To bring the Ft. Hood shooting back into the limelight would require recognizing the shooter is a professed Muslim who committed his violent act of terrorism on U.S. soil and DHS was unable to do anything to stop it.
The American Muslim extremist is something our .gov continues to deny exists in this case or in the potentiality of any others. Muslims are peaceful people; remember?
To show that DHS, with it's over-reaching Patriot Act authority, etc. couldn't predict/stop this act of terrorism would be admitting their growing militarization is ineffective against true terrorists and people would start to wonder what their true purpose is.
How's that for a tin-foil conspiracy theory.
Jesus...
Or is it Allah?
Anyway, DHS seems more like a gov't police force answering to the White House
To question your government is not unpatriotic — to not question your government is unpatriotic.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
