Sen. Joe Lieberman on Sunday said the shootings at Fort Hood may have been a terrorist attack, and that he would launch a congressional investigation into whether the U.S. military could have prevented it.
Sen. Lieberman, who heads the Senate’s Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, said initial evidence suggested that the alleged shooter, Army Major Nidal Hasan, was a “self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist” who had turned to Islamic extremism while under personal stress.

I AGREE WITH Mr. Lieberman and think that the govt when someone is ging into govt. work should be check into all their background including who they have been emailing to from their personal comuters.
I find it amusing how everybody is tripping up themselves to explain away this terrorists actions!
What the heck is a “self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist” who had turned to Islamic extremism while under personal stress?
Do that imply that Muslims are prone to becoming terrorists when they are having a bad day, hmmmm hold that thought.
Some readers will take offense at the caricature that Muslims and terrorist have been uttered in the same sentence, unfortunately when these terrorists fight in the name of their religion, yes they are Muslim not Christian or Jewish, then they are what they are, Muslim Terrorists.
I am not trying to imply all Muslims are terrorists, they clearly are not. That being said Muslims clearly have to decide; are they Muslims first and then Americans or are they American’s first then Muslims?
I have never been politically correct so maybe it is wishful thinking to expect the media would be honest in its description for a change and call it what it is, instead of being afraid of offending peoples sensitivities!
Has anyone read the Koran and especially that part that instructs believers on how to treat infidels? You can download the Koran on Google.
