Lieberman's Committee To Investigate 'Islamic Extremism' In Ft. Hood Tragedy.

[KittyWampus]

This turned my stomach. What could possibly go wrong with a NeoCon enabling warhawk who possesses no scruples chairing this committee?

I am not even sure why his committee feels the need for this with law enforcement on the job. Except for political posturing.

WHERE IS THE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION INTO CHRISTIAN EXTREMISM IN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE AIR FORCE?




Lieberman: Committee investigation of Fort Hood to go forward
By John Amick

The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will seek to move forward on an investigation surrounding the mass shooting Thursday at Fort Hood Army base in Texas, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), the committee's chairman, said today.

The chairman said the scope of the probe would address the motives of the alleged shooter Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan and whether signs of "Islamic extremism" were apparent, but missed or ignored.

"It's premature to reach conclusions about what motivated Hasan," Lieberman said on "Fox News Sunday" this morning. "But it's clear that he was, one, under personal stress and, two, if the reports that we're receiving of various statements he made, acts he took, are valid, he had turned to Islamist extremism."

Lieberman said if the shootings were fueled by such viewpoints it was the worst act of terrorism in America since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

"Therefore, if that is true, the murder of these 13 people was a terrorist act and, in fact, it was the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11."

The committee's investigation would work in collusion with any federal investigation by the Army or FBI, Lieberman said.
