Cynthia Tucker On The Fort Hood Tragedy

Tucker notes that the fact that the suspected shooter is reportedly a Muslim "will certainly permeate reporting and commentary and influence broader perceptions of the mass murder at Ft. Hood." "Let's not get carried away by that news," she continues. "There are many devout Muslims in the U.S. Armed Forces who have served their country bravely, some offering the highest sacrifice--giving their lives in battle."
