him 2 if he just stopped showing up.

881. ART. 81. CONSPIRACY Any person subject to this chapter who conspires with any other person to commit an offense under this chapter shall, if one or more of the conspirators does an act to effect the object of the conspiracy, be punished as a court-martial may direct.

CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
904. ART. 104. AIDING THE ENEMY Any person who-- (1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or (2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly; (Emphasis added)
shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct.

145 You have been "asked to leave" on a dozen occasions.

If you are going to continue hopping around your employer's computers to avoid bans, I have no choice, really, but to contact him and inform him how you're spending your working hours.

Incidentally? The last straw was the libel about "my aborted fetus." That is, in fact, libel, and something I can present to your employer as a clear violation of, I'm sure, the rules about use of employer computers.

Hiding laying back because they too know what is written in the Koran. One day they will get that knock on the door and willfully follow in the name of Allah. Wake up America.

190 Ok. I'll leave. I love this fucking blog. I'm serious.

As for libel. If my id was revealed, then all of those terrible, hurtful things said about me over the years (well, last two years--let's not forget the statute of limitations on bringing a suit of defamation) here would be false statements fact, and the basis for a claim of defamation. I'm anonymous, because I don't want to be a public person. So, I'm certain I would be a private plaintiff.

As you know, your anonymity protects you as well from the tort of defamation. Revealing the identities of commentators would of course expose you to considerable liability for allegedly defamatory statements made by you over the years.

Also, while I don't give a damn whether you have readers who would like to cause me real harm, you can see how revealing my identity would result in your role as the proximate cause of my injury or death.

Posted by: Minitrue at November 11, 2009 03:45 PM (RdKK8)

191 You reveal my identity, and I'll sue you for libel.

*snort*

On what grounds?

1) This blog is privately owned and operated. The owner may do as he pleases with it.

2) You have no right to anonymity.

3) Libel implies a falsehood that causes some harm to your reputation; exposing your identity cannot qualify because it's true, and because any harm to your reputation would come from associating your statements with your true identity. It is, flatly, self-inflicted damage, not libel.

2) erg retorts with sufficient legalesse "proximate cause" "statute of limitations" to show he has hung around enough lawyers to pick up the lingo.

-Daddy, Mommy gets mad at me when I poop in my diaper (5 yr old Minitrue), I'm going to sue her

-Mommy, The gym teacher makes me dress in front of boys for gym class, I'm going to sue him

-Mommy, my first date was all icky. I going to sue that girl and her parents.

227 I really don't see what his emails have to do with the 1st amendment.

Locking Hasan up months ago because he sent those emails would have been absolutely unconstitutional, and I'd be the first person to stand up and say that.

Depriving someone of their rights because of what they have said is WRONG. Locking someone up for saying something unpopular is the kind of thing they do in France to those who refuse to knuckle under to the dictates of Political Correctness. It is not what is done in a free society that values the open expression and exchange of ideas, no matter how unpopular.

Being a member of the US military is not a right. Being in a position of trust is not a right. Subjecting someone to scrutiny and careful surveillance on the basis of what they have said is not a violation of their rights, but common sense.

If I say "I want to kill Bob" and the police overhear me, it would be utterly wrong for them to arrest and incarcerate me on the basis of that statement. However it would not be wrong for them to keep a closer eye on me, and perhaps to warn Bob about what I'd said.

Diversity is a leftist nothing-word. It means nothing. America is a melting pot of people from a multitude of heritages, cultures and ethnicities. There is no special effort required to ensure that individuals from these various backgrounds live and work together as this is the inevitable outcome of their mere co-existence.

Tolerance is a good thing. Picking on someone for dressing differently, eating different foods, or practising a different religion is wrong. That being said, tolerance of difference does not and should not require the tolerance of evil. Your post-modernist liars will whine and claim that judging other cultures is wrong (and even impossible) because the notions of morality are culturally specific. This is bullshit. Right and wrong may not be ideas that are universally agreed upon, but they are universal truths. Some things are right, other things are wrong, and which is which can be known by the effects and consequences that ensue from each. In many cases one or more things may be right or wrong at the same time, with the difference being a matter of degree.

Tolerating that which you believe to be evil (not just different) is not a moral virtue, it is moral cowardice.

Many Muslims living in America speak a language other than English. This is a difference that should not be disparaged because it is not wrong in any way. Naturally they should be able to speak English as well if they expect to function in an English speaking country, but that is a pragmatic concern, not a moral one.

Many of these same Muslims are also extreme misogynists. This is a difference that should NOT be tolerated because it is demonstrably EVIL. Muslims who practice misogyny should be publicly humiliated and punished just as non-Muslims who do so are.

This is but one example, there are many others.

At the same time, there may very well be moral lessons that the greater society can learn from Muslims or their sub-cultures. The pursuit of moral improvement goes both ways. In a melting pot society, the virtues and positive values from all contributors are blended together, not melted away.

Good post. Have watched A Few Good Men many times, and I feel the analogy you have made is valid. Haven't had time to think it all out, but it seems that the military is the proving ground where we ask our best young people to serve their country and do our hardest, toughest, most dangerous work.

Then we turn it into a dumping ground and make it doubly hard, tough, and dangerous by foisting these absolutely insane notions of political correctness on them.

Go fight our wars, but do it with one hand tied behind your backs. Be very careful you don't tread on an enemy's sensibilities. Think twice about using the instincts you have been trained to use and your common sense. But keep us safe.

244 #227 If I say "I want to kill Bob" and the police overhear me, it would be utterly wrong for them to arrest and incarcerate me on the basis of that statement.

Not only would it not be wrong, if police had reason to believe your statement was a credible threat,  (eg you were standing next to Bob holding a baseball bat), they'd have every legal right plus the moral obligation to arrest you.

Context matters.

Also, note that police don't actually have to arrest anyone to alter the dynamic of a situation.  Merely SHOWING UP (in uniform, and armed) often has a persuasive effect all by itself.

Analogously, in the case of Dr. Hasan, in RETROSPECT, there are probably a dozen different things that *could* have been done to change the outcome, and not all of them involved physically detaining him.

Why in the living Hell is an Army base a gun free zone? Who in the fuck dreamt that up, and how soon can we change it.

I say start a drumbeat that every military person is required at all times to be armed. On base, off base, and on airplanes.

The only exception would be in a bar, where they can observe the same rules that most states have regarding drinking and carrying. (Texas is mixed, I can carry in most restaurants, but not in a bar bar which is only for drinking)

It's just criminal that a superior officer did this to fellow army members, and it is double criminal that they weren't all armed and ready to face the enemy at every moment of the day.

256 Hasan tortured our recovering enlisted men and women while they were at home being treated medically and psychologically to recover from the fatiguing duress of battle trauma.

Those whom Hasan treated with torture as his healing technique need to sue him for abusing them with his own twisted guilt. Hasan's superiors are protecting him. The only way for Hasan to be met with justice is for his patients to charge him with mental torture that was NOT approved medical treatment. And if the military brass attempt to squash the law suit, then include the superiors in the suit.

277 So, the top dogs are Walter Reed were agonizing about Hasan's possible psychosis in '08 and '09 -- but in May, just before he was transferred to Fort Hood:

"In yet another twist of irony, in a case already replete with it, Maj. Nidal Hasan, 39, the alleged gunman in the November 5th Fort Hood shootings, served as the co-chair of a panel which examined “Medical Issues for Psychiatrists in Disasters” at the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) annual conference held this past May in
San Francisco.

Among the other experts on the panel was Col. Elspeth Ritchie, M.D., M.P.H., a Harvard-trained clinician who is widely referred to as the “Army’s top psychiatrist”...

Dr. Hasan’s role as co-chair of the panel would indicate that he was better known professionally, and more highly regarded in his field of disaster psychiatry, than has been previously reported."

  What we (rightly) think of as just plain egalitarian American fairness has had a long hard row to hoe, even in U.S. military history, and it's not so good to pretend otherwise.  Yeah, hideous mistakes have been made along the way, and this Nidal asshole is one of them.  And fixing them is always painful and involves, at the individual level, some severe injustices, because you can NEVER change the rules in mid-game without inflicting some injustices. 
   But (a) it's ALWAYS mid-game, and (b) right now some of the rules URGENTLY need changing.

Here's a test. 
Pick two pols whose policy positions are (very roughly) equally detestable.
Or lacking that, take Bill Clinton and Barry Obama.
Okay, wait, that's too unfair, even for me, substitute Shrillary for Bill.
Get a YouTube video of one speech from each.
Watch five solid minutes of one, then five solid minutes of the other.  Liberal doses of Val-U-Rite are recommended, for anaesthesia, but do watch the full five minutes, each time.
Then come back and try to say with a straight face that Oblowme is a great orator.
It can't be done.  Even Cackly McHag could blow him off the stage in a one-on-one speechifying contest.

286 I suppose if Hassan The Assassain's emails are Constitutionally protected free speech, then my blog posts asking a couple of us to firebomb some ACORN offices is Constitutionally protected free speech too.

Oh wait, that won't be the case, since I am a WASP pro-security, registered Republican. Obviously this means I am raaaacist and don't deserve the same consideration as a jihad-contemplating "diversity" slot candidate. So I can exxpect the FBI to kick in the door tomorrow AM.

Can we hurry up to the 2012 election already, before those idiots in DC allow the jihadis a chance to blast a city of the US map?

Ok Tom's bro, but please tell me where putting pc rules in place has helped make diversity better in the military?  If anything, it's made things a lot worse, imho.  I'm kinda getting lost in what you're trying to argue here -- are you saying we need to work for more diversity, or are you saying there comes a time when the diversity meme gets pushed too far, or are you saying the military isn't going about it in the right way, or what?

Personally, I think identity politics or any of that needs to be stomped out -- you are not supposed to have an identity beyond your unit, MOS, corps, etc. (or at least you aren't supposed to be allowed to carry your "identity" on your sleeve -- it's not supposed to matter).

No special favors for anybody.  If there's been a problem, it's been that.  As an officer and a Muslim, this guy was untouchable, and it got people killed -- as well as casting a stain on people of the same faith who might be serving loyally (and there's nothing for it -- because of this creep they'll have to be scrutinized just to be on the safe side).

Maybe I am something special, because I have known for a few years that the Islamic ratbags communicate in code on the internet.

Who made the final decision on Hassan's communications with a radical imam ?

Did the decision maker have a knowledge of Islam?

I could think of no better form of writing to include hiddem meanings than requests for spirtual guidance. Especially considering that at one time Hassan and the Imam attended the same mosque.

But of course, the decisionmaker would not have known about Hassan's connection to the Imam, nor of his already, for some, extreme views.

Because he stopped the enquiry.  If I was a conspiracy theorist I would want to know if the decision maker was a Muslim and if so what mosques they attended.

On a blog called The United States of Earth.com there is a good but scary Obama game about the 2012 election.

80soft will probably roll out their version of President Forever - 2012 in a year. Their prior versions of the game were pretty good (had elections for President scenerios for 1980, 1998, 2000, 2004 and 200. They are also releasing a 2010 congressional election game in time for Christmas. Great game for the hard core political campaign manager wanna be.

296 Unk Jane @288 "Ok Tom's bro, but please tell me where putting pc rules in place has helped make diversity better in the military?"

It hasn't.  I'm not seeing how you think I'm saying that, either.

"I'm kinda getting lost in what you're trying to argue here -- are you saying we need to work for more diversity,"

Actually I think all of the biggest and most important diversity hurdles are in the past.  It's a fairly worthwhile tertiary goal, and shouldn't be abandoned, but it's WAY less important than ordinary order and discipline.  Also even though I'm on record as being willing to betray "fairness" at the individual level, diversity is also less important than fairness. 

" or are you saying there comes a time when the diversity meme gets pushed too far,"

We're living in those times now.  We've lived in them before.  Results have sucked, and are now continuing to suck. 

" or are you saying the military isn't going about it in the right way, or what?"

The military has the hardest job in the world, and that job just gets harder when overly ambitious "diversity" goals get pushed onto it from the outside, by ill-informed lifelong civilians, most of whom are at heart antimilitary hippy airheads, like the clowntards currently running the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal government.  They haven't learned from the history of this, because they have faced no consequences in their professional lives resulting from their ignorant mismanagement of our complex military system, for which they have little understanding or empathy.   So yeah, there's a problem, but no, it doesn't originate from within the military.

A Few Hood Men is a dumb movie. You can transfer marines. Maybe not officers who have miniltary-paid for medical educations but in general privates and trainees are seriously fair game for being weeded out. Blanket parties are not policy but probably something some asshole corporal or even angry bunk mates would come up with. Not allowing medical attention is shear insanity.

A rogue colonel shouting "You can't handle the truth" in the middle of a court martial would end as quick as it began with an abrupt and not very nice " You shut your fucking mouth right now colonel!" followed by "get him out of here and get him to compose himself befitting this inquiry NOW. Five minutes."  A prosecuting jag needing to ask questions to get hostile testimony when a pretty good record exists  that clearly shows that something somewhere in the training program is wrong and some asshole exists is in charge of it who has not properly covered his ass and noone else taking the blame woul be plenty get a Queeq removed or transfered or issued a "helper" to keep him out of trouble.

It's a stupid movie designed to shit all over the Marines corps made by people who probably think that 'Gung Ho' means 'blindly whore fucking kill-krazy anytime Joker and his buddies see an American  flag and hear Door's music".
