Charles Krauthammer on the media coverage of the Fort Hood shooting

Charles Krauthammer on the media coverage of the Fort Hood shooting - washingtonpost.com: "What does such violence have to do with Hasan? He was not a returning soldier. And the soldiers who returned home and shot their wives or fellow soldiers didn't cry 'Allahu Akbar' as they squeezed the trigger.

The delicacy about the religion in question -- condescending, politically correct and deadly -- is nothing new. A week after the first (1993) World Trade Center attack, the same New York Times ran the following front-page headline about the arrest of one Mohammed Salameh: 'Jersey City Man Is Charged in Bombing of Trade Center.'

Ah yes, those Jersey men -- so resentful of New York, so prone to violence."
