WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The shooting rampage at a U.S. Army base in November was "an act of terrorism," an Obama administration official said on Friday, as the Pentagon ordered an overhaul of protocols to spot threats within the military.

Reviews ordered on Friday by the Pentagon and White House exposed shortcomings in both intelligence and oversight before the November 5 shooting, which authorities blame on a military psychiatrist.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said his department was still "burdened by 20th century processes and attitudes mostly rooted in the Cold War," and needed to do more to combat self-radicalization.

Yeah, our WPR had a program on this. The one big question that was not answered, is what in the hell do we have Homeland Security for? Just another fuvked up government agency. They sure fuvked up immigration.

Eh?

From what I heard on the NPR program about this - several officers in the Army glossed over this guys faults, and "radical" leanings, basically allowing him to simmer till he went shooting...

Guess they were too PC to actually fix the problem.

The shooter was an american citizen - so it was upon the Army to see the issue and act on it.

How would immigration find this?

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

It wasn't terrorism. Ask the VJ posters who still think it was a run of the mill workplace shooting.

terrorism or vengeance?

aren't workplace shootings about "getting even" ?

ter⋅ror⋅ism [ter-uh-riz-uhm]

–noun

1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.

3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I think all workplace shootings are terrorism.

No. You are just trying to dilute terrorism from you-know-who.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
