This is maddening, but not exactly a big surprise:
The Defense Department and the FBI should have recognized that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan had become an adherent of “violent Islamist extremism” before he went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 people, two US senators said Thursday in a special report.
[. . .]
The report provides insight into a larger problem, says Matthew Levitt, a former FBI counterterrorism specialist: the US government has been uncomfortable identifying and dealing with radical ideology for fear of infringing on people's freedoms and making the political gaffe of racial profiling.
A lot of the stories about this (and the headline on this story) refer to "political correctness" as the problem. But that term isn't nearly strong enough to describe the depravity of letting the fear of offending someone turn murderous monsters loose on us. And some of the moral idiots still don't get it.
The concern now is that other Muslims in the military will suffer the backlash of new military policies aimed at Islamic ideology.
That's the big concern? Military Muslims facing a backlash? Really? Not the fear that if we keep the same "see no evil" attitude this will happen again and again? That's not the concern now? Apparently not.

Pretty obvious there is more concern for peoples "feelings" than for the 13 dead.
I hate to redundant but:
This is your America in 2011, really makes ya proud doesn
