"WASHINGTON — Congress and the Obama administration on Monday headed toward a showdown over access to information about how an Army major with known contacts to Islamic extremists was able to carry out a deadly shooting spree at a Texas military base last fall.
Saying the Pentagon and Justice Department had failed to cooperate in Congress' efforts to understand what took place, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs issued subpoenas to Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Attorney General Eric Holder, demanding documents about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the disgruntled Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 people and injuring another 32 during a Nov. 5 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas."
"There were repeated signals being sent off by Major Hasan that he was a potential danger," Senator Joe Leiberman stated. Well, DUH! He can thank Political Correctness, and nobody wanting to be labeled a racist for that crack in the floor. Lacking those two elements, Hasan would have been identified, and discharged from the military long before he would have been able to create the carnage at Fort Hood! Name one career military officer who wants to dead-end his career by pointing a finger at any member of any minority for any reason. Immediately the "race card" comes out - which trumps logic every time. Don't you DARE "profile".
PC has no real place in our society - least of all in matters of national security. The buck shouldn't stop on this one until it reaches Janet Napolitano (Homeland Security Chief) and Barack Hussein Obama (Commander in Chief).
I could be wrong about this... and Hasan could be innocent. Somebody else killed those people and then threw the guns to Hassan, which he just reflexively caught. Yeah... that story should satisfy the morons in our Congress!
