Now that I'm back

BALTIMORE, Maryland August 23, 2013- The news starts again. Having battled several personal setbacks, the time away is over...There is entirely too much to report and comment on to limit this to a single topic or single-subject headline...The Islamic Terrorist disguised as an army major, the man who shot and killed 13 American Soldiers and wounded dozens of others in the worst shooting rampage and mass murder in army history, has been convicted by a military jury of all counts at his trial in Texas.  Permitted to defend himself - and by all accounts doing quite the pathetic job of it - Nidal asked few questions, made few objections and called no witnesses.  He admitted to being the shooter in his opening statement.  His pre-trial efforts consisted mostly of trying, unsuccessfully, to convince the court to allow him to keep his beard.  He was denied.
