U.S. Army Specialist Ryan Hill and his daughter, Emma Hill, 3, pray together as they light a candle and lay flowers at the front gate to Fort Hood.

Mr. Lieberman, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," cautioned that it remained too early to draw any definitive conclusions.

Isn't it too bad, Joe, that the facts speak LOUDLY for themselves.

Thank goodness most of us are so morally confused.

Yeah, Islam is a problem at HOME now. Too early to draw conclusions? How about this one: he was a Muslim and hence he shot his colleagues in cold blood.

The Army's top officer, Gen. George Casey, wouldn't rule out that the shooting was an act of terrorism, but cautioned against speculation at this point. "We all want to know what happened and what motivated the suspect, but we need to … let the investigation take its course," he told ABC News's "This Week."

A measured response; I'll accept that. Just so long as they don't ignore it out of some sort of notion of political correctness.

Yeah, let's drag it out so the public forgets about it. And let's blur any findings so that the report is inconclusive. This is part of a cover-up. For anyone with half a brain, this guy is an Islamic jihadist. He is a terrorist.

He may be home-grown, but he looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Doesn’t matter where a duck was grown.

I want to know a lot more about this guy's history. One report said a guy knew him living in Washington a few years ago with two kids, like a single dad. Was he married? If so, how did it end? Does he have kids? Where are they? I hear his parents are dead. How? How did he go from a fairly normal guy in the 1990's to a loner observing an extreme form of Islam?

And how did the Army let that process unfold without investigating his fitness for duty?

Agreed - a duck is a duck no matter where it came from. There may be various varieties of ducks, but they all swim in water and waddle on webbed feet.

Too many politicians are afraid to say the truth.

This was inspired by all the hate preaching by the cult of death.

Mass deportations.

Senator Lierbaman is going for the jugular of late, by not allowing the left its political correctness to go unchallenged he is being a better conservative than the GOP flunkies.

How about this one?...If this is an act of terror could Hasan’s defense claim he was part of the War on Terror AND since he was wearing a uniform is entitled to the protections of a prisoner of war as stipulated by the Geneva Convention? OR, since he was wearing the uniform of the force he was fighting against, could he be considered a spy? Lawyers will try anything. If he survives, classifying this as an act of terrorism could create some unique legal issues.

Lieberman’s caution is well advised. We don’t yet know whether the shooter was a terrorist who intended to effect political change through a public spectacle of violence, or simply a nutjob mass murderer who killed people he hated. Or perhaps something else. We should keep in mind that, no matter what his political or religious sympathies, his intentions remain a mystery.

The Army’s top guy should be measured. They deserve time to study his computer, interview neighbors and friends etc.

His intentions were quite clear to me more than a dozen times that day...

Maybe he should be classified a PoW and the army should take control of him and interrogate him at an army base.
