Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats.
The officials say the postings appeared to have been made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who was killed during the shooting incident that left least 11 others dead and 31 wounded. The officials say they are still trying to confirm that he was the author. They say an official investigation was not opened.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
One of the Web postings that authorities reviewed is a blog that equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
WASHINGTON (AP) Military officials say the suspected shooter at Fort Hood was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.
The officials had access to Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's military record. They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed.

Well, then we simply must have Homeland Security monitoring all Internet sites for dangerous hate speech right away!
I'm sure the NSA has the software handy...

HEY, I’VE GOT AN IDEA.
LET’S IGNORE DIRTY MOSLEMS IN OUR MIDST, SO THEY CAN SHOOT WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN COLD BLOOD.

Ah, the religion of peace strikes again. However, as the feds said, they’re not ‘discussing terrorism’.

Let me say one thing about this tragedy: Texas will NOT sugar-coat this. I believe that is why the news conference is taking so long to materialize. If there is any anti-American sentiment; if they can point to this guy as a radical Muslim, leave it to the boys at Ft. Hood to tell the gd truth.

"Homeland Security was too busy watching Amish women with Dont Tread On Me flag bumper stickers on their horse-drawn-buggies to investigate an obvious terrorist like Malik Hasan."Yes but Amish is a bitterly clinging to your bible and guns religion.
While Islam is a religion of peace. /s

... shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago ...
But a little by sitting at his desk in school and drawing a picture of a gun might be lead away in handcuffs.

I can only hope we have as many, or even half as many, “undercover” pretending to be one of them as they have openly living amongst us with such vile...

Something tells me we’ll find an Eric Holder memo telling Justice to go slow when it comes to possibly offending muzzies with investigations.

I sincerely hope that Washington isn’t calling the shots. It will really hurt if this gets the “Washington Expert Treatment”.

Nope. No terrorism here. Just another case of Spontaneous Jihad Syndrome, an uncontrollable urge in innocent Muslims to kill Americans caused by prolonged living under the anti-Muslim bigotry of the racist USA.
