Senator Joe Lieberman announced that there will be a congressional investigation into the shooting at Fort Hood. Lieberman also stated that the attack could qualify as a "terrorist act". Joe Lieberman chairs the Senate Committee on homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. He said that there were warning signs and if they were noticed the Army should have been gone. The public has been told not to rush to conclusions because all the reports of warning signs are so far only speculation. The attack left 13 dead and 29 wounded. The gunman is currently being treated a a military hospital. His family members speculate that he was trying to avoid his deployment to Afghanistan.
In my opinion it was a terrorist attack. There are so many other ways that Major Nidal Malik Hasan could have delayed his deployment without hurting anyone other than possibly himself. The Army, as well as all the other military branches, should have a no tolerance policy.
