It's Too Bad Nidal Hasan Isn't Gay

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Nov 10 2009, 1:41 PM ET Comment

If only Nidal Hasan, the alleged Ft. Hood killer, had been gay, the Army would have spent quite a bit of time hunting him down. Especially after 9/11, it's exceedingly important for the military to keep gays and lesbians, especially patriotic gays and lesbians with advanced Arabic-language skills, from polluting our military with their gayness. I hope the Nidal Hasan tragedy spurs the military to spend even more time hunting down gay people, and less time looking for jihadists, who are also opposed to homosexuallity.
