COMMENTS: The Leaden Wit of Bigoted Soldiers
With a hat tip to Washington Post, ABC anchor Diane Sawyer told us of the troubles of Zachari Klawonn, an army specialist at Fort Hood. Klawonn's commanders have told him to leave barracks and to move to an apartment off base after the shootings in November 2009, in which Major Nidal Hasan, an army psychiatrist stands accused of killing 13 of his comrades. The reason is that Klawonn, a Moroccan-American, is a practicing Moslem, like Hasan, and the base could not guarantee his safety against persecution after he received a "burn in hell" death threat. Klawoon repeated some of the unimaginative insults from his fellow soldiers: carpet jockey…Iraq head…sand monkey…Zachari bin Laden.
