UPDATE: The Army has issued the following statement:
"The Army has confirmed that the suspect was never in the Army. He attempted to enlist in the Army but was rejected for service. In accordance with the Privacy Act, we will not discuss why he was rejected."
UPDATE: It is being reported that Loughner's removed MySpace Page had listed the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf among his favorite books… and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish. Also reported by William Rahn of The Daily Caller, Loughner was an atheist who rejected fiat currency and called for a new currency backed by gold and silver. The only thing that appears to still be around is a YouTube channel video with just text and no sound which goes on and on about literacy and "new currency". Loughner's Youtube profile lists several books as his favorites. What is being set up is the "godless communist/socialist" threat of the old McCarthyism all over again.UPDATE: Jared Lee Loughner's video allegedly includes the following statement: ""If I define terrorist then a terrorist is a person who employs terror or terrorism, especially as a political weapon. I define terrorism," he wrote on the video."
UPDATE: Rep. Gabrielle Giffords is out of surgery and expected to recover.
