Gates report rips DoD's handling of Nidal Hasan

What this report does NOT address is the personal responsibility up and down Nidal Hassan’s chain of command. That report recommends that a number of individuals who failed to report Hassan’s erratic behavior be relieved of duty or disciplined. The list reportedly includes commanders and officers at Walter Reed, where Hassan had worked as a staff psychiatrist counseling soldiers with PTSD returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Army officials tell NBC News that the report is still sitting on the Army Secretary’s desk while Army lawyers struggle to determine what legal hurdles must be cleared.
