The phrase 'man-made disaster' comes to mind. It would appear that the Fort Hood shooter assisted the Obama administration's transition planning for homeland security. Gawker does the heavy lifting for the lame-stream media:
The gunman who killed 12 people today at Ft. Hood appears, based on current media reports, to be Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force last year.The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.
According to the task force's May 2009 report, a "Nidal Hasan" from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant. Other participants included Senate and House staffers, Department of Homeland Security officials, Defense Department officials, and reporters for Politico, the Washington Post, and the London Times.
The real dangers, of course, are beanie babies. Or the Christian right. Not radicals who espouse the destruction of the West and the concomitant establishment of a new Caliphate.
