Sensitivity vs. stupidity; fairness vs. foolishness

Apologists and victimologists for Nadil Hasan who can only find evil motives on the Christian far right could benefit from Eugene Robinson's column today. He says there's a difference between being sensitive and being stupid, and apologists are actually hurting American Muslims by refusing to see that the military had plenty of warning about this guy and dropped the ball.
  • He had told people of his serious doubts about U.S. military campaigns
  • He made no secret of his reluctance to serve in Afghanistan
  • Army doctors told their superiors of their concern about his divided allegiance
  • Fellow officers had complained about his anti-american rants
  • He was possibly a follower of a radical cleric.
And if you've been following the story you know there were more speculations, some being investigated, others being buried.

If you disagree, please contact Mr. Robinson, eugenerobinson@washpost.com
