To admit that means the Patriot Act has failed. To have a terrorist infiltrate the Military would be a major blow to the administration and most government agencies. Most of all, it would show the terrorists that American security is full of holes.

No, I do not think the public will know the truth anytime soon.
Pat Tillman ring a bell ?
I don't think we can say the Patriot Act failed because of this alone and I do not agree the government will say is was mental stress. I think they will call it as they see it..

We do want his head. But not for a thing like this, had it happened on his watch. For his actual crimes.

You should look up the definitions of big words like "treason" before you use them in sentences.

Treason is a high crime committed against the country, or aid and comfort to the enemy. Multiple murders don't count. When was the last time you called "treason" when one soldier killed another? Huh?

Think a little bit, people. Extremist hyperbole like this is really bad for your reputation.

When a member of the military goes over to the other side it is TREASON.
This guy was a Major in the US Army who betrayed his Oath and took up Arms against the United States. TREASON

Can't rep ya..have to spread around to others.

Spot on Boompa. This should be an open and shut case but PC and our government's fear of saying the "T" word will prolong this.

My point being that Treason should be added to the 13 counts of Murder and he should be tried by the Army

Please point out exactly how I am extremist. Almost every position I defend here is wildly popular with the American public. E.g., single-payer health care.

I think the wingnuts on this board are very much out-of-touch with mainstream America. E.g., supporting Sarah Palin, being opposed to the current health care proposals, extemist claims about President Obama, etc.

The liberals here are mainstream, for the most part.
