The Pentagon on Friday offered its view of what the military missed before a massacre at Fort Hood, Texas.

People who worked with him say Major Nidal Hassan left many warning signs before allegedly opening fire last year.

Defense Secretary Gates says the internal Pentagon policy review "raises serious questions" about the military's ability to cope with security threats within its ranks.
