Independent Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman says the Fort Hood shootings needs investigation and could be considered terrorism. CNN.com reports, “Sen. Joseph Lieberman… intends to launch a Senate committee hearing on whether the Fort Hood shootings were a terrorist act and if the Army should have taken pre-emptive steps due to reported signs of Islamic extremism by the suspected gunman.”
TheHill.com’s Bridget Johnson quotes Lieberman saying, “It's premature to reach conclusions about what motivated (Major Nidal Malik Hasan)… If (it’s true Hasan had turned to radical Islam) then this was a terrorist act.”
