" We -- now learning about. Your children before -- shootings arrived Oklahoma City just yesterday specialist Jason dean -- body flown in. Two Will Rogers airports. Funeral services have not yet been set hunt was one of thirteen killed and the massacre at Fort -- eight days ago. A massacre that many of the media seem determined to blame on. Stress. Judith Miller national security analyst with -- Manhattan institute a Pulitzer prize winning journalist. And Fox's contributor good morning to you would redouble blogs that we do you read all the newspapers that we do what you find in the story coverage -- Leon."

" I found the bias or are kind of -- desire to exonerate. Major Hassan on one hand almost like they were televised -- it really wasn't his fault because it's very unusual syndrome of posttraumatic stress but acquired by someone who would never actually been in battle."

" Before he was about to go -- that I think that is a great point in that people talked about that ad nauseam for the first three days he has not been to Iraq or Afghanistan. That profile does not fit."

" This -- exactly. And that's what we have to ask now is how did this man become radicalized humble self radicalized. With out his superiors in the military chain of command knowing about it. And that is what President Obama has now asked the Defense Department and the FBI to go back and look at. And that those instructions. Were put into writing yesterday in the presidential my."

" I have read your article in the LA times should be a yet a lot of criticism for the left. Yes but what you consider mainstream media entirely missing the point driving home points that have no relevancy."

" Psycho about what else -- you guys suck so bad -- well the problem is there's also kind of bias on the part of right wing commentators as well. Which is that this is Islam. And this is what we have to be wearing -- in the military. You know what major Hassan did. Is not Islam it's not -- 99.9. Percent of the Muslims on this planet everywhere not just United States. Would define as Islamic belief and practice and as the president said. There is no god no loving god that would condemn what he did so I think we have to."

" Be wary and then slipping into blaming the religion I think that's a fair point that nobody's blaming Islam here last -- Commentator Lamy has -- and no one especially up here now. And no -- saying gang up on Muslims in the US now -- at some of which there -- about 4500 I believe between active reserve duty yes."

" High number that yes and they many of them have performed courageously -- I think what we have to be. Really adamant about is -- this distinction between extremists. Terrorists people who believe in ideology which undermines this country. Who call themselves -- and who are motivated by a perverse. Interpretation. Of the faith. Those are the people you have to be aware of and that's the question has to be raised if major -- Was promoted when he held these views if he was permitted to give PowerPoint demonstrations. About who why the war on terrorism war on Islam if all of this happened -- he was still promoted and sent to Fort Hood. How it happened."

" Judith Miller thank you for your time today -- he's the only time also also we have heard today also the attorney. For his son is saying that doctors have told his client. That he is paralyzed from the waist down that."
