Skelton: Hearing will examine why Fort Hood shooter was promoted despite evidence he had turned radical

The role political correctness may have played in the Fort Hood shootings will be examined in House Armed Services Committee meetings, according to a Washington Times article:

Rep. Ike Skelton, Missouri Democrat and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a C-SPAN interview Sunday that committee hearings set for Wednesday will examine the two "disconnects" related to Army personnel reports: that Maj. Hasan was promoted despite signs that he had become radicalized, and that intelligence reports indicating the major had terrorism links apparently were ignored.
