Fort Hood shooting suspect Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan sought to contact
people associated with al Qaida, according two American officials
familiar with the case. "It is not known whether the intelligence
agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to
connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said," ABC

I thought this problem was addressed when the DHS was created .. years
ago... the siloing of information. If it's true, heads should roll. They
knew about him, did nothing, and they were going to deploy him???

Seems clear that whomever was in possession of that info didn't pass
it along to the Army. If the Army knew, that's a whole other kettle
of fish.

Seems that DHS was too busy watching returning veterans and thinking
they are terrorists. YUP, throw Napolitano under the bus.
