How Maj. Hasan should have been handled

Victor Davis Hanson has a good point at National Review Online:

[…] Major Hasan should have been treated the same way a lone-wolf Nazi would have been treated in 1943 — once it was revealed that he was mouthing Hitlerian doctrine on a U.S. military base and communicating with Nazi-sympathizers in Argentina.

But under the Bush and Obama administrations, Islam and jihad are no-fly zones for government. Could you imagine the fallout had FDR banned the government from mentioning Nazis in a negative light? Or mentioning – as candidate Obama did regarding Hamas and Hezbollah – that Hitler does in fact have “legitimate claims?”
