SO LOUGHNER WENT AWOL FOR A WEEK SHORTLY BEFORE SHOOTING UP TUCSON?

I heard a caller to AJ today say that Loughner went AWOL for a week shortly before shooting Giffords et al, and nobody knows where he was and who he was with.

Hm. Really?

Because about this time last year another man, who was clever enough to be applying for research grants from The Pentagon, went AWOL. He would two months later go on an apparent random shooting spree, this time at The Pentagon. He was shot dead (the DC cops having only a few days earlier gone through a drill that followed the tragic events). His name was John Patrick Bedell. He liked to smoke cannabis, and had posted on YouTube about a new monetary system, not based on gold but based on cannabis. Bedell believed that 9/11 was an inside job, and that JFK was assassinated by a big government conspiracy.

He allegedly went on his shooting spree on 4th March 2010. In January 2010 he went AWOL for two weeks, from 4th to 18th.
