More bureaucracy—more salaries for more slackers—and less accountability. This is how the state deals with its ongoing infractions against the people. A commission of inquiry is planned—or in Pentagon Speak, “a broad 45-day review”—instead of tough, immediate action against every cog in the military machine which promoted, pampered and palliated the mass murderer, “Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 in the shootings at the Texas military post on Nov. 5.”
For his part, Attorney General Eric Holder promised to “work with this committee on ways in which we can prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.”
NPR’s Daniel Zwerdling has “uncovered” what was deduced from evidence already in existence a week ago in “Your Government’s Jihadi Protection Program”:
“Substandard professional performance would get one purged from the private sector. It did nothing to undermine Hasan’s employment status, rank, six-figure income, and secret security clearance in the military.”
Government committees are where accountability goes to die.
Update (Nov. 20): Read the Memorandum for the Credentials Committee written about Hasan, the army’s assassin in training.
