Lawmakers Blast Administration For Calling Fort Hood Massacre 'Workplace Violence' R

[WillowTree]

Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation's Armed Forces at home.
During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

Thirteen people were killed and dozens more wounded at Fort Hood in 2009, and the number of alleged plots targeting the military has grown significantly since then. Lawmakers said there have been 33 plots against the U.S. military since Sept. 11, 2001, and 70 percent of those threats have been since mid-2009.
The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Connecticut independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, said the military has become a "direct target of violent Islamist extremism" within the United States.

I'm surprised they haven't written 9/11 off as urban renewal.

It all comes down to what is called, "Damage Control"

Like I said the FIRST time this subject was brought up a few days ago....

Loughner, a white American... shoots up a Political meet and greet... and is rightly called a psychopathic freak. The guy at Ft. Hood, a man of middle Eastern Descent....shoots up a military base...and is called a terrorist... his sanity is never questioned... just his faith.

Why not mention his contacts from the middle east? He was much more than JUST a Muslim from the middle east. It's who he was in contact with in the middle east that crossed the line....well at least for most Amercans.

Only terrorists and teabaggers have anything to gain by politicizing the Ft. Hood murders.

Oh... you mean...Anwar al-Awlaki? That poor misunderstood guy that Obama killed in cold blood? After all, he was an American Citizen, right?

Oh... what caused him to reach out to Al - Awlaki? Let's start a little earlier in the process than you want to. How about mental illness? People don't just go to med school, then get their specialty in Psychiatry, then join the military...get promoted to Major all so he can shoot up a military base. that's the most ridiculous scenario of a "sleeper cell agent" that I've ever heard. No, the dude probably snapped.

Lastly... from wikipedia on the guy...."However, one year after the Fort Hood shooting, questions still lingered as to whether the incident was caused by mental health issues, and government agencies still had not officially linked Hasan to any radical terrorist groups."

I didn't know just how astute you were with knowledge of covert sleeper cells, stealie.
Of course, a person can never change his ideology, can he?
I do believe that him communicating with Al Awaaki would constitute him linking with a terrorist organization, but that would take some critical thinking on your behalf.
Or, maybe you see the terrorists as just, "freedom fighters".

"The documents attached illustrate how the Department is dealing with the threat of violent Islamist extremism in the context of a broader threat of workplace violence," read the letter, which was obtained by Fox News.

Pity, Susan Collins is otherwise more thoughtful and knowledgeable.

It’s troubling to see her succumb to the ignorance and hate of the radical right. Hasan’s was a criminal act, having nothing to do with his religion or ‘violent Islamist extremism.’

Troubling since it jeopardizes everyone’s religious freedoms and civil liberties as conservatives strive to expand and empower government to fight the myth of ‘terrorism.’
