Was The Fort Hood Shooter Going To Be Used As Bait?

AJ is thinking the same think I have been thinking all this week. See Was Hasan Promoted And Ordered To Afghanistan As Bait?

I sort of disagree with AJ that we can assume such a operation was wrong headed from the start. British intelligence often complains that Americans move in too quick before the plan is developed and thus not catch everyone. There is risk, and indeed in this case a tragic consequence, but again we don't know exactly what the Government thought they had.

It would explain the sudden effort to close down congressional investigations.
