PC News: Networks Downplay Terrorism, Muslim Connection in Ft. Hood Attack
Newsbusters "ABC, CBS, NBC Follow White House Line: Before Obama's Nov. 10 speech, 93 percent of the stories had ignored any terror connection. But after Obama hinted at what ABC called "Islamic extremist views," all three networks mentioned terrorism."
The 'Good American' Who Was Taught to Hate
American Thinker "And to those who are convinced that Hasan snapped because of some mistreatment he received by his colleagues: Who cares? Certainly not those true Americans who suffered through real racism and barriers. Certainly not Satchell Paige, who struck out Mickey Mantle with one pitch. Not Jackie Robinson, who had to be smuggled into Major League ballparks. Not Kenny Washington, who broke the National Football League's color barrier. Not Rosa Parks, who declined to give up her bus seat. And certainly not a young man who joined the Army and became a Second Lieutenant: Colin Powell."
Iran: US Must Choose Iran Or Israel
Sweetness&Light "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged the US administration to make real changes by ending its support for Israel. “US President Barack Obama should make a big choice in order to realize his change motto,” Ahmadinejad said..."
An insufficiently colorful color guard?
Powerline "The story of the Naval Academy's insufficiently colorful color guard has not quite broken out yet, and perhaps it won't, but it provides additional context to the case of Nidal Hasan. It appears that Naval Academy senior commanders decided during the World Series to remove two Midshipmen from the color guard that appeared. What was their offense? The color guard was deemed too white and too male. There was accordingly a push to make the color guard more "diverse." "
Sacrificing Americans
By Victor Davis Hanson "The society at large, driven by the sermonizing of its elites, has come to an unstated conclusion that, unfortunately, a few Americans will have to be sacrificed from time to time, for the larger goal of establishing the fact that Americans in no way think Muslims are any more likely than any others to commit either random or premeditated terrorist violence."

Senior Official: More Hasan Ties to People Under Investigation by FBI
ABC News "Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon."
Monica's boyfriend says "We are winning"
Politico "Whitehouse quoted Clinton arguing: "The reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning." Clinton’s overall message was one the Obama administration has tried to make: not passing a bill is the worst thing Democrats could do."
Mosque Leaders Part of Fort Hood 'Healing Process' at Memorial Service
ABC News "Leaders from the mosque where alleged shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped are on their way today to Fort Hood to attend the memorial service in a move some hope will help ease suspicion and anger between Muslims and the military base, still reeling from last week's tragedy."
Reframing the Ft. Hood massacre
Thomas Lifson in AT "President Obama's visit today to the Ft. Hood service is another attempt reframe the story and move on so that the memory will fade. Expect to see the following words and concepts emphasized in the President's rhetoric today and by lapdog media commentators:"
Fort Hood Suspect Warned of Muslim Threat Within Military Fox "The Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at Fort Hood reportedly warned senior Army physicians in 2007 that the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars to avoid "adverse events."" Related: AND WHO'S IN CHARGE OF INTELLIGENCE? AND WHO'S IN CHARGE OF INTELLIGENCE? Boortz "Our intelligence agencies work under which branch of government? That would be the executive branch. The boss would be Barack Obama. Now ... do you think we're getting the full story on Nidal Hasan from the Obama administration? "
Really General Casey?
Blackfive "Now add the final ingredient: A General of the Army who says that losing diversity would be a greater loss than 13 dead and 29 wounded. And you wonder why no one was willing to step forward and make a formal complaint or notice about a killer who was very open about who and what he was? You wonder why no one pushed the obvious investigations, from the FBI on?"
