FIRST -- AS SOON AS WE GET ANY INFORMATION WE CAN FROM THIS GUY ABOUT POSSIBLE TIES TO OTHERS, AND FEEL HE HAS NOTHING MORE TO TELL US, HE SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD.
Until then, we should try to figure out, if the government is telling us they were suspicious about him for 6 months, why had they not arrested him already, or at a minimum tossed him out of the military? As much as Hasan has to explain, the government also has a lot too, because if early news reports are right and he was elated by attacks on our military, he should have been arrested for being an "enemy sympathizer" and then investigated thoroughly for any inclinations of being more than "support by mouth" [which is simply 'free speech', but enough to get him tossed from the Army, then placed under surveillance to see if he was, or would become, part of a larger terror cell].
I just read what I think the news is using in comments "he wrote about suicide bombing", and using it to say he believed in it.
As I read it, he is against suicide, including suicide bombing. But he does point out that attacking an enemy thinking you may survive is OK -- if you die, martyr; if you don't you fought a good battle anyway.
It was difficult to read (I tried to pass over the religious crap -- had to force myself through it to try to get the complete meaning) partly because he uses convoluted [arab-style?] sentences; and kind of like many in our 'respected news people' community like George Will who like to state things in a way to prove themselves very smart because the rest of us can't figure out what they meant to say.
Anyway -- try reading it. See what you think --
