Fox News publishes an AP report containing excerpts from letters written to newspapers by Washington state National Guardsman, Spc. Ryan G. Anderson
"In my three years as an observant Muslim, I've encountered nothing but kindness, patience, courtesy and understanding from them."
Interesting that this young man refers to Muslims as "them" three years after becoming an "observant" member of that faith.
And although not completely unheard of, interesting too that a graduate of a Pac-10 University is willing to serve as an E4 in the military, a bit below his potential. Perhaps no commissioning opportunities were immediately available in the Washington Guard. Perhaps they only "promote from within". Or perhaps the guy was just that eager to serve.
More insight into the mindset of the accused here.
Lots more to come on this, I'm sure, but thus far I'm inclined to agree with "another Army official" quoted here:
One Army official told Fox News that Anderson violated the disclosure oath he took when he joined the Army if he talked about his unit's upcoming deployment to Iraq. Another Army official simply described Anderson as "stupid," and what he did as "stupid."
Update: Hook has a two word headline I agree with too.
