WASHINGTON (AP) - The first Capitol Hill hearing on the Fort Hood shootings got underway Thursday.
The Senate Homeland Security Committee is looking at the threat posed by homegrown terrorism and chairman Joe Lieberman said it also wants to know whether the shooting was the result of intelligence failures.
Lawmakers are concerned that federal agencies may not be sharing intelligence information.
Lieberman and the panel's top Republican, Susan Collins, said
the congressional investigation won't get in the way of other
ongoing probes.
