Troubling

I find it troubling that so many who are so upset and expressing their outrage at the murder of the late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, including President Obama, are silent on the murder of Army recruiter, Private William Long, in Arkansas. A number of news outlets are not even mentioning Private Long's alleged killer's name, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, or that he was a convert to Islam, though they find it important that Doctor Tiller's alleged killer, Scott Roeder, reportedly held extreme Christian views.

Both instances are murder, originating from the perpetrators' beliefs, and the biased reporting of news reporters or organizations serve only to lessen the esteem and trust which the public will have for such slanted sources of information. How smart do you really have to be to understand that fundamental reality? The President's double standard is difficult to explain, and I fear any explanation might be troubling.
