The report concludes that systemic and cultural problems caused military officials to fail to recognize signs that the alleged shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, was becoming increasingly radical before the 2009 shooting, which left 13 people dead.
It also concludes that the FBI failed to share information with the Army - notably, e-mails that Hasan exchanged with a "suspected terrorist," a likely reference to Anwar al-Awlaki,
an Islamic cleric well known for his extremist views. The report says the agency might have dismissed such clues to avoid causing "a bureaucratic confrontation."

I'm not sharp enough to comment on this post.
ReplyDeleteI almost mistook your header for my backyard.
Diane - That probably just means the post isn't very clear. In short, I think this guy works for the CIA just like Osama did.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like my backyard too, we've been getting way more snow than usual.
I think you're giving me way too much credit here Tex. When I say my brain is like a sponge, it's not because it soaks up information. It's actually kind of spongy I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure about Osama working for the CIA as much as he was their patsy. They needed someone to point the finger at, and he was a high profile revolutionary.
The other man, dressed in Docker's clothing, was not a native Afghan any more than Olberg was. He was a 28-year-old Saudi. Tim Osman (Ossman) has recently become better known as Osama Bin Ladin. "Tim Osman" was the name assigned to him by the CIA for his tour of the U.S. and U.S. military bases, in search of political support and armaments.
