Let’s call it what it is

Why is the media so reluctant to call the shootings at Ft. Hood a terrorist act? Are they afraid organizations like CAIR who will get upset if they do? CAIR has already made a statement condemning the act.
“We reiterate the American Muslim community’s condemnation of this cowardly attack. … No political or religious ideology could ever justify or excuse such wanton and indiscriminate violence.” — CAIR Press Release
Most of the so-called reporters in the drive-by media don’t know how to define terrorism. Take a look at this definition of terrorism and then tell me whether you think Nidal Malik Hasan is a terrorist.
The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.
What Hasan did was unlawful, he incited fear. What he did intimated all the residents of Killeen, Texas. We do not yet know his motives, but based on his website postings — calling suicide bombers heroes — we can infer his goals. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s likely a duck.
This is the first terrorist act committed on U.S. soil since the man-child, Barack Hussein Obama, became President. What he does now, will be a true test of whether or not he is prepared to answer that 3:00 AM phone call when there is a bigger attack.
