In what seems to be the theme for this case, Fox News<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/a> report that the Army has found eight scapegoats to blame for their own unwritten policy which allowed Nidal Hasan to gundown scores of soldiers on Fort Hood; <\/p>\n

Senior Army officials said the decision to punish so many officers reflects the military’s belief that the November assault, which killed 13 people at the Army base in central Texas, could have been prevented if Maj. Nidal Hasan’s superiors had alerted authorities to his increasing Islamist radicalization.<\/p>\n

The officials said that as many as eight officers could ultimately be censured over Hasan, mostly with letters of reprimand that effectively end their military careers. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“What you generally see is that some officers who were aware of his shortcomings didn’t take appropriate actions in response,” the senior Army official said.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes, when you have specialists who are also officers, they can be more specialist than officer.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, will we see FBI officials who saw the emails Hasan sent to his mentor in Yemen and didn’t mention it to the Army punished, too? Will we see the blivet heads from the Pentagon who claimed this had nothing to do with Islam punished? It’s more likely that we’ll see the shooting victims punished for not doing more to avoid the hail of bullets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
