Fort Hood Failures Explored

Nidal Malik Hasan

The U.S. Government is currently conducting an investigation into the law enforcement failures that led to 13 people being murdered at the Fort Hood army base, by Islamic radical, Nidal Malik Hasan.

Thus far, the public knows, the incompetent Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not correctly interpret the emails they had in their possession, revealing U.S. Major Nidal Malik Hasan had become a radicalized time bomb.

Hasan was enquiring with one of the world's most vicious hatemongers, Anwar Awlaki, on violence against American civilians and soldiers, yet the FBI didn't piece that transparent little puzzle together and bring him in. The unedited emails need to be released to the public.

It is also being stated via additional findings, several army member failed report Hasan's disturbing statements, such as comparing suicide bombers to heroes.

Some in Washington have tried to push the excuse that everyone in government is responsible, to shield the negligent from blame and job termination. However, it is highly irresponsible. The FBI is the agency most to blame, as they had disturbing, extremist emails by Hasan, in their possession for well over 6 months and did nothing about it.

The FBI is America's first line of defense against terrorists and leaving the same individuals in their posts that allowed this devastating tragedy via criminal negligence, is inviting future failures of the same order that could cost more innocent people their lives. The FBI is not up to the task at hand.
