Obama Honors Ft. Hood Victims
-----------------------------



President Obama visited Fort Hood, Texas on Tuesday to pay tribute to
the thirteen soldiers and civilians killed in a shooting rampage last
week. The suspect, Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Malik Hasan, remains
hospitalized after emerging from a coma. In an apparent reference to
Hasan’s alleged contacts with a militant Islamic cleric, Obama said “no
faith” could justify the attack.

President Obama: “It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that
led to this tragedy. But this much we do know: no faith justifies these
murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with
favor. For what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with
justice—in this world and the next.”
