"It would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity became a casualty here."

The Hill has a really peculiar quote (link). Excerpt follows...

Premature speculation about the causes of the Fort Hood shooting could cause a backlash against Muslim soldiers, Casey, the Army chief of staff, said on several Sunday morning shows. Casey said no one should rush to judgment about the shooter’s reported anti-American views.

“The speculation could potentially heighten the backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers,” he told ABC’s “This Week.”

As horrific as the shooting was, “it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity became a casualty here,” he warned.

Casey said investigators believe Hasan was the only shooter involved.

It would be an even greater tragedy for diversity to go away than for 13 people to die? This is such a poorly worded quote...
