GOVERNMENT FAILED TO INVESTIGATE WARNING SIGNS OF FT. HOOD SHOOTER

The Ft. Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, will face death penalty charges after killing 13 people when he opened fire at the military base. 

But could Mr. Hasan's behavior been predicted? It's baffling that a man that was capable of such violence was inside of the core of our military.

Hasan reportedly drew the attention of federal law enforcement six months ago for online posts about suicide bombings and other threats including "a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing
himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades."

In a time of war, the protection of our soldiers should be a priority, whether it be from the "enemy" or from peers and others on "our side."

The government should have known that this man was disturbed. Even though the military and the federal government has immunity from basically everything, expect to see the wounded and the estates of the killed to sue the United States for their failure to investigate this sick and dangerous man when the writing was on the walls.

We are being cautioned not to rush to judgment against the assassin of Ft. Hood, implying that radical Islamic motives could be absent. Okay. But a look through the history of mass murders in the U.S. will not reveal one where the killer invoked the name God before doing the dastardly deed.

This man killed out of religious insanity. Not to call it as such is an insult to our collective intelligence and just one more sop by our elected leaders to religious "sensitivity." Barack Obama is a pussy (with apologies to pussies...).
