I think the coverup is on. Look at how the 911 hearings missed the point. You may be more correct than any of us can guess, LB. Look at the last three paragraphs of the STRAFOR article you posted just ahead of the one you replied to me on.... These things stand out... --So far, the Hasan shooting investigation is being run by the Army CID, and the FBI has been noticeably — and uncharacteristically — absent from the scene. --As the premier law enforcement agency in the United States, the FBI will often assume authority over investigations where there is even a hint of terrorism. --Since 9/11, the number of FBI/JTTF offices across the country has been dramatically increased, and the JTTFs are specifically charged with investigating cases that may involve terrorism. --Therefore, we find the FBI's absence in this case to be quite out of the ordinary. --It will not involve all the potential loose ends that could pop up in a federal terrorism trial, especially when those loose ends involve what the FBI and CIA knew about Hasan, when they learned it and who they told. --Also, politically, there are some who would like to see the Hasan case remain a criminal matter rather than a case of terrorism. --Following the shooting death of Luqman Ameen Abdullah and considering the delicate relationship between Muslim advocacy groups and the U.S. government, some people would rather see Hasan portrayed as a mentally disturbed criminal than as an ideologically driven lone wolf. --Senior members of the government will certainly demand to know if Hasan had any confederates, if he was part of a bigger plot and if there are more attacks to come. --Several congressmen and senators are also calling for hearings into the case, <and if such hearings occur, they will certainly produce an abundance of interesting information pertaining to Hasan and the national security investigation of his activities.
