Rachel Maddow: Why wasn’t Hasan charged with terrorism?
Posted on November 14, 2009 | 8 Comments
Nov. 12: Accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan was rigourously charged currently with thirteen counts of attempted murder though not terrorism. Rachel Maddow is assimilated by George Washington University law highbrow Jonathan Turley to insist why.

Simple BS bdf2718. Hasan’s behavior, in language and writing, gave warning to those who would listen.Listen they did, but no intervention occurred and PC was the reason.Does he really need to CLAIM that he did it?Terrorist DO NOT always give warnings; that is a naive and ill-informed statement!
Not a terrorist?A religiously,ideologically driven individual..a self-identified member of the “Army of Allah”, walks into a Mall and kills dozens of people,would not, by Maddow’s false syllogism,be an Islamic terrorist.Therefore Timothy McVeigh,a single individual,was not a terrorist.Face it hypocrites,you parse and distort the meaning because you don’t want a terrorist act to have occurred during the BO admin(as with everything else,you can’t blame this one on Bush..can you?).
Hasan wasn’t a terrorist. If he was a non-Muslim soldier, there would be no talk of terrorism regarding this event. There is no proof of any larger conspiracy, and if it were a terrorist attack, someone would’ve claimed responsibilty by now. Terrorists always do. No one has, so this isn’t terrorism.
*By the way, she mocks Glenn Beck quite nicely*
I’m in the UK and have lived through some of “the troubles.”
Terrorists give warnings (but not far enough in advance to be useful). Terrorists give warnings of events that never happen. Terrorists ALWAYS claim (before or afterwards) that it was done by them (even if it wasnt, which is why codewords were introduced).
This guy isn’t a terrorist.
In some cases I agree, however I have been watching a fair bit of O’Reilly on this issue and while he’s had some guests overstate the evidence he has been very patient and fact based in his assessments. He waited until (and credited) ABC produced evidence of Hasan’s contact with Al Quada (through his former cleric) and several statements were found before saying what Maddow showed on her program.
PC is going to kill us all!!!!
I see terrorists as people carrying out an act to frighten a larger population, make people change their habits, change the political discourse, etc. Just like they did on 911. So i think it depends on whether the perpetrator had an agenda or not. I guess we’ll find out eventually, regardless of what the talking heads of Fox scream about. They would call anything terrorism.
This was an act of terrorism in the mold of Tim McVeigh. An anti-American nut committing an act of mass murder to scare the government out of it’s current policies and overall political direction. And how is the Dr. Tiller murder not terrorism? It was murder to scare people from providing abortions. It seems Rachel and her guest seem intent on shrinking the definition so it can only be done by large public groups that survive the action capable of repeating the attack.
