Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been ordered to appear before Congress or provide the requested information, but a senior Defense official said the department may say no to the subpoena.<\/p>\n

Senior Defense officials told reporters Monday that the department cannot provide certain information to Congress under a provision of the military justice system known as \u201cunlawful command influence.\u201d For example, if the department provided Congress information that was inadmissible in court, and Congress in turn held hearings, a military judge could toss the case, one senior Defense official said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I saw how upset everyone got about John Murtha using “unlawful command influence”. The Army and DoD are hiding stuff, they’ve been hiding stuff since they told us that Hasan was dead in the early moments of the investigation. If there’s a fear of command influence, have the investigation behind closed doors – I want something on the record that will point fingers after the trial. <\/p>\n

Gates’ subordinates used “illegal command influence” when they told us that the worst thing that could happen as a result of the Fort Hood shootings is if the Army suffered from a lack of diversity. After that idiot statement, everything Gates and the DoD does is suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
