Fort Hood rampage report reveals lapses
Officials: Up to 8 officers may be disciplined for failing to spot danger

WASHINGTON - An internal investigation into the Fort Hood massacre has found that several medical officers failed to use "appropriate judgment and standards of officership" when conducting performance reviews of the alleged shooter.

Among the report's findings is that Army Maj. Nidal Hasan's top-level security clearance was not properly investigated. Had policies been followed properly, investigators say his clearance may have been revoked "and his continued service and pending deployment would have been subject to increased scrutiny."

The study, led by retired Adm. Vern Clark and Togo West Jr., a former Army secretary, suggests that the Army review the case to determine who should be held accountable.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Friday the investigation found the military isn't sufficiently prepared to prevent similar attacks in the future.
