NOTE: The major story today is the horrific murder of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas by fellow soldier Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Hasan was reported in stable condition after first being reported killed. Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone told NBC's "Today" show that soldiers heard the suspect shout "Allahu Akbar!" -- which translates in Arabic to "God is great!" -- before the rampage began at about 1:30 p.m. central time. However, military officials later Friday morning would not confirm that report, saying only that investigators continue to interview witnesses. We have read some conflicting reports. We feel that the military has not provided enough information to use this story here today.

We pray for the families of the murdered and wounded soldiers.
