Carl Levin (D-Mich.) might have postponedthis week’s planned Senate Armed Services Committee briefing on the Fort Hood shooting after President Obama asked Congress to await the results of ongoing Army and FBI inquiries. But today the committee will go forward with a closed-door briefing on Fort Hood, held at the Russell office building at 2 p.m. The briefers, according to a release sent out by committee staffers just now, have yet to be determined, but the meeting will focus on “the Army’s rules and procedures relevant to Major Hasan’s personnel records and the sharing of information with the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).” No word as yet as to why the briefing is being held today after being postponed just a few days ago in accordance with administration requests.
