Homeland Security Panel Plans to Investigate Fort Hood Shooting - Yahoo! News
Leaders of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee said Wednesday they would investigate potential intelligence failures in the Fort Hood shooting and the overall threat of homegrown terrorism.
Chairman Joseph I. Lieberman, I-Conn., and ranking Republican Susan Collins of Maine said their plan was to produce a report and possibly legislation.
Among their specific questions was whether overly restrictive rules on sharing intelligence between government agencies are still in place.
The panel's first hearing on the topic is scheduled for Thursday. It will feature outside experts because the White House refused to provide witnesses. Lieberman said he was in discussions with the Obama administration to speak with people who are not central to the shooting investigation but can shed light on it.
That would include high-level government officials, including the Army personnel chief as well as people at Walter Reed Army Medical Center who may have known the shooting suspect, Army Maj. Nadal Hasan.
“We are interested in getting the facts and correcting the system so the government can provide the best homeland security for our people,” said Lieberman.
Lieberman said John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, told him to speak to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. about coordinating responses to congressional inquiries.
“I have received no requests to hold off” on the investigation, Lieberman said, despite a Brennan-led review of intelligence in the case to be completed Nov. 30.
Is your car permanently parked on the street while your garage is full to the brim? Is your wife driving you mad every time she says she can’t get to anything? I know exactly how you feel. For me the answer was definitely a storage shed. After deciding that the pre-built ones were just too pricey, I decided I would have to build one myself. I remember how daunted I felt as I began to look for storage shed plans. Looking back, I can say that building my own storage shed turned out to be an awesome decision as I now have easily accessible storage from bikes to pots to leaf blowers and my wife is thrilled.
Here are 4 tips that will help you to choose the storage shed plans you need.
Look for storage shed plans on the web
· Don’t go looking in library books or magazines for storage shed plans. Most of these are either space fillers or are not detailed enough. Very often they are only there for pointing out certain construction techniques and methods. They are not blueprints or plans per se. The web offers the widest selection of detailed blueprints that include a materials list and step by step instructions. Luckily, they come at a reasonable price
Do your homework
- Make sure you plan in advance what the shed is to store and how big the shed has to be. In other words, know what size of shed you need ie. 8x 12. Get a slightly bigger shed that you need. As you probably know storage needs don’t become less and if you’re anything like me, you will definitely add things as the years pass. It’s probably a good idea at this point to check with your building codes to check if you need a building permit to legally raise this structure on your property.
Choose your location and style
- There are lots of considerations here like direction of sunlight, location of utility line. What sort of weather does the shed have to put up with? Hot weather requires vents for the roof while cold, snowy weather needs something sturdier with a robust roof and a vertical angled roof! How many doors and windows do you want? Does the style suit your property?
What’s it all going to cost?
- It’s a good idea to take the list of materials in the plan to different suppliers to estimate how much it is all going to cost you. Remember to add a concrete or timber foundation into the costings if you want your shed to last. Better to do this now than find you have to postpone the project because of a lack of funds.
Do you want to get your hands on storage shed plans that will be the envy of the neighborhood? I found a site that allowed me to access over 12000 shed, garage, barn and woodworking plans in all one package for one reasonable price. Go check out http://www.woodworkpro.info and you’ll soon be saying proudly “I built that myself”
