I’m really trying to ignore the wingnut blogs these days, but I noticed some links from bloggers who are making a big deal out of the fact that my headline said “Fort Hood Shooter Identified as a Major”. Apparently they were expecting some other M word.

I still think it’s headline-worthy that he is a Major in the US Army, sorry. Even more so, now that info is coming out about the warning signs he was broadcasting.

The fact that his name is Nidal Malik Hasan is right there in my post, and I usually expect my readers to be smart enough to figure out it’s a Muslim name without bludgeoning them in the face with it.
