To Blue Texan’s post I can only add Fox’s Brian Kilmeade:
“Do you think it’s time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers — anybody enlisted?”
And possible GOP House candidate Allen West:
“….the horrible tragedy at Fort Hood is proof the enemy is infiltrating our military.”
I would urge people to read David Kilcullen’s book The Accidental Guerrilla and think very, very hard about where collective guilt can lead.

Special debriefings? Pretty soon, anytime FOX News [sic] tries to interview a Muslim officer, they’ll be worried about being kidnapped and taken to Gitmo.
It’s hard to argue with this special kind of foolishness without being drawn into a debate about who the shooter was, what motivated him, and where his demons originate. But for those who are tempted to believe they know more than the rest of us and can offer policy prescriptions and conclusions this early on, I will just remind them: for hours yesterday, we all thought the shooter was dead.
So, please don’t base anything you think you know on preliminary information. We’ll find out all we need to know, all in good time. And to impugn the patriotism and loyalty of other servicemembers who share a faith, a national heritage, a last name, a marital status, a profession, a skin tone, or a degree-granting institution with the shooter is horribly unfair and, in all aspects, un-American.
So let’s just stop, okay, FOXies?
How about Darryl Issa.
