Army Secretary Orders Nine Officers Punished For Failing To Flag Hasan
Army Secretary John McHugh has ordered the nine to have non-judicial punishment for failing to report unusual behavior on the part of the protected religious minority officer.
The nine were in Hasan's chain of command at Walter Reed hospital, so it is likely that several of them had minimal exposure to Hasan. And in an equally empty gesture, Secretary McHugh ordered the training and evaluation of all other Army medical doctors to be examined, in case there are any other doctors with profiles identical to Hasan.
Several US senators have likewise deplored the inability of either the DoD or the FBI to see into the future or accurately psychoanalyze potential threat individuals based on their unobserved off duty behavior. Note: this last paragraph might generously be called a paraphrase. Or perhaps an 'interpretation'. |
