...Whether Hasan was deranged or a terrorist is immaterial to the families of the people slaughtered at Fort Hood. The long list of red flags you listed should have alerted anyone with a shred of common sense. Drastic changes in policies and procedures should be implemented immediately, or soon the expression "military intelligence" will be interpreted as a contradiction in terms.

...Barack Obama has likewise given way to bitter disappointment over the American's slow, consensual method of reform - and his refusal to return Sarkozy's public displays of affection. There's also the pesky issue of human rights.

...next week to consider the impact of a last-minute addition to a provision barring dispensaries from operating within a certain distance of sensitive-use areas. Previously, sensitive-use areas included schools, public parks and places of worship, but the council went on to include private residences in the list and increase the operating distance from 500 ft. to 1,000 ft. Some opponents say the provision is not viable and will force law-abiding dispensaries to either relocate to largely remote, industrial areas of the city or shut down altogether. "Council members have to come to their senses...
