In summary, the Department of Defense issued a report on the Fort Hood shooting, which occurred in November 2009 and claimed the lives of 13 people. The report criticized the military for failing to identify warning signs and take action against the shooter, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan. It also noted similarities between this attack and the Christmas Day attack in 2009, where a Nigerian man attempted to detonate a bomb on a plane. The report highlighted the need for improved communication and information sharing within the military to prevent future attacks.

I saw the story too. What it said to me is that "a complete report" does not exist because this sobpoena is for specific bits and pieces of evidence, not a comprehensive report. That no comprehensive report was done is a travesty.

I want to know what, exactly happened and I want to know what, exactly is being done to keep it from happening again. That the government hasn't even done such an investigation is just an unacceptable level of indefference by our government to our security. And because of the stark difference in responses to the Ft. Hood incident and the Christmas bombing, I blame Obama personally. As I said before, he simply didn't take/treat the Ft. Hood incident seriously.
I agree.

In one of these stories, maybe one of your sources in the Feb posts, it was suggested that a complete report was indeed prepared for Obama within a month or two; if that's true then visibly the thing has never been released. An internal-only response would be better that none at all, but a) that's still far less effective than a public announcement to the FBI and military rank and file to change their way of doing business, and b) it still greatly irritates me that it is ok for the government to publicly condemn some mining company (perhaps deservedly) but not those that showed similar negligence leading to the Ft Hood shootings.
