Defense Secretary Robert Gates Pledges Full Disclosure of Fort Hood Shooting Probes

Hasan did not go 'undetected' as the article states and why in the world is Gates disturbed by the major's communication with the imam. The latter was known about and seems all too many folks had detected Hasan, but no one in a position to take action did so.

The Army Secy is still gabbing about diversity in terms that are the opposite of reality. If diversity works so well, why are the different groups in Israel perpetually in conflict, why is the former Yugoslavia about a thousand countries now, what about the Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, and the French and English speakers in Quebec. That aside, this is what happens when a touchy-feely devotion to PC and moral relativism allows you to ignore the elephant in the living room. Hasan wasn't just a time bomb; the clicking was audible. The unfortunate reality, however, is that had someone acted, it is likely that individual would have paid.

are these guys in power americans? if you look closely most of them are israelies.

One has to wonder as more and more evidence (IF NOT COVERED UP) is uncovered that the TERRORIST HASAN was very much involved with people that are involved in "irrational logic" (IE TERRORISTS)and "do not like us" (will KILL US Very Dead!) There Of Course Will Be Scape Goats &&&& AJM33771 asks Ricky & Lucy, can we trust the Bozo's from Robin Da' Hoods (lack of) Administration?

This creep not only committed a mass murder on American soil, he planned this murder while taking a free education and a paycheck. He needs to die for being a traitor to the country. He needs to die for being a killer, He needs to die so he can go to hell. He is a pig......Muslims are evil and you still are not hearing them renounce him and his murders......

Whats to disclose?The guy didn't want to kill muslims mainly because he was one so he went off the deep end ,matter closed.How about Oboobo's wanting to set aside a day for the muslim religous day EAD muslim?Guess that shows which side he really is on now doesn't it?

I am very surprised to hear that Mr. Gates is calling for an investigation so soon. I kind of thought he would wait untill the 2010 mid term election. This would give the people that dropped the ball plenty of time to conceal harmful edivence, create new edivence but most of all get there story straight so that the big bad wolf will be the bad guy and that everybody else did there job above and beyond the call of duty.
He should of called for the investigtion the day after it happened. The faster you act the faster you get to the botton of who, what, where and why of what happened.

I trust Gates.

no matter what they call this man a terrorist is his name.

we are too damned concerned with being politically correct,

only we have gone way beyond the normal, that people are afraid to speak out for fear they will become labled as being prejudice.

and that is why this man was not stopped.

I hope they do do a full disclosure, and that policy does change.

it is time we stopped pretending, and realiized, that no matter what we do, there will always be someone who will want to destroy us.

man has been trying to dominate each other since the beginning of time, and nothing has changed.

Hey Gates, it's a little too late for all that don't you think. You and your PC crowd make me sick. Political correctness will end up costing us dearly in the end. Call a terrorist a damn terrorist. Who cares who it "might offend". I am an American and you sir offend me along with your Generals who immediately worried about a white backlash....where is it? Nonexistent. Start protecting those who pay your salary and pension! THE FORGOTTEN AND DOWNTRODDEN US TAXPAYER

so you are saying if you are a member of the US military, you cannot be called a terrorist for killing 13 unarmed soldiers? I disagree.

LEARN HOW TO PREVENT FUTURE NIDAL HASANS

The dilemma caused by the shooting at Fort Hood by Major Hasan exemplifies how each of our programs have failed us. When supervisors, counselors and task forces members rely on subjective references of culture and mental illness, observers miss the signs specific to aggression referenced in post analysis. When observers focus specifically on aggressive behavior, the objective and culturally neutral signs of “aggression” standout, providing the opportunity to prevent these violent encounters.

Major Hasan was under surveillance by two Terrorist Task Forces, one with Department of Defense oversight and the other with FBI oversight. So why wasn’t he stopped?

The use of subjective/qualitative indicators, prone to stereotype individuals by culture or religion; versus quantitative indicators and the use of mental health references know to mislead and misconstrue, fails us repeatedly in our attempts to prevent acts of violence. Only when we use the specificity of “aggression” and its objective, culturally neutral indicators can we get-out-in-front of these acts of aggression and prevent them. Why are current systems uses on campus failing us?

The answer is quite simple – The military does not have an objective and culturally neutral system that collects information and evaluates it to determine the degree (or level) of aggression an individual is displaying, nor has it people who have a clear responsibility to observe and report this information.
