The U.S. Senate committee investigating the massacre at Ford Hood in November 2009 has blamed the FBI for not stopping Nidal Hasan, the Muslim Army major who murdered 13 Americans that day.

The report assumes that the Government (FBI in this case) should be able to tell who among us will turn homicidal. To do so, they must be able to measure the intent of every person in the country. It put blame on the military as well. It is not possible to know with absolute certainty somebody's intent. Nor should they be able to lock up anybody for what they "might" do. Or what religion, race, nationality, or political background they are.


The enemy — Islamist extremists — must be labeled correctly and explicitly, the report said, in order for the military to counter the extremism.


But the report, which was being released Thursday, said the Defense Department did not inform or train commanders about how to recognize someone radicalized to Islamic extremism or how to distinguish that from the peaceful practice of Islam.


The FBI has said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to superiors because it concluded he wasn't linked to terrorism.
