The official review finds that the Army is unprepared to deal with internal threats?

Perhaps if they would shake themselves lose from the PC mess they could deal with it... like taking serious soldiers who are in contact with radicals over the internet!

Fort Hood review finds Army unprepared
Pentagon: Military is unable to stop internal threats; warning signs of suspect ignored

WASHINGTON — A Pentagon review of the Nov. 5 shooting rampage at Fort Hood has concluded that the military remains unprepared to stop internal security threats at its U.S. installations, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday.

Gates said the independent review found that the Pentagon, like other federal departments and agencies, remains rooted in Cold War thinking designed to stop state-sponsored threats, not terrorism, and that the Fort Hood gunman's supervisors failed to act on disturbing behavioral signs before the tragedy occurred.

“We have not done enough to adapt to the evolving domestic internal security threat to American troops and military facilities that has emerged over the past decade,” Gates said at a Pentagon news conference.....

.... An FBI terrorism task force discovered e-mails that Hasan had exchanged with a radical Yemeni cleric, but the contact raised no red flags because it was considered consistent with Hasan's research. FBI Director Robert Mueller has ordered a review about how the agency handled the information.

Ought to be able to connect dots that are being shoved right in one's face.
