U.S. Army Avoided Jihad Infiltration

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The U.S. Army, fearing political repercussions, refused
to consider the prospect of infiltration by Al Qaida supporters.
A former senior army official told Congress that the military service
drafted guidelines on a range of scenarios, including racism. But the army,
despite the recruitment of thousands of Muslims, many of them converts,
failed to examine prospects of infiltration by Al Qaida and other Islamists.
