Pfc. Naser Abdo
Regarding LaughingStock Media coverage:
I first heard about this as the lead story on the 2-minute waste of time ABC radio news this morning.
They mentioned he was AWOL since about 4th of July. They mentioned he was found with guns and bomb ingredients. They mentioned he was fingered by the same gun store where Hasan shopped.
What they didn't say spoke volumes. No hint of motive, no mention of religion, no give-away name. Reporter might as well have said, he's not a Republican Christian Fundamentalist named Smith or Jones!

The Other McCain: Like Hasan, Abdo may have taken some of his inspiration from Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born Islamic cleric who is among the leaders of the Yemen-based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). One senior U.S. official told ABC News that after Abdo was arrested at a Killeen, Texas hotel Wednesday, Abdo mentioned the name of al-Awlaki. … and is the son of a Jordanian who was deported after being caught in an online sting operation for attempting to solicit a 15-year-old girl.
