War On Terror: The Army major on trial for murdering 13 at Ft.
Hood in 2009 plans to argue that he acted in defense of the Taliban. So
much for the administration calling the shootings "workplace violence."
One of the great scandals of the Obama administration has been its
shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in
Killeen, Texas, by Maj. Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence."
While Hasan continues to draw his pay, this designation has denied
the dead and the survivors the benefits they would have been entitled to
had the attack been properly labeled an act of terror.
One would expect that when a self-proclaimed "Soldier of Allah"
shouting "Allahu Akhbar" opens fire on dozens of American citizens and
soldiers, killing and maiming as many innocents as he can, it would have
been called an act of terror.
Thirteen people were killed, including a pregnant soldier, and 32
others shot during Hasan's rampage against soldiers being processed for
deployment to Afghanistan.
The White House so far has not commented on Hasan's stunning
announcement that he will defend not only himself but also "the
leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban." In other
words, he committed an act of terror on behalf of an enemy of the
United States.
