WHY IS OUR PRESIDENT NOT CALLING IT TERRORISM?

With all the attention focused on the murders at Fort Hood, Texas, why is no one linking it to the murder of Memphis native Pvt. William Andrew Long? In June, 2009, he was murdered in Little Rock, Arkansas by a Muslim convert.

“I do feel I’m not guilty,” Abdulhakim Muhammad told The Associated Press in a collect call from the Pulaski County jail. “I don’t think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason.”

District Court Judge Alice Lytle ordered "all parties, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys and their personnel… to refrain from public comment," in matters relating to this case. Prosecutor Larry Jegley filed a motion for the gag order. The motion stated that many "statements have been made in recent days, some attributed and some not." Such statements, the motion said, "could adversely impact" the defendant's right to a fair trial.

What else has to happen before we understand that 9/11 was just the beginning and the American Theater is also a combat zone? Why is our President not calling these acts of terrorism?
