Political correctness root of missed red flags

I heard Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., state that he wants to hold hearings on why the Army missed so many red flags regarding the killer at Fort Hood, Texas.

Lieberman doesn't need to investigate that. The reason is simple: political correctness.

If the killer had been a kook radical Christian spouting the same kind of things as the killer has done over the years, he would have been drummed out of the Army. But the killer's superiors, afraid of being accused of Islamic bigotry/prejudice, did nothing.
