Thanks.  "WhenAnwar al-Awlaki wrote warm things about Hasan, he might as well have writen warm things about Nambla." 

Awlaki is pure evil and comparing him to a member of Nambla in a comment (not on an article for that would obviously run afoul of WP:OR).  He deserves no respect on wikipedia. Nor do his views.  Nevertheless, I'm being sarcastic as Saturn points out.
