Yahoo News commentators are desperately trying to out-stupid the commentators on YouTube. It's a close race, but I think the YouTubers are still ahead by a nose.

His brother was on the Today Show this morning and it was pretty interesting. The guy is a passionate American and not some crazed lunatic. He had a plan and had been to Pakistan 6 times. He also wore a beard, dressed as the Taliban would and fit in very well. Not something I would do but for him to spend as much time as he did over there he must have been doing something right. Seems much more thought out than just a nut going off.

This guy is passionate, intelligent, thoughtul, and systematic. And he has a beard too! Doesn't mean he's not a nut.

I didn't know about the other 2 million. That gets me off the fence. Let's get a SummitPost possie together and go get killed.

Bring a 7.62x39mm instead. Greater availability of ammunition.
