#1 This retired Col needs to shut the F up. Let the people who sort this do their job.

#2 i would bet that if the Col did shut up , then the blatant red flags here would never be made known and the whole episode would quietly be swept under the rug and the PC bull crap that led to this would not only continue but be reinforced.

on the other hand, he should stick only to the things he personally heard/saw, and leave out the 3rd party inuendo

#3 "Let the people who sort this do their job."

The same people who declared that this was "no terrorist attack" without knowing a damn thing about it.
Sorry. I just don't trust those people anymore.

#4 I would rather have the facts up front and sort thru the media inspired conspiracy theories afterwards.

I can wait.

#5 MSM: he suffered from PTSD from the evil Boosh war
fact: he never deployed ...until now

MSM: recent convert to Islam who nonetheless suffered from slurs from fellow officers
fact: he was a lifetime muslim who was pious and handed out Qurans while extolling the virtues of suicide bombers

The furious spin to avoid calling this Jihadi POS just what it was needs to be smacked upside its' PC head

But Frank... if you give it the terms of reference, then you MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT by examining the entire organization and process to include entry and commissioning.

#7 Please keep in mind that when he gave the interview, Dr. Lee and everyone else in the world thought the murderous bastard was dead.

I can't wait for conspiracy fruitcakes to come out and say he was framed.

#8 life long worshipper
from palestine
bio-chemist
psychiatrist
no children

Thats one heady brew

Surely formal complaints about his conduct to returning troops should have been thoroughly investigated? If not , why not ?

His profile alone is dubious and should have had alarm bells ringing .

#9 I have no problem with that, Pan.

#10 At least it's Texas. Hopefully they'll fry him fast.

Unless the fucking Feds get ahold of him, then we'll be in the courts for years. How long did it take to crisp McVeigh? They still haven't put an end to the DC snipers.

#11 A major - he'll be courts martial. However, the appeal judges in the military system haven't allowed an execution in a loooooog time. Moving him to a federal civilian court would set a bad precedent that some seek to remove uniform individuals from a jury of their peers. Remember the case in CA in which the fed was trying to prosecute the soldier/marine for actions in Iraq?

#12 The Feds have it, it was on a Federal Military Reservation.

#13 He was an active duty officer, so it isn't the Fed DOJ, it's the US Army JAG and the UCMJ. This is a hanging offense and the Army will hang him.

#14 Will the feds, FBI, investigate it and then go to a military court? I would think that due to it being on a military post DOD will want this one. I don't know the law, but this seems right.

#15 We'll be lucky if he's not released as a nut case and permitted to medically retire from the Army.

#16 I don't think he'll be executed. Sgt Hasan Akbar is still above room temperture and he fragged officers in a combat zone. Surely I thought he would be put down long ago, but sadly he is not (AFAIK)

#17 Premeditated Capital Murder of unknown persons, and "murder of a peace officer or firefighter acting in the line of duty, when the person knows the victim is a peace officer or firefighter", and "murder of more than one person in one event, or of multiple persons in a related series of events" puts the dude in the fastlane if it goes to Texas courts.

#19 If the DOD won't put him down they should convict and then transfer him to the State of Texas jurisdiction for proper disposal.

#20 A little late now, but it really is incredible that these recollections from COL(Ret) Lee and others are just NOW coming out. This is a TOTAL BREAKDOWN IN LEADERSHIP! I US Army Commander's Inquirey should have been initiated the first time this SOB spouted this anti American drivel.
