Secretary of Defense Gates wants an investigation in how DoD keeps an eye on potential problems(Pentagon to review tactics after Fort Hood shooting)with recommendations on what can be done. We would recommend someone other then the Army Chief of Staff who is afraid that diversity could be a casualty more then the soldiers who were killed. In fact Secretary of Defense Gates could do the Army a favor and find a new Chief of Staff that puts soldiers ahead of diversity.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas is joining Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in publicly declaring that the attack on Fort Hood is likely an act of Islamist terrorism.
Cornyn wrote a letter to President Barack Obama today urging the White House not to let "political correctness" get in the way of investigating the Nov. 5 massacre that left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded.
"As more and more facts surrounding the Fort Hood attack surface, it looks increasingly probable that the alleged attacker, Major Nidal Hasan, heeded these terrorist calls to violence, compelled by a fanatical religious ideology. If Islamist terrorism was the driving force behind the senseless violence at Fort Hood, as it seems to be, this attack must serve as a call to action for the federal government," Cornyn wrote.
"Evidence indicating that terrorist activity may be in the offing must always be run to ground; federal agencies must follow every lead and look into every possible threat, regardless of whose particular sensitivities might be offended in the process," he continued.
