FBI orders independent review after Fort Hood shooting
2009-12-09
Very interesting article. First mention made of U.S. Joint Terrorism Task Force, which proves, unless ratholed by the FBI, US Intelligence was all over this guy. My guess is Webster's investigation will be a blame sharing exercise designed to take the heat off of the bureau. Don't expect the results to be published or leaked for many months or possible a couple of years.

Interesting note. The Hasan attack took place on 5 November. President Obama toured the Joint Terrorism Task Force Headquarters less than two weeks prior. I would caution however, we should not...jump to conclusions.

#2  You are undoubtedly correct Moose. Classic gov't agency incremental damage control, assisted by our old friends 'father time' and paralysis of analysis. Internal investigation 30 days (+/-). A bit of smoke in the teepee? Contact the Attorney General, AG contacts POTUS, wait 2 weeks, announce an "independent" investigation is launched, 6 months (+/-). Hopefully by then then the media will be on to something else.

#1  I still suspect a strong flavor of the FBI wanting to nose into the Pentagon's inquiry. These "inter-tribal" deals between agencies are often done for their own sake, strictly as a pecking order deal.
