Now TB, of all Board members, you are the one I credit with the most caution when posting. The only info we have available comes to us through the media filter. We ought to wait for more definitive information.

I appreciate your post, Olivant. smile

Hasan worshipped with a pro-Queida imam at a Virginia mosque; corresponded via e-mail with that imam after he moved to Yemen; visited radical Islmaic websites; posted praise for suicide bombers; openly spoke about how the war in Iraq and Afghanistan was a war on Islam; paraded in fundamentalist Islamic garb prior to the attack, and shouted "Allahu akbar!" before shooting. That doesn't leave me with a lot of doubt about his motives.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
