Evening Anderson and everyone. I am stil puzzled by the actions of Major Hasan. Its so hard to pinpoint what made him kill and wound all of those people.

Good Evening Everyone!

Helloooo Anderson, Erica, Ed Henry, David Gergen Martina Ilstad, Emily and my friends Twitter/Facebook Bloggers!!!!!
Happy Tuesday Night, HUGS!

Good evening Anderson, Erica, Megan, Martina, & Bloggers!

This story is so sick!
I can't believe that so much was missed or ignored!

Was that woman trying to commit suicide on the subway tracks?

Good Evening Everyone! Such a sad stories in today's headlines...!

This was supposed to be a memorial for the victims, but Obama wasted the first two minutes thanking his friends in the front row.

why did we not keep a closer tab on this person. where is the cia when we need them!!

Good evening Anderson and all bloggers. An emotional day with the memorial service at Ft. Hood. It was very moving and the President gave wonderful remarks.

I am glad our president Obama and First Lady Michelle arrived at Fort Hood TX for Memorial service to comfortable the victims lost love ones.

Give me a break! Next thing they will claim is that Hasan's religion made him crazy.

I keep hearing from the D. C. Sniper's lawyers that he had a mental illness, but I don't ever hear what specific illness they are referring to. Do you know?

What better way for a terrorist to hide than hide in plain sight?

Hasans life sounds very sad.

I watched the memorial today and it was hard to not tear up. It was sad that when they did the final roll call that it was every other name that was called was the name of a soldier that was killed

The Power Point presentation should have been enough. Why didn't the doctors at Walter Reed report this when it happened?

Emily,
Nope, I think she was murdered by someone not suicide on subway on track.

That 'power point presentation is sick! What a red flag that is!
work for a psychiatrist?
how is that so?
why would fellow American soldiers need counseling with that?!

Evening everyone
it is heart breaking what Major Hasan did. i wounder why everday !!! what was goin through his head.
anyway i hope that they wont connect it with islam or anything related to it .

Snapped? Hasan carefully planned this attack, he didn't just start shooting on the base, he chose a confined area of unarmed people!

It is sad that all these lives were lost, especially when they were surrounded by people they thought they could trust, people they would have gladly given their lives for, that they THOUGHT would do the same for them...instead, their lives were taken. Sad...

Anderson, I don't know why the fact that he acted alone makes him not a terrorist. Since when does someone need to be a member of a conspiracy to be a terrorist, or to be motivated by terrorist ideology? Official orders aren't necessary.

Kathy, Andover,
John Allen Mummand was also metal illness to his former attorney, I think, He lost his children and divorce 2 wives, that his personal reason.

Major Hassan was in Islamic terrorist, pure and simple. All the apologists in the world can never get around that simple fact. A rose by any other name.....

Why are we still referring to Hasan as the 'alleged' shooter? Is there still a question of what happened?

Good evening everyone. I am happy the President and first lady went to Fort Hood today.

evening everyone..i forgot my password... so no photo tonite...im in los angeles and on a different computer.

I think that he was scared to head to the War and have it found that he is a Muslim–fearing that he could become captured and tortured.

I really dont think that Hasan went off like that because he is a terrorist, I think he just cracked. Being in the position he is in and listeing to countless soldiers tell of their experiences and details about certain things that happen, I think he let them get to him and finding out that he is being sent to Afghanistan is what brought him to the end of his rope

Why all these excuses, bottom line he killed soldiers, defenseless soldiers, he is a terrorist!! Crazy, yes....but nonetheless a terrorist!

Major Hasan is a terriorist and performed an act of terror at Ft Hood. Unless we are willing to believe that this slaughter is terror, we will never be able to guard against terriorist in America.

I noticed at the Memorial Service several of the dead were mental health workers. I know there was a psych nurse and a psychologist among the dead. Does anyone think he singled them out? I guess I can just as easily believe that this was an isolated incident probably triggered by his upcoming deployment rather than any kind of conspiracy.

Am I the only person who feels a little threatened by these radical Muslims that gather outside these prayer halls and spew anti-American word to passersby? Doesn't this seem quite alarming to anyone? I am nowhere near these people, but I feel threatened HERE!

The media is so focused on this man's religion that no one is asking the most important question –how was he able to purchase a weapon in the local community that could fire more than 100 rounds in a few minutes? It was not a military isssued weapon that was used.

Like all other shootings done by mentally unbalanced "loners" the real concern is their easy access to such destructive weapons.

Why aren't we asking the NRA why they continue to make such weapons purchases possible.? This is truly a crime.

hey anderson, whats the latest on the reports of bullying directed at major hassan and the reports that he was trying to leave the army, has the military responded to this? all the best pat

The army missed the warning signs. They should have checked this guy out.

I think the guy at the gun store who sold him the ammo and the guns should be checked....did he request clearance thru the FBI to sell these items...and if he did...why didn't the FBI notice that this was the same guy contacting overseas operatives?? Did the FBI miss something?

It's funny how the Radical Muslim groups preaching hate in the streets of New York are able to do so only because of an amendment that protects them

Good evening Anderson. Homegrown hate is so scary! These men are very frightening.

@Anderson,
Glad to see your name on the Blog tonight....
this story about the "homegrown hate" is very distributing!

If they hate the American way of life, well, Delta is ready when they are. They can leave.

I think the Fort Hood shooter was bullied. I do not agree with what he did at all but It is no different than kids in high schools or even elementary age children. It happens in office buildings; it just happened this week! We see it on the streets in every neighborhood. Why should we be surprised an adult would take action into his own hands to stop being bullied.

Congrats to the state of Virginia, to know that the 2 monsters known as the DC Snipers sat out in front of my son's middle school and had it on their "hit list" before being caught makes my stomach turn.Virginia is the #2 state in our country for executions and more states should follow. Many victims(families) can sleep well tonight knowing this execution has taken place.Lets make sure Lee Malvo never leaves prison unless he is in a box feet first.

If Nidal Hasan was deployed to Afghanistan , he would've been certainly targeted as an ethnic person helping the US army and it was very unlikely that he would 've come back alive. He was aware of this and may have viewed his deployment as a certain death sentence, and this may have set him off. He was an unstable individual no doubt, and given the stress of deployment and the horrors of wars that he experience thru from the soldiers he counseled, it is certainly not surprising what he did.

My son in law and brother are both in the military, i'm sick to think our military leaders allowed this man to not only continue his military career but get promoted to Major, all without checking into his back ground more, now we have our own brave soliders gone forever because of our lack of concern, now starts the finger pointing. I pray for all the familys its so upsetting

@Greg Sexton –

Too many reporters have been sued for libel or slander for not including that "alleged" before a person has been convicted of something. So it's pretty standard practice in journalism to use the word "alleged" until there's a conviction, no matter what the circumstances.

This officer was a coward. He was scared to death after hearing what we "Soldiers" have had to deal with over there. He was trying everything in the book to take the easy way out of the deployment. He probably cracked and decided that the only way out of the deployment was to do the unthinkable.

Now this Mental Health Officer is going to use the system to get out of the death penalty. May he die a painful death.

Wow, why don't these unhappy extremists take their butts home. He's talking about people go home to native country...hello...get packing!

Whether he acted alone or complicitly he is still a terrorist.he planed this,we have a 'smoking gun'

Evening everyone....
As I said last week when this first broke, someone got into this mans cookie jar one too many times and he snapped. A shame, but it happens way too often. The next day in florida, and today in oregon, someone hit their breaking point and took it to a level 99.9999% of us would never consider.

This radical Muslim group that follow, praise and revere Bin Laden and gloat at Fort Hood victims are nothing but deranged psychopaths.

Anderson,
Hi!
Whatever motivated Major Hasan's attack, he was certainly influenced by his religion and the terrorist mindset.

Yikes! Don't monitor them, kick them out of the country. They are crazy.

If these men who say they hate America and hate Americans, then why are they here? No one is holding them here, they can leave, they have the freedom to go if they want

I'd really like to see CNN do in-depth interviews with some of these "radical" Muslims. I'd like to know what event in their lives led them to be so hateful. I'm guessing exterior forces (people) in their lives started brainwashing them as a very young age. There is something terribly wrong when someone makes a comment that they love someone they've never met more than they love themselves.

I don't get how the muslims are allowed to Terrorize people for not believing how they do. If they don't like America and the freedoms that we have here then they need to get out of this great country! America needs to get people out of America like these muslims out of this country. You can't yell FIRE in a crowded movie theater and you sure as heck shouldn't be allowed to spew such hatred for this country that actually gives these people (for lack of a better word) a forum to breed hatred in this country.

I don't believe all of the Muslim Americans believe in this hate. Unfortunately the masses will paint all Muslims with one brush...

These men do not deserve to live in this great nation.

Why are these men permitted to spew their hatred. This is not free speech, it is a threat of terrorism.

These guys could not do this in other western countries. It would be considered inciting violence.

Evening, bloggers

people with these feelings in this report that Drew is reporting on is just awful, sick!
this is a great panel here, with Peter Bergen and Jeffery Toobin.

Investigators have not found any evidence for a co-conspirator or the shooting as an act of terrorism. It seems like he kept his secrets pretty well. Nothing is known about Major Hasan. The criminal specialist stated that most terrorists keep their religious views to themselves but this is America, freedom of religion; a terrorist's cover would not be blown if he practiced the Islamic faith, even to an extreme.

Haven't this government learned from 9/11 not to ignore the signs, the FBI and his work and class associates knew what he was saying. He should have been watched closer or pulled him in. He should "NOT" have been in our military because of his views.

Hello Anderson, glad to see you on the blog, we notice you even without your picture.

Does the guy who wants to see a "mushroom" cloud over Israel realize that the Palestians and Jordanians and on and on would also die?

These guys are "fundamentalists" and are just as irrational as other fundamentalists who feel that only they know what is "right"!

What about the monitoring that they did on Hasan?

How naive the American public can be. Hasan was not part of a group so he is not a terrorist? Islamic Jihadist? Carol, Greg Sexton and Carol are right. He went on a rampage because he he was a radical muslim and therefore a jihadist.

I don't think major hasan was a terrorist, but I firmly believe that he should pay for his actions and I feel sorry for all the innocent individuals who lost their lives by his rampage.

Good evening everyone, Anderson, Erica, bloggers , and AC360 team What's up with Radical Muslims? They say that things like 9/11 is to scare people...? Well , I guess they went too far. And they were talking about thinking twice before killing your brothers and sisters and such.... well... if the actions are no better or no different, that means that they are no different than the people that they accuse... Isn't being equal such a strange thing??

Anderson, My husband just deployed Oct. 12th and we were stationed at Fort Hood. Sadly we did know some of the victims and wounded soldiers. as a spouse of a soldier that just left Fort Hood...I have to say several of us spouses had to come together just to try and figure out just how to handle this news with our spouses given they just left Fort Hood and they get woke up to be briefed that their home base had a massacre and their friends and fellow soldiers were dead or wounded. It's beyond upsetting as all of our military bases should be a safe haven for us military families. None of us believe this is a lone gunman nor do we believe he's not connected to JIHAD...Sadly, it's known that there are infiltrators of various kinds that are in our military. Second, if a soldier passes their ASVAB test with high scores and has credentialed college education they can come in at a higher rank (possibly an NCO level) this means they don't fratinis with lower rank soldiers; if they were made to then more than likely our soldiers would figure them out quickly. something to look into and think of..!

I deployed to Iraq in February 2003. We worked with very honorable Muslim translators. Our lives were in their hands everytime we went on patrol in Sinjar and the surrounding communities.

I am honored to see that the Muslim Community has taken a public stance on denouncing what happened. This needs to be stepped up by the entire Muslim Community across the Nation. Their support and involvement within the rest of American Culture would demistify their religion.

Anderson,

While I am saddened and shocked by the Ft. Hood Massacre, I feel that the Major joined the service because he loved America. It was after he joined we went to war with Muslims in their land. He is a devout Muslim. It cause conflict within him. He tried to quit the service, honorably, offering to pay back for the training he had had in his field. He did not want to fight those who were in his roots. Instead the armed services made him stay, to listen day after day to hear the the horrible stories of war, against "his people". It eventually drove him to the point of what happened, as he was going to be sent over to kill those who believed as he in his faith. it was too much. He should have been listened too on a more intense level of understanding, and more questions asked when he wanted out. Perhaps empathy was not a part of the equation, but should have been.

This was horrible, my heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones or had loved one injured.
My question is: Who treats the psychiatrists when they are having a meltdown?

There were so many more options other than killing soldiers to get out of going to Iraq, the most obvious one being AWOL (absence without leave) . I heard one of his patient's committed suicide, anyone looking into what he might have said or done to our Soldiers who sought him for treatment. I don't know just makes me wonder.

Hello Anderson...Love your show.
In regards to the Ft.Hood shootings...I know the United States is the land of the free...a melting pot of the world's people; However, I'm strongly against anyone who is not born and raised in these United States..to join our military in any compacity. I realize there's no guarantees that our own people won't turn on Americans..but why should we increase the odds with people who were not raised with American beliefs and love for fellow Americans..it's something that can be avoided..& we should do anything & everything to protect our Military...Whatever it takes..No excuse..No red tape..and No Political double talk!! Thank you for your ear..Kristin from Schenectady, New York...Good Night

This is not merely inciting violence. This is treason! When I cannot walk down the street without fearing a radical Muslim might kill me, their freedom on American soil, citizen or not, should be restricted.

The friend of my enemy is my enemy. This is treason!

Evening Erica...
These guys would never get away with this kind of talk in any other country then here...

Good evening everyone! Been away for a while.

What a sad situation. I really appreciate Jeff Toobin's insights on free speech. It's truly a difficult situation.

These groups should not be in the country
Round them with there Familys and get rid of them
Then Maybe we will be safe

I can't believe these people preaching death to our president and others are allowed to remain here by the 1st ammendment? They ARE the very terrorists we should bring the marines in to eliminate. This is unbelievable to hear! It is time we decide to remove these haters no matter what our constitution says.

Clearly Hasan was a terrorist. he didn't just snap but planned his attack and said his goodbyes. pc correctness is preventing people from stating the obvious

Ironically, the Muslim street preachers shouting death to democracy are doing it in a country that allows them to do it BECAUSE it is a democracy.

@ Maureen T, Canada,

I don't think that people are "painting all Muslim Americans like this".... these people in this story are Muslim Americans!

They are not everyone, however, they need to be watched!

We create these radical groups by our backward Middle East Foreign Policy. The influence of the Israel lobby drives foreign policy. Unfortunately, the policy that they advocate is foolish and does not benefit Israel or the United States. God forbid one criticizes an Israeli policy, if they do... they are anti-semetic

Major Hasan I presume enlisted before 9-11, and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think possibly these subsequent events put him in a mental/ideological conflict that he just couldn't cope with and unfortunately this conflict exploded into violence. I understand he tried to get out of the forces but was unable to do so because he "owed" time due to the funding of his education by the U.S. Military. Sympathy to all you suffered losses as a result, but perhaps when enlisted personnel are recruited and then the nation subsequently "goes to war" with certain members of their homeland/regligious group perhaps they should be more closely monitored by U.S. forcees for any conflict issues they may be dealing with.

Everyone is complicating this by searching for some magical reason why these terrorists do these things, but sometimes it is just a matter of choice. It is as simple as that.

These radical Muslims are extremely bold. They are in America and are inciting hatred and encouraging murder at that. They do not fear speaking out against America. – in America. What are they doing in America if they have no love for America and its policies? They do not care two hoots about America. They should be deported back to their country. The American government is too lenient and passive with such people. Some of them may very well be receiving government assistance at US taxpayers expense. Get them out of the US!
If they can spew hatred, then I can write this and CNN should allow this on their blog.

Toronto, Canada

These Revolutionary Muslims who want death to AMERICANS should get out of this WONDERFUL COUNTRY!!!!!

The law should state: Anyone or Group who preaches HATE of any KInd – PROMOTES DEATH should be Arrested....and Deported....

THAT'S WHAT I THINK.....

Seems to be muslim night, one executed one being debated, nuts in New York openly praising death to Americans.... amazing never thought I would see this......Liberals you may have caused this.......

How about a side by side comparrison of the Republican and Democratic versions of health care reform and an AC 360 evaluation of the effectiveness of both...? I would really love to see something like this... would make it easier to digest.

all religons are meant to control and that is what they do

What is the significants of the DC sniper dying @ 9:11 p.m. Tonight.

When are we (Americans) gonna stop worrying about being politically correct and treat these people like they need to be treated.Fight fire with fire. I'm still waiting for the "shock and awe" Bushed promised 8 years ago. We need to hit hard and strong and be the superpower we are.

I do have to say that it is not fair to automatically say that the reason why someone did something is because of their nationality or religion. If it were someone else, say someone of Vietnamese descent, his descent would not come up. We all have to remember that we have the freedom of religion in our constitution and there are many religions here and not everyone is against us.

Anderson, all terrorist are wrong.but let's not kid ourselves,terrorism did not start with islam,do we not remember the ku,klux,klan,or the skin heads or even street gangs in this country it's all wrong some americans are being terrorised in their community's every day.What about the terrorist Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.We are painting a picture that islamic muslims are terrorist.I'm not islam or muslim but I see some hypocrisy.I suggest to watch all terrorist groups or people no matter what religion. Remember African Americans were being terrorised on a regular bases in this country,the lynchings,church bombings etc.., and still no one has been brought to justice.

I thought after 911 our government promised they would have better communication with each other. Here we have the Army, the FBI and "terrorist watchdogs" all in place to watch for our safety and yet again "nobody thought it was a genuine threat". If someone is doing "research" for months or years on suicide and murder and we see a power point presentation about it, I would say the red flags should be flying up all over the place.

Hasan not a terrorist? I question that entirely..I personally think he is a domestic bred terrorist. Perhaps not part of a group but still a person causing terrorism. The Fact that we "Tolerate" terrorism in this country by allowing others to gather in public to insight hatred against the country in which they live should be a Federal Crime. The first ammendment for freedom of speech I'm sure was not put forth for such intended purposes!

I was so angered by these muslim radicals that I could'nt see straight. Im thinking that the Supreme Court should pass a "new" law that will send these war mongers right back to their beloved third world nation. It was appaling to see them (radicals) shouting at innocent bystanders. America is a great country, how dare we allow this?.....Mr. President make them all get out, and never let them come back!!

Just watched your piece on the 2 Muslim Extremists. Are you joking? They should be tried for TREASON! They are enemies of the State and should be removed from our society at large.
America has sold its self out with Policital Correctness and we are in danger. Dont underestimate their message. It is clear: We are in a Holy War. American Christian values are under siege as are all Christians around the world and the sad truth is that our enemies are beginning to attack us from within.

Anderson! I am a Muslim vetrain who served honorably in the US military. As a Muslim, American and Vetrain I want to condemn Major Hassan's alleged actions against his oath and uniform code. Our islamic faith is free and clear from preaching such acts. My heart goes to all victims who are fallen and I urge everyone not to link this terror acts to Islam as this might create substantial unrest for those Muslims in Uniform serving our Nation Honorably.

I recently lost a friend over seas and was disgusted to hear the radical muslim group talking about how they want to see the american troops fail and how they hate america. If they hate america so much what is stopping them from leaving?!

As heart broken as I was today listening to the memorial for those innocents killed at Ft. Hood, I am equally disturbed to hear the conversation on air tonight about the terrorists in the US that are Muslim. Why are we not as focused on and as afraid of the right wing terrorists (ie the abortion doctor murderers) or the Oklahoma Bomber- McVey terrorists that were also members of specific political groups. It seems that if we are going to call out terrorists, we must be all inclusive. It is specifically this myopic vie that has caused so much hatred in the world for the hypocrisy of Americans.

Oh my god, I just the worst case of the shivers when Anderson said 9:11 was the time the D.C. Sniper died. oh, that just freaks me out.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those killed by Mohammad, who was executed tonight.

I can see no reason, other than complete disregard of human life in the crime he committed!

To me he was a true "terrorist".

Hello Everyone,

Anderson – I’m not sure if you have seen the movie by Michael Moore “Sicko”, but I would love to see one of you all do something similar to that on Health Care in America and aboard. I see that Congress is in the works with something for the country, however you all should really think about displaying the health care system of the other countries and compare it to America. Doing that piece would really open the eyes of a lot of people that really don’t understand what it is that the health care reform advocates are fighting for… Thoughts everyone?

Does anyone else think it is ridiculous to keep these murderers alive years after the crime? I mean, there was no question that this guy from DC was guilty, why waste MY tax dollars for his three meals a day, free housing, and health care while in jail? Waste of time...

I remember those days of Muhammad...he held the DC area hostage for way too long... ramdom targets with no sense behind it...
Its about time this chapter in our history was closed.

I remember the killings and how scary it was especially as it was just a year after 9/11.

What is key to me in understanding Hasan's motives are what
he yelled out while he was doing the shooting. I heard
he was yelling out "Allah is great" and that links his religious beliefs to the deaths.

@Evening Erica!

Hopefully the FBI was able to ask Muhammad more questions about the shootings back in 2002..! Also are there any details relating to Muhammad's son?

Hasan's Muslim associates claim that all unblievers are apostates; apostates must be killed, therefore Christian "American's" are unbelievers and must be killed. Funny how fundamentalism (with stress on *mental*) of any flavor tends to cause such religious phobia - and I refer to ALL 3 monotheisms.

I do not believe that Maj. Hasan was a terrorist, do you believe that the gun man at Virginia Tech was a terrorist? No somethings just happen but that's my opinion I won't try to force it on people. I do belive that the police step in on the men trying to recruit terrorists before some radical AMERICAN decides hes had enough and either kills or severly harms them because someone else must know it's going to happen.

I can’t believe these extreme Islamic radicals are praising terrorist acts in broad daylight! Talk about red Flags. It is mind boggling how this could be legal and permitted. However, Rush Limbough spews similar hatred towards our President as well. This type of hatred towards our country or our president should be illegal.

What is wrong with most of you? What is it about extremist Muslims that you do not understand? They want you dead. Period!!! Stop making excuses for them. President Obama is gravely mistaken to think that he can negotiate with them. Wake up!!!!

Interesting time to be declared dead; 9:11 PM.

Re: Revolution Muslim. Yousef El Khatab and his cohorts all support, even love, Osama Bin Laden. They are vocal in their hatred of the US and what we stand for. Why are they allowed to stay here in the US? They did not hesitate to openly support Hasan's shooting of our troops and innocent people in Texas. Let's ship them all off to Afghanistan so they can be with their beloved Obama.

Didn't the sniper tell his ex-wife in a letter that he was innocent?

That shooting at the Home Depot was one of the ones that freaked me out the most (I was a sophomore in high school at the time). I'd been to that exact store dozens of times. That was also the one where that fake witness dude came forward.

Judging from what Ive heard and read, find it hard to believe that he Hassan just snapped as 1 criminologist said.He did too much planning and seemed too methodical. I see this as domestic terrorism.

The time during the D.C sniper was scary. I was here at the time and alot of people here were scared about this too

@ "starr, formerly known as vincent,

he truly did terrorize the area of the shootings!
no one could see them, the way that the car was built, etc.
there was no reason for it, as you said. and, I find it hard to believe that he built that car, and went through all those areas, States, etc. in this mental state.

I heard tonight that his lawyer said that he was a person of great humor!

I am very happy to see that justice was carried out in an appropriate manner. Too bad that the system takes so bloody long to process.
A cut and dry case like this should have been expediated much quicker. Ever see the movie " Judge Dred " ?, now that is the way I would do things.

John Allen Muhammad: Only God gives life only God should take it back. Yes, imprison him for the rest of his life and yes, the taxpayers pay-
it is our collective failure ultimately.

Wasn't Major Hasan looking at mental health hazards for troops who are muslims?

I felt the President's comments and the service at Fort Hood for the men and women who lost their lives in the attack was heartfelt, comforting and uplifting. But I feel broader American society also has an important role in healing this country.

did he feel bad about Lee Malvo?

Hi Erica, just saw your post. Always good to have you with us on the blog.

Great report by Jeanne M. It took courage to sit alone with Mohammad.
Truly crazy interview (if you could call it that).

Major Hasan is not solely responsible for this tragedy. The chain of command is responsible for the health and well-being of the soldiers under their command. This man was not well and the "signs" were loud and clear.

What Major Hassan did should not be considered as an islamic act. It was just a Psychopathic and psychotic act as a lonely man who has nothing to lose and a cowardly soldier who was just afraid to face the dilemma of going to the war front. Islam is a religion of peace, it does not condone not only what was done by Nidal also by John Muhammad and on the streets of New York.

Xavier... I hear what your saying...however, having spent many years overseas in the Army, those countries such as Canada, Germany, England that have a national or social medicine system have a very heavy income tax. They do pay for what they have in taxes, in some countries they pay as much 35 to 45% income tax.. that is real heavy.
Here we need to accomplish as much as we can with out that heavy tax burden as most would plunge into poverty just because of the taxes.

I believe this was not a lone act. all, all in Islam are taught that they will rule the world when the prophet comes, but there end is about to come ,but not yet. America is acting dumb. Islam istrying to take over the U.S. from the inside out. Don't you know what a sleeper is? Stupid is if stupid does. America better wake up. They have been moving in for years.

I believe the DC Sniper case should not have been executed at this time. We have many unsolved cases throughout the US that could have possibly been committed by Muhammad and now there are families out there that might never has the answer to their question, who did it? I believe in this execution, but at this time the execution could have waited to see if he could be held accountable for these other unsolved deaths.

@ noel,

his death at 9:11 tonight ironic because of Sept. 11, (9/11)

@George- I totally agree with you, its very ironic how John Muhammad died at exactly 9:11pm..weird!!

Hi – re Ft. Hood & radical Islams – aren't they directly making threats and inciting violence? If they don't like American then get the hell out!!! Can we deport them or put them in prison?

@Emily, what i don't get about Mohammad is he apparently thought he was "innocent'?

@Xavier – CNN did present a series comparing the US Healthcare system to those in other countries. I believe this was a few months ago and the series ran over the course of a week or two with a different country compared against the US each day. Not sure if this series was posted on the website or not.

wow why is there alway's a sex tape, or pictures..wow she should have known that the same thing happened with..vanessa williams.

@Vasee, it may not have been an 'Islamic act' but it was an act done in the name of Islam. Not sure there's much practical difference.

Good case for no public drunkeness in NY?

Just seeing the video of the lady falling in the subway and seeing it get closer and closer makes you hold your breath

There have been a few shots of people falling of subway/train tracks and surviving this year!
Congrats to Charice Lewis!; what a great Train Driver!
someone whose really paying attention to her job!

Wow! That video is amazing. That woman's lucky she didn't touch the third rail.

I sure hope the first question they ask MAJ Hasan is why did he have contacts with known islamic radicals. I hope from 9/11 and the Fort Hood shootings people realize we are not safe from domestic terrorism. Become more vigilant and report suspicious activities to your local law enforcement. We are no where near safe, these harmful people are still roaming the states in what are known to be Sleeper Cells, and everyone from intelligence to local law enforcement needs the civilians help as much as the Armed Forces!

There is an old saying, i don't know if i have it exactly right, but ..Children & drunks are protected by the angels.

I would say this woman survived by more than "luck".

Erica, great interview wit Ms. Lewis (God bless her).

Whoa....great breaks on that train!

Oh my....

GO! Charice!!!

@Lori

"Good case for no public drunkeness in NY?"

no doubt about that!

also great to see that the public was helping her out...the 2 guys that lifted her up too!

The western term of Radical Muslim, or Radical Islamic follower really defines a failure to understand or even grasp the Religion of Islam.
What western Media News are referring to as 'Radical' Islam is in fact followers of Islam that are in fact following the Koran's verses as they are instructed to do.
The Islam faithful are told they are duty bound and obligated to follow the Koran verses as the very word of the Islamic God. They are not Radical Muslims, they are faithfully following their religion.

Evening All...I wish the news media would spend more time discussing the victims and less time focusing on the killers. I have no need to know what went on inside killers' twisted little minds because it will never make sense. At worse, this misguided focus leads to copy-cats: (example- Columbine).

Im a marine veteran of 3 tours to iraq. i think these people talking about loving osama bin ladin and gihad and terrorizm should be delt with just as if they were to say they were going to kill the president. they are supporting and praising someone who was responsible for one of the biggest terrorist attacks, and like osama they may not pull the trigger or detinate the bomb but they are responsible. The training of future terrorists in parts of this country is another thing that should be delt with just the same. People say there is a fine line between peoples right to freedom of speech but that is not freedom of speech that is treason punishable by death. these people need to be stopped so that the war myself and my fellow marines and soldiers fought and are still fighting is not a loosing battle. Those people saying theey want marines and soldiers to die make me sick. how can you be a US citizen and say you want fellow americans that make it possible for you to speak that sort of garbage to die and have it be ok. I definately agree with MR. Ramsey.

Hey Anderson, That train story is amazing. U used one of my favorite sayings "note to self"

Wow, Gary Tuchman gets the most interesting assignments.

The "church" should hand it's head in shame.

Wow, I'm just stunned that the woman survived the train thingy... Its not every day you see someones life before someones eyes

The Muslim Revolution brothers are provocative and inflammatory but scratch the surface as Drew Griffin does in his report and they are radical but not advocating violence. I disagree with them, but they are within their right to free speech. Is there any connection btwn them and the terrorists Peter Bergen just mentioned?

With all these irresponsible pilots being busted lately, lets hope Anderson and the AC360 team have their own private planes when they fly to LA like Anderson did tonight! I'd hate to lose the best political team on television!

It sickens me to see what is going on in the streets, these two self proclaimed muslims. Yes, I believe in free speech, but when you use this right to attack the very country you live in , you should not be living in this country. Why they havn't been yanked off the street and sent to no man's land, is beyond me. Oh, I must have forgotten, we have the courts to defend their rights. The only word that comes to my mind is disgrace....

the hero on the tracks includes the people waving the train down to stop. Without them the drunk lady would have been a goner! There is more then one hero here.
Boston media reports that the drunk lady is embarrassed of all the fotage of her. She said she had only 4 beers and was out with coworkers at a Celtic game.

Thank you for stopping the train in time for the lady, train driver

The story of the priest's son is terribly sad. I am not a religious person, but I cannot imagine is not disheartening for those who are to keep seeing that even the church does not do the right thing. All make mistakes; you suck it up, fess up, and do what's right.

Oh Anderson!
"...she was stripped of her title...." geez! how apt. Anderson! :O

Great reporting by Randi here....

okay it is time to stop with these ancient laws that were passed when men and women lived in caves. Radical Muslims can preach hatred in the streets in America but we cant even pray in schools and now the sign of the cross is banned on a license plate. I love President Obama but he definitely has his hands full. We are all looking at him but like Michael Jackson put it "start with the man in the mirror" that muslim that was spewing hatred out of his mouth had eyes with no soul. Also tell me why again are we still in Irag and Afghanistan aside from loosing our husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers

@ Rick Rose As a retired US Army man, I can say with a 90% probability that there will be some changes to how things are done in the military as well as how civilian and federal agencies work with them. The military bases will tighten up some more which is a real pain for those that are honest and good, I being retired go through a nut roll everytime I visit Fort Lewis just getting on post.. for me its a 5 hour drive to get there but it is something that must happen.

She has had a lot of mistakes lately. It seems hard to judge which one was the worst one. They all seem fairly close in my opinion.

Why do these celeb's make sex videos knowing they will eventually be leaked. If you make the video you only have one thing on mind, publicity. Keep it inside the bedroom and you will not have a problem!

Sex tapes at 17...humm there is more to this story!

Wow, talk about the pot writing a book about calling the kettle black.......

Anderson,
When are the American people going to realize that the enemy is with in, You can not threaten the President but you can praise the killing of our soldiers and innocent civilians in our own country. What is this country coming to, it sure is not the US of the 40's and 50's or the American i was raised in. As a Retired US ARMY soldier I am appaulded, all I can say is GOD help this country!!!!!!!!

Sleazy is as sleazy does.

You have to have a big ego to make a sex tape!

It is sleazy to release the tape; however, it is naive of her to think that it would be kept a secret.

@ "starr, formerly known as vincent,
Mohammad may have felt that he was 'innocent' with all those around him that were making "excuses" for him.....

1. his ex-wife blames it on his time in the Military (in the 1st Gulf War) ...

2. his Lawyer says that he had an awful childhood...

3. and lost his children...lots of excuses!

either way, he was found guilty!

Seriously, everyday sex is not cute or attractive...why would anyone want to make a sex tape? We are not as sexy as we think we are haha.

This is amazing to me,the Muslins preaching hate and terrorism. People loved Jim Jones,and we all know what happened with that type of religion. Muslins in the Middle East and here need to denounce these extremities,which are giving the Muslin (Islamic) faith a Cult like appearance. Groups of all kind that practice,and teach hate are always brought down by people within these GROUPS!

Anderson... its a shame... Carrie's tapes. Wow, in this day and age, really who cares, no one is that lilly clean to judge or pass judgement.
Nude shots vs SEX Tapes. two different animal.

Where were this woman's parents in all of this (she was 17 years old making an inappropriate video)?"

Sexy tapes and a book!
can you say $ $igns?

I wonder if beauty queens can spell hypocrite!?!

Major Hasan and that DC sniper person sound like brothers, maybe they suffer from same mental illness?!

Hey Anderson and Erica, I was just watching CNN with my aunt in Texas and we watched the report about a lady who staggered into a railway and the train driver stopped in time for the lady to be saved. My question is, what happened to the man in glasses who alerted the driver to stop? Doesn't he deserve to be recognised also, because from our point of view, the man rushed to stop her and alerted the train driver by pressing the button on the wall to stop the train. The driver's name is Cherise Lewis.

When will her 15 minutes finally be over?

@Carolyn Danley, I agree. US Islamic groups have denounced Hasan, but worldwide he's gotten a lot of support. It's hard to view Islam as a religion of peace when this happens.

I'd love to have something from Bernie Madoff's personal "collection."

BTW, My heart goes to teenager boy who had bad burn his body.... I hope he will feel better soon.

I think Carrie is a hypocrite. She says that women should treat their bodies like a temple; but she was Miss. California where she wore a bikini, and she made a sex tape. Now she wants to make herself out to be some kind of Mother Teresa, by writing a book about girl power. Why can't she just apologize about what she did, and move on with her life.

Good night Anderson. Sweet dreams. Thank you. I enjoyed the show.

hey Anderson, you mentioned losing your Rolex watch..looks like you might have to buy one of Madoff's....

Good night and Be safe!

Thank you and good night Anderson, Erica & Team 360.

Good night fellow bloggers. Good night Emily too. All, have a greaat tomorrow.
That story on the burned boy is beyone tragic, it should Never have happened! What is wrong with some of our children. Do we need to Teach Compassion & personal responsibility...I guess so.

Crikey, if they are giving Madoff's personal stuff away, I will be more than glad to take some of that money off his hand's! I know I could use it to help my family out!

Re: comment of A. Smith....Who cares about their reason or irrational justification. People advocating violence, should be regarded as a threat and watched. A person's belief is not a threat, but they engage in action, it should be dealt with accordingly. No Excuses!

good night...ANDERSON AND ERICA.
GREAT SHOW.
