The Obama administration is withholding information on the Fort Hood terrorist attack

   Two weeks ago the Fort Hood report was delivered to Barack Obama but so far Obama has not been willing to brief members of the House intelligence committee. Pete Hoekstra is beginning to wonder why this information is being withheld by the administration.

  As a member of the Gang of 8, Hoekstra and the other seven committee members are supposed to be briefed on classified intelligence reports but as of yet the president has not briefed them at all.

It’s now three and a half, four weeks later,” said Hoekstra. “I would assume that in the last four weeks we’ve gathered lots of info that should be shared with the intelligence committees.”
There is a “lack of transparency here,” Hoekstra said, and “it is unbelievable the material and the information that they’re withholding from us, from the American people

They are not willing to share it with the intelligence committee. Wouldn’t it be nice to know what his—shouldn’t the intelligence committee know what his relationship was to Aulaqi, what other foreign people he would be talking to? No briefing

  Hoekstra then goes on to make a great point:

We’re looking at a homegrown radicalized jihadist and Congress and the President are unwilling to do anything and we’re looking at the people who gate-crashed the party, and (I) guess I read this morning that subpoenas are going to be issued. So, hey, we’re—I guess we’re working on the things that are important

  More emphasis appears to be placed on the White House party crashers than on a homegrown terrorist who carried out an attack on American soil. It is obvious to me that the president is putting off the Fort Hood briefing because the report shows that Hasan was motivated by a radicalized version of Islam. He was a radical muslim extremist terrorist and the administration does not want that information getting out to the public.

  The question is why? Why is Obama afraid to tell us what most Americans already know– that the Fort Hood massacre was indeed a terrorist act? There can only be two reasons that I can think of. Either he is afraid that he will offend Muslims if he calls Hasan a terrorist or an extremist. Or he is afraid to admit that a terrorist attack happened on his watch.
