A comprehensive analysis of recent items in the news surrounding the Ft Hood shooting and an interesting take on the coincidence of the shooting happening in proximity to Veterans Day and Obama's decision to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Skepticism abounds on so called terrorist acts ever since Bush used these as an excuse to wage preemptive war. It seems too logical that this shooting would happen on the eve of his decision to send out more troops and with a growing anti-war sentiment among the general American population.
This is absolutely amazing. We have the most well equipped military and intelligence agencies in the world and yet they can’t stop known terror suspects with simple box ... More »

This is yellow journalism. The writer is obviously politicaly prejuduuced aginst MSNBC and sees them as a left wing consiracy of sorts. He also appears to be strongly affiliated or at least in step with the right wing poltical agenda, known to have infamously used "astro-turf" corporate backed organizations to populate town halls with fake "people". What MSNBC is doing is not fake. There's nothing at all fake about real health clinics offering real medical services. This is a great charitable gesture on the part of MSNBC. The right has a history of self projection of their misgivings upon their left opponents as a form of defense.
