A number of things have come out in the wake of the Fort Hood murders that point to the unspoken reality of our times--political correctness kills.

13 people were killed and another 30 injured. Ten times that many people have had their lives devastated by the loss of a loved one. This is what Evan Thomas of Newsweek had to say on Inside Washington--a local Washington D.C. political round table with balanced view-points--meaning four liberals to one conservative (Charles Krauthammer).

I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.

NPR's Nina Totenberg (Presidential fellator wannabe...) soon chimed in with agreement: "It really is tragic that he was a Muslim."

Clearly the real tragedy here is how this affects the liberal establishment.

While that has its comic aspects, less amusing is the reality that Maj. Nidal M. Hasan clearly telegraphed his intentions.

"It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims," he said in the presentation.

"It was really strange," said one staff member who attended the presentation and spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the investigation of Hasan. "The senior doctors looked really upset" at the end. These medical presentations occurred each Wednesday afternoon, and other students had lectured on new medications and treatment of specific mental illnesses.

An Army spokesman said Monday night he was unaware of the presentation, and a Walter Reed spokesman declined to comment. It is unclear whether anyone in attendance reported the briefing to counterintelligence or law enforcement authorities whose job it is to identify threats from within the military ranks.

One does not have to wonder about the reception for a complaint about a Muslim officer would have been considering the attitude of one of the military's top officers.

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse,” Casey said.

Clearly we should heal Hasan's wounds, give him his pistols back, and turn him loose in Washington D.C. The place badly needs some liberal diversity...
