"There were plenty of indications that Major Hassan was behaving in an odd manner. Nothing was done about that. In my judgment it is not stupid to ask why nothing was done. It is not stupid to pay attention to probabilities. It is certainly not less stupid to attempt to confiscate a retired general's Medal of Honor at an airport in the name of political correctness. 'Extra scrutiny rather than extra tolerance' may not be the proper policy, but suggesting that as a policy does not deserve the kind of obloquy I have been receiving. Of course it's usual to denounce any questioning of political correctness. That, after all, is the politically correct thing to do..."-- Jerry Pournelle, trying to say the right thing - and do the right thing - when so many think right is wrong, AKA the Current View.
