More on the Oklahoma suicide bomber

Michelle Malkin, whom I admire for her thoroughness if not her politics, has a good round-up on Joel Hinrichs, who blew himself up outside the Oklahoma University football stadium last weekend:

OKLAHOMA BOMBER: DELVING DEEPER

At first I figured Hinrichs was like Charles Whitman, a mentally disturbed misfit with lethal weapons but no real agenda beyond killing others and himself (not like that's not bad enough), but now it's looking like he was a pawn and a dupe of (gasp) radical Islamists.

If that's true, it's sad and horrifying that Hinrichs adopted the terrorist mentality. The cynicism and cowardice of those who engineered his corruption is breathtaking and appalling. Hinrich's story deserves a lot more notice.
