J.A. Williams, I believe there is rather too much evidence to suspend judgement and this site is a “court” of public opinion, not a court of law. As to whether Obama was being circumspect, I did not find him particularly circumspect in the Gates affair. In fact, he rushed to judgement and I don’t find him hesitant when it comes to prejudicing the public against those he dislikes. Furthermore, I consider anyone who kills innocent, unarmed people a loon. However, could anyone have been more psychologically damaged than M. Atta? Do you have difficulty finding Atta a terrorist ? Hasan was functioning and able to pre-meditate these murders. I believe that dis-qualifies him for an insanity plea.
