Gratifyingly... even TIME Magazine Online is amazed at the lack of honest questioning and discerning the cause of the Fort Hood terrorist tragedy.

The Fort Hood Report: Why No Mention of Islam?
By Mark Thompson / Washington Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010

The U.S. military's just-released report into the Fort Hood shootings spends 86 pages detailing various slipups by Army officers but not once mentions Major Nidal Hasan by name or even discusses whether the killings may have had anything to do with the suspect's view of his Muslim faith. And as Congress opens two days of hearings on Wednesday into the Pentagon probe of the Nov. 5 attack that left 13 dead, lawmakers want explanations for that omission.

John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 commission and Navy Secretary during the Reagan Administration, says a reluctance to cause offense by citing Hasan's view of his Muslim faith and the U.S. military's activities in Muslim countries as a possible trigger for his alleged rampage reflects a problem that has gotten worse in the 40 years that Lehman has spent in and around the U.S. military. The Pentagon report's silence on Islamic extremism "shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become," he told TIME on Tuesday. "It's definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens."...

Now... we can cry foul from the top of our PC lungs about some scribed Bible references on some military sighting mechanisms... but to actually name a radical, terrorist, traitor as having been possibly motivated by radical Islam is just not appropriate these days according to our military authorities.

There needs to be some serious house cleaning in the military... and it should begin in the house that is at the top of the military chain of command.

Mr. CIC... you could speak up... and tell those who are afraid to do the same to... shut up... then go find someone who will take the bull by the horns.... for the sake of this nation and her slaughtered warriors... and their families.
