-NCIS and NCIS LA turns the Ft. Hood Muslim Story on its Ear

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Last night on NCIS and NCIS LA, the TV series writers turned the Ft. Hood story of Muslim Major Hasan on its ear. Obviously they were figuring that all of us bigoted Americans were over due for a needed lesson in ‘political correctness’ when it comes to Islam.
After all, Muslims are the new [...]
