The drift net of the U.S. intelligence system had detected the alleged Fort Hood gunman months before last week's shooting rampage.

If this is how they act on investigating an obvious terrorist—God help this country—it’s now an open season on the soldiers (the underbelly of the military ).

slipped through the cracks my a*s (no pun intended)..the army knew full well what was going on, but fear of a career ending complaint against the religion of peace prevented anyone from actually doing anything about it since they’d have been branded a racist, bigoted and intolerant of diversity goals..

What a load. The “cracks” were created deliberately, knowing full well that they could lead to consequences like this.

A crack big enough to fly a 757 through.

We’re doomed if we continue on this path of ignorance.

FBI can’t do profiling any more. The Dimwits want to have no FISA laws this is a begining of what we can expect from Obummer and the Dimwits.

When does that 'alleged' description finally end? After the trial and hanging?

I don't buy it for a minute!

This dude Hasan had been loudly announcing his intentions as far back as medical school.

What does a terrorist have to do to get the attention of the FBI and the Army...run an advert on national TV.

I do not think that Gorelick wall was completely torn down. And it has been rebuilt. Wonder if a deal that can't be refused is going to be offered to this killer? Maybe he ought to be having a few ‘co-defendants’ if they decide to charge him.

Apparently all those calls to 1-800-AL QUEDA didn’t trigger any concerns?

He was a Major in the US military. Who cares what he said. The fact that he communicated with AQ is a huge issue.

They were too busy chasing vans w/fish stickers on the back. Those are the real terrorists to this regime.

Pray for America and Ft Hood

A. He is not “alleged”, he IS the murderer.
B. He didn’t “slip” through, he was given an all-access pass.

Its going to come down to vigilantes taking care of the problem. The government won’t protect us, what with PC, tolerance and diversity bs.

I really hate to think how this would be playing out if so much info hadn’t gotten out to the public before it was too late to shut it down.

"How Alleged Fort Hood Shooter Slipped Through the Cracks"

I'm guessing it was his use of inconspicuous garb and low key demeanor...
