This article states that there is an investigation looking for terrorist ties and that the "intelligence" gathered on the shooter didn't warrant any further action.

"I think what we're looking for are sort of people with overwhelming personal problems and patterns of behavior that are not at all related to religion."

But other investigators have been examining whether Hasan had any ties to Islamic radical groups or individuals -- in particular, a former cleric at a mosque Hasan attended when he lived in Virginia.

Intelligence agencies intercepted communications from Hasan to al-Awlaki and shared them with other U.S. government agencies, U.S. military officials told CNN on Monday. Federal authorities dropped the inquiry into Hasan's communications after deciding that the messages warranted no further action, one of the officials said.

"Because the content of the communications was explainable by his research and nothing else derogatory was found, the JTTF concluded that Maj. Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities or terrorist planning," the FBI said.

FBI Director Robert Mueller has ordered a review of the matter, but the probe so far "indicates that the alleged gunman acted alone and was not part of a broader terrorist plot," the FBI said.

Jumping to conclusions is silly, even those who have been investigating and the Army feel the same way.

Ok, but if you jump to a pretty obvious conclusion that turns out to be true, than the formality of an investigation is just a waste of valuable recources.

You really are an embarrassment.

So? It's those rat-Poles (as we call them) that stay in the US illegally and give a reason for the US gov to maintain the visa program. Got no sympathy for them. Annoying but not running the drug business or the learn-to-fly-a-plane-and-hit-Sears-Tower business.

Of course y'all don't take me seriously, just the way you don't take terrorism and socialism seriously. Problem is the latter two are a fu*kin' disgrace and threat to mankind, God damn it.

Latest news: they executed that Allen Muhammad sniper from Washington, DC. That gives me hope that the poor Jordanian guy won't be treated as a mental but as a murderer (as he should be) and will be hung / shot / poisoned / whatever. I believe in you, Texas! ;p

P.S. I loved RobMoney'$ reference to the radio stations. LOL, politically correct dummies are so pathetic.

Don't worry freetibet I am sure you will get your wish under the UCMJ

Concerning your thoughts on rat-poles, I'm sure there is someone out there who thinks just as highly as you.

Today is Veteran's day, let us not forget those who perished at Fort Hood.

Herbert once again brings up a very insightful point being missed by media and unfortunately most of the American people,

For all the right’s jeremiads, its own brand of political correctness kept it from connecting two crucial dots: how our failing war against terrorists in Afghanistan might relate to our failure to stop a supposed terrorist attack at home. Most of those who decried the Army’s blindness to Hasan’s threat are strong proponents of sending more troops into our longest war. That they didn’t mention Afghanistan while attacking the entire American intelligence and defense apparatus in charge of that war may be the most telling revelation of this whole debate.
