Loughners sickness not caused by politics

From a report in the Wall Street Journal:

On all available evidence, Jared Lee Loughner is a mentally disturbed man who targeted Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and anyone near her in Tucson on Saturday because she was prominent and they were tragically accessible.

He joins Sirhan Sirhan, John Hinckley Jr. and many others whose derangement led them to horrible acts of violence.

Whatever confused political motives he expressed seem merely to be part of the maelstrom of his mental sickness.

Much more here.
