Pentagon dismisses Lieberman's Fort Hood subpoena threat
By Tony Romm - 04/17/10 10:24 AM ET


The Pentagon signaled on Saturday it would continue limiting lawmakers' access to details unearthed during the military's investigation of the shooting at Fort Hood.

Even after Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) threatened to subpoena the Pentagon on Friday in an attempt to obtain that information, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the secrecy is necessary to allow the military's inquiry to continue uninhibited.

"We have no interest in hiding anything, but what's most important is this prosecution," Gates told reporters.

However, Gates' latest retort has hardly satisfied Lieberman, who initially gave the White House until Monday to release most of its information about suspect Maj. Nidal Hissan.

In a statement first published in Saturday's Wall Street Journal, Lieberman described the White House's approach as "baseless." He later noted the details that he and his Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee have sought for more than five months "clearly has no bearing on the prosecution."

Consequently, the standoff between the White House and Lieberman's committee over the Fort Hood attack seems poised to become President Barack Obama's first legal battle with Congress.

4. If it is to be incumbent upon Muslim' to disavow any contact with so-called Islamofacist ties...

Then it should be no-less incumbent upon other Crusaders to disavow their ties to Christian-Taliban or Zionist manipulations - Micheal Medved, Joesph Lieberman and others have been making these kinds of threats & aspersions for some time now. In a grand game of 'watch the birdie', they do so in the process of pooh-poohing services, funding & resources for goy Americans they then garner for the ultimate benefit of Israel, AIPAC, occupied territory real estate brokers and the tour operators of the ME
