Wow, some kids parents are a bit extreme I guess.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Reggie Turner stopped by a growing memorial to 11 victims of an alleged serial killer because he knew one of the women. Michelle Lee came to pay her respects as a mother and grandmother. Mark Mason and two buddies rode their motorcycles to just take a look.

The street corner opposite the home dubbed Cleveland's "House of Horrors' buzzes with visits from mourners, well-wishers, politicians and the curious.

"We wanted our children to understand what has occurred, to understand how people go missing," said Cliff Westwood, who brought his 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son by the house late Saturday afternoon.

"So remember kids when a trash picking metal recycler invites you back to his place to drink and do heavy drugs don't go. He just wants to rape and kill you and then bury you in his basement!"
Is that what Cliff is telling his kids, or is he turning this into a chance to spread more false "stranger danger" stories so that his kids grow up distrusting everyone. Hmm?

Elie is a whiner. She should stop her whining. You didn't not complane when the libs were calling Bush Hitler.

You know what? The fact is that at a time in history, The Rosthchild family controlled practically everything.This is a fact. Not anti semitic. I resent the Jewish outrage at everything. I am a tea partier. obama is a Marxist and takes his orders from George Soros... it is similar and these people need to get a life., Why any Jew would support the Obama administation is a mystery anyway. He is a Muslim sympathizer and the greatest threat to Israel ever to sit in the White House. Wake up Jewish community. Take off the blinders.

James Taranto's recent Socialized Medicine quip.

Great Moments in Socialized Medicine

Europeans like to think of America as racked by street crime, and also as neglecting its citizens' medical needs. But this story from London's Daily Telegraph suggests there may be an element of projection in this stereotype:

Nearly 170,000 violent incidents take place in England's NHS hospitals each year, data obtained under the Freedom of Information Act has revealed.
Labour's laws on 24-hour drinking are being blamed for alcohol-fuelled violence in accident and emergency departments in particular.

There have been several murders and rapes at hospitals in recent years and thousands of attacks annually involve the use of knives and other weapons.

Almost one in four attacks results in injury, yet only a fraction of them are ever reported to the police.

The statistics reveal the dangers that doctors, nurses, paramedics, patients and visitors face in our hospitals on a daily basis.

Some hospital A & E [accident and emergency] departments have been described as "war zones" on a typical Friday or Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that "the decision to designate patients as 'do not resuscitate' is falling to junior doctors in one in five cases, a report has revealed":

Usually a consultant should make the final decision--after talking to the family--in cases where elderly patients are not expected to survive.
But senior doctors were involved in dealing with just one in three patients admitted to hospital shortly before dying, says the report from the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death. . . .

The findings come amid continuing controversy over elderly patients near the end of their lives being assigned to "death pathway" schemes.
Experts claim doctors and nurses need more training in how to care for people who are dying, because wrong diagnoses can result in withdrawal of food and fluids when they might otherwise have survived.

Then again, according to former Enron adviser Paul Krugman, "In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We've all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false."

"It's football hooliganism. The government should really keep Man U fans from sharing wards with Chelsea fans, and so on."

The level of social interaction in the UK is a topic unto itself, it has really taken a nosedive in recent decades...

If you are taken to an emergency room in the US, you will receive necessary treatment, but you will also receive a bill for it. If you are not insured and do not have the means to pay it, you will be compelled to declare bankruptcy.

In other words, the costs will be socialized.

Is this the kind of after-the-fact "socialized" medicine we want, or should we adopt a market-based approach in which insurance risks are socialized?

Hey, just wondering how close to the coast are you?

A key U.S. senator called Sunday for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs that the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood had embraced an increasingly extremist view of Islamic ideology.

Sen. Joe Lieberman's call came as word surfaced that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there. Whether Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Classmates participating in a 2007-2008 master's program at a military college complained repeatedly to superiors about what they considered Hasan's anti-American views. Dr. Val Finnell said Hasan gave a presentation at the Uniformed Services University that justified suicide bombing and even told classmates that Islamic law trumped the U.S. Constitution.

Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, wants Congress to determine whether the shootings constitute a terrorist attack.

"If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance," Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said on "Fox News Sunday." "He should have been gone."

Ralphie is obviously preparing a many paragraph treatise on what we are to learn from this.

Looking forward to reading it. I'd love to gather some knowledge from this tragedy.

Muslims make up less than 0.3 percent of America's active duty military forces. Of the roughly 548,000 soldiers in the U.S. Army , there are 2,500 Muslims, 1,500 of them on active duty. By comparison, 105,000 claim Roman Catholicism as their religion, and 99,000 say they're Baptists. More than 1,800 soldiers say they're Jewish, surpassed by the nearly 2,500 who identified themselves as atheists. More than 101,000 list no religious affiliation.

How could anyone miss the signs of islamic extremism.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

And the fact that he attended the same mosque that a few 9-11 terrorists did and listened to the same radical bullshit from their imam is all I need to hear.

re: #34 ralphieboy

I am waiting for teh down-dinging.

Seriously, Ralphie; I am teachable.

Meanwhile, the Army on Saturday released the names of all 13 people who were killed.

The list included five mental health professionals — Lt. Col. Juanita Warman, 55, a physician’s assistant who grew up in Pittsburgh and was a member of a medical Reserve unit; Maj. L. Eduardo Caraveo, 52, of Woodbridge, Va., who was a licensed clinical psychologist and part of the 467th Combat Stress Control Detachment out of Madison, Wis.; Capt. Russell Seager, 51, of Racine, Wis., a nurse practitioner in the 467th; Sgt. Amy Krueger, 29, of Kiel, Wis., another member of the 467th, who joined the Army shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks; and Capt. John Gaffaney, 56, of the Serra Mesa area of San Diego, who had worked with mentally disabled adults and was part of a Reserve combat stress unit.

The Army identified the others killed as: Michael G. Cahill, 62, a retired National Guardsman; Specialist Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tenn; Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow, 32, of Evans, Ga.; Specialist Jason D. Hunt, 22, of Frederick, Okla.; Pfc. Michael Pearson, 21, of the Chicago suburban town of Bolingbrook, Ill.; Pfc. Aaron T.

Radical 9/11 Cleric Linked to Fort Hood Shooter: Nidal Hasan is a Hero

It was reported on Saturday that the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, attended the same mosque in Great Falls, Virginia in 2001 as two of the terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks. From the Telegraph:

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

Hasan’s eyes “lit up” when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki’s teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday’s horrific shooting spree.

Late this evening, al-Awlaki, who is now based in Yemen, commented on the shootings on a blog posting with the heading “Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing“:

Nidal Hassan [sic] is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn’t exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges.

Motherfuckers.

The folks at Walter Reed Army Medical Center really missed all the red flags on Maj Hasan's radical and extreme views. They knew about it and did nothing for the sake of political correctness! Maj Hasan was there at WRAMC for 6 years. As a result, 13 dead and more than 2 dozen wounded, 10 of which are in critical condition. They need to hold accountable and discipline those people in charge at WRMAC for this fiasco! I was wondering, does the "don't ask, don't tell" policy applies to the radical islamic extremist muslims in the Army?

Seems like some people are trying very hard to ignore the elephant in the room and find other excuses.

Hasan's Therapy: Could "Secondary Trauma" Have Driven Him to Shooting?

As an army psychiatrist treating soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, Major Nidal Malik Hasan had a front row seat on the brutal toll of war. It is too early to know exactly what may have triggered his murderous shooting rampage Thursday at Fort Hood — Hasan is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 32 others before he was wounded by a police officer — but it is not uncommon for therapists treating soldiers with Post Trumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) to be swept up in a patient's displays of war-related paranoia, helplessness and fury.

The we have government officials are worried about a backlash against muslims.
Army Chief Concerned for Muslim Troops

General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding dozens of others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, could “cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”

“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union. “It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”

Napolitano Warns Against Anti-Muslim Backlash

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- U.S. Homeland Security officials are working with groups around United States to head off any possible anti-Muslim backlash following the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas, the agency's chief said Sunday.

The comments by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano also appeared part of efforts to reassure the Arab world that U.S. authorities were taking measures to quell anti-Islam sentiments after last week's rampage by an American-born Muslim serving as U.S. Army psychiatrist.

"This was a terrible tragedy for all involved," Napolitano told reporters in the United Arab Emirates' capital Abu Dhabi. "Obviously, we object to -- and do not believe -- that anti-Muslim sentiment should emanate from this."

Backlash? Exuse me but I haven't read one story where a muslim has as much as a scratch. Here is the scorecard:

US soldiers murdered - 13
US soldiers wounded - 38

muslims hurt by backlash - 0

KILLEEN, Texas — The Army psychiatrist authorities say killed 13 people and wounded 29 others at the Fort Hood Army Base Thursday was a recent and frequent customer at a local strip club, employees of the club told FoxNews.com exclusively.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came into the Starz strip club not far from the base at least three times in the past month, the club's general manager, Matthew Jones, told FoxNews.com. Army investigators building their case against Hasan plan to interview Jones soon.

"The last time he was here, I remember checking his military ID at the door, and he paid his $15 cover and stayed for six or seven hours," Jones, 37, said.

Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda

Army Major in Fort Hood Massacre Used 'Electronic Means' to Connect with Terrorists

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
Share
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan tried to make contact with people linked to al Qaeda.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

One senior lawmaker said the CIA had, so far, refused to brief the intelligence committees on what, if any, knowledge they had about Hasan's efforts.

re: #103 Mike DeGuzman

The folks at Walter Reed Army Medical Center really missed all the red flags on Maj Hasan's radical and extreme views. They knew about it and did nothing for the sake of political correctness! Maj Hasan was there at WRAMC for 6 years. As a result, 13 dead and more than 2 dozen wounded, 10 of which are in critical condition. They need to hold accountable and discipline those people in charge at WRMAC for this fiasco! I was wondering, does the "don't ask, don't tell" policy applies to the radical islamic extremist muslims in the Army?

I'm all for that as long as not one iota of blame is shifted from Hasan.

Indeed:

From the Telegraph

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

It was the latest in a series of "red flags" about his state of mind that have emerged since the massacre at Fort Hood, America's largest military installation, on Thursday.

Obama snubs Ft. Hood to relax at Camp David (updated)

Dan Riehl checks the President's schedule and learns that Obama's not going to Fort Hood, but rather to Camp David for the weekend. In an update, Dan notes that his predecessor is more sensitive to the situation.

Fox Reports GWB and Laura spent a few hours at Fort Hood, no photo ops. Now that's a CIC.

Are you kidding me? Camp frickin' David? What, does he have a tee time close by? For heaven's sakes, he's the CIC. And he's taking the weekend off? This guy simply doesn't care. Unbelievable via Fox.

11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon House Office Building

2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care - Rose Garden

2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en route Camp David - South Lawn

That Dancing with the Indians conference must have really worn the poor guy out so much he can't spare time to comfort the survivors of the jihadi Major's massacre.

Update: Obama now plans to visit Ft. Hood Tuesday for the memorila service. We're glad he could squeeze it in sometime this week, just to show how much he cares.

"If history is any judge, the Army will find it difficult to impose the death penalty on the accused killer in the bloodiest mass shooting on a U.S. military base in history.

Military experts say Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is almost certain to face capital charges before an Army court-martial. But they warn that death penalty cases are so rare in the military, and so prone to big mistakes, that death sentences rarely stick."

No, I think the strip club issue actually is quite revealing of the underlying theocratic misogynist impulse there-- they go look at 'decadent' western values in action and tell themselves that these are the infidels or whatever that deserve death-- doubtless also yanking their crank over it at the same time. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they had lap dances etc as well. Total hypocrisy.

Do you honestly think that "rotting" or a death sentence will bother this man? He will wear any punishment as a badge of honor, and relish the attention it brings to Allah and himself.

He's going to be there for the memorial - will probably speak to some people when he is there.

I imagine the base is trying to get back to normal as soon as possible - and two presidential trips - one in the immediate aftermath and another for the memorial would have hampered that.

Someone -- based on these allegations -- certainly dropped the ball here...)

A key U.S. senator called Sunday for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs that the man accused of opening fire at Fort Hood had embraced an increasingly extremist view of Islamic ideology.

Sen. Joe Lieberman's call came as word surfaced that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there. Whether Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Classmates participating in a 2007-2008 master's program at a military college complained repeatedly to superiors about what they considered Hasan's anti-American views. Dr. Val Finnell said Hasan gave a presentation at the Uniformed Services University that justified suicide bombing and even told classmates that Islamic law trumped the U.S. Constitution.

Well, I'm officially old. I got an iPhone and I still haven't made a phone call from it. I did manage a text message yesterday.

WTF stands for "Why the face".

re: #237 Walter L. Newton

Yes, but not for criminals that want to die. Executing their type just doesn't seem that much like a punishment.

JS' idea in #229 is more of what I was suggesting earlier, and let the UN complain all they want, that guy still murdered innocent people in cold blood.

An investigation is most certainly warranted as to all the signs missed by his superiors, contemporaries, and odd behaviors, statements, and actions in the runup to the attack last week. Reports indicating that Hasan wanted to contact AQ should have caused great big red flags to go up among all those who were directly responsible for Hasan, and that if Hasan had expressed doubts about the US mission - combining that sentiment with his apparent desire to violate the oaths taken in joining the US Army (protect and defend the US Constitution), by affiliating with a mortal enemy of the US, then action was definitely warranted.

There are apparently communications breakdowns between all those who had relevant information and those who would have to act on it; his commanding officers and fellow soldiers who thought something was amiss.

Really, is that what you tell your kids?

I thought it meant something else. Wrong again.

No, I think the strip club issue actually is quite revealing of the underlying theocratic misogynist impulse there-- they go look at 'decadent' western values in action and tell themselves that these are the infidels or whatever that deserve death-- doubtless also yanking their crank over it at the same time. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they had lap dances etc as well. Total hypocrisy.

Misogynistic - yes. Madness, yes. What is it with these muslim extremists hiding behind their religion and then disobeying that religion hours before they kill people? I don't have any idea what is going on in their crazy minds.
