Terrorism USA: Al Quaeda-spouting gunner assassinates fellow soldiers

There has been so much to remain sensitive to these past several days.  November 11 is widely celebrated, with somber undertones, for the sacrifice of WWI men and women from the USA and Canada too.  I saw a moment of commemoration from Britain's royal family, as well.  The date has remained a constant

But, this year lashing thru Armistice Day / Veterans Day, already having commemorated the fall of Communism more recently, lashing thru everything was the apparent terrorist attack on a facility and its occupants at Fort Hood, Texas, USA.  Many soldiers dead, even more wounded.  Surviving it all, the terrorist shooter.

The terrorist Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, was a military psychiatrist.  Now he faces chareges of 13 counts of murder.

...[I]nformation about the background of the alleged shooter has surfaced in the media. The criticisms, which initially focused on the failure of the administration and the Army to use the word “terrorism” or “jihadism” in connection with Fort Hood, are now being merged with ... the Obama administration’s approach toward terrorism generally.

This is the nation's second 9/11, a small kill-score compareed to the first, but lethal  beyond it's hideous numbers because it happened within the military and raised questions about the presence of American Muslims among our solders, most of them completely loyal to this country.  But are there a few more jihadist independents in the USA military and other key institutions?
