Investigating The Fort Hood Shootings

Yesterday’s Washington Examiner posted an article about the investigations into the Fort Hood shootings.  President Obama plans to have the FBI, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Pentagon, intelligence and other officials investigate the incident.  The goal is to see if there were some way the tragedy could have been averted.  Democrats in Congress have bowed to White House pressure and cancelled their investigation. 

The article points out:

“…administration declined to send anyone to a rogue congressional hearing on the matter Thursday. Sen. Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate homeland security committee, noted that —

“it will be very difficult to fulfill our committee’s responsibility without the cooperation of the executive branch.””

The Obama Administration is totally unwilling to cooperate with a Congressional investigation into the Fort Hood shootings.  Since the FBI and the military were evidently involved in keeping an eye on the shooter before the incident, it seems odd that they would be asked to investigate their reasons for not taking action.  This is one time that I think a thorough Congressional investigation is in order!
