[FORT HOOD SHOOTINGS] - WSJ - The shooter, who was upset about being deployed to Iraq, was stopped by a female civilian police officer. Maj. Hasan hired a lawyer in September to try and get out of the army, and out of his deployment to Iraq. MSNBC is reporting that Hasan shouted "ALLAH, AKBAR!" before he started shooting people. So basically, this just became a terrorist attack. This guy would also walk around the base in traditional Muslim dress. If an American Army doctor can do this, something that we associate with poor disaffected young Muslim men, then who isn't capable of this?
[VIDEO HOURS BEFORE] - CNN - Hasan is shown in traditional Muslim garb in a 7-eleven hours before the attack.
[AMA & AARP] - Bloomberg - Lost in the chaos of yesterday were two HUGE endorsements for healthcare reform. The more liberal House bill got the backing of the American Medical Association(doctors) & the American Association of Retired People(old people) yesterday. The House is going to vote on the historic bill tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a huge day for all Americans. The bill is completely paid for, and will not add a dime to the deficit.
[PAKITERRORISTAN] - Reuters - Pakistan entered the Taliban's headquarters in South Waziristan
[CHALLENGING KARZAI] - WSJ - A powerful Afghan governor in one of the safest provinces has called Afghan President Hamid Karzai illegitimate, which might lead to a civil war.
