They don't share Intel in case one department may be compromised and affect other fields.

The intelligence agencies don't share information about suspects? I thought that was straightened out after 9/11/01. It makes no sense that the CIA knows about bad guys and/or suspicious people, but doesn't share with FBI, and vice versa. Hasan should have been known to ALL intel communities!

They say the weapons he used were his own, if he legally obtained them why was he not under strict surveillance?

What worries me is that there has been enough in the current reports about the Major, which indicate that he has been under investigation since 2002 (poss. May of that year) and at least five other times since.
