Mr. T Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 A 'string of failures' by FBI, Defense in failing to discharge Hasan From NBC's Ken Strickland The Department of Defense and the FBI had enough information about the suspect in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre to have discharged him from the military before he killed 13 DOD employees and wounded 32 others, according to a new bipartisan Senate report. The report on the Texas army base shooting, authored by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman and top Republican Susan Collins, says that both agencies were aware of suspected gunman Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan's radicalization to violent Islamist extremism "but failed both to understand and to act on it." "Although both the public and the private signs of Hasan's radicalization to violent Islamist extremism while on active duty were known to government officials, a string of failures prevented these officials from intervening against him prior to the attack," it says in its executive summary. The senators say their investigation found "specific and systemic failures" in the government's handling of the case and cited additional concerns about possible broader systemic issues. "The FBI and DoD together failed to recognize and to link the information that they possessed about Hasan" they write. Hasan's move toward violent Islamist extremism "was on full display to his superiors and colleagues during his military medical training,” according to the report’s findings. One instructor referred to Hasan as "a ticking time bomb." "Not only was no action taken to discipline or discharge him, but also his Officer Evaluation Reports sanitized his obsession with violent Islamist extremism into praiseworthy research on counterterrorism."

Mr. T Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm wondering how many more radical islamists we still have in the inner workings of our government who are being overlooked because of the Obamas and his people are being pc and not profiling. Meanwhile granny still gets felt up at the airports while our current administration doesn't do jack to curb the real terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Obamao and co have played up to the Muslim world at every turn. That is leading up to something that is NOT good. If there is a war in the Middle East, every death will be Obamao's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
