4. Holy Cow! What a rational response....That would really seem to be the best way to find out the

truth.

But of course that is not as good for ratings as wild speculation and guessing, like some of the other talking heads are doing..

Perhaps as a military person himself, Honore understands that there can be untold and unknown pressures on someone in that man's position.

5. In the Fox interview, his cousin
said he did not want to be deployed to Iraq, he was a psychiatrist who was stationed at Walter Reed helping those coming back from the war try to readjust. He said he heard many horrible stories in the course of his work, He was in the military since right after high school and I think he was around 40. He was transferred to Fort Hood recently and ordered to go to Iraq.

He had asked not to be sent to Iraq and his cousin said he was surprised when he heard today that he was being sent there.

He also said he was subjected to harassment and had tried even hiring a lawyer to try to deal with it. His cousin wanted to emphasize that he was born and raised in the US and was a 'good American'. He was anxious to put to rest any theories that he was involved in any terrorism.

Also said he was not into violence, and didn't even enjoy going to the shooting range. When asked when he had 'become a Muslim', his cousin said he was always a Muslim.

Two other soldiers have been arrested also.

7. On Larry King - major dispute
Edited on Thu Nov-05-09 09:42 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
There's a JAG Officer now claiming that this can only be an act of terrorism by a Jihadist. There's a black woman who smacked him down and said he couldn't know what this man has seen that might have set him off. He asked her if she had ever been in combat. She said she was POW! Major smackdown.

10. That was Shosahna Johnson who was captured in the same incident as Jessica Lynch
She went medieval the jag officer's butt. I kept thinking "how you like tangling with PTSD Mr Jag officer?" He was a moran trying to work up the masses.

I was impressed Mr. Honore too.
