Only one year ago, a US Army Psychologist (Major, by rank) who was a militant Muslim-extremist, entered a pre-deployment processing center on Fort Hood, and proceeded to gun down everyone he could find. The death toll was 13 (News 8 Austin 2010). The incident sparked a tragic, but necessary, interest in countering the threat from within the ranks of not just the US Army, but throughout the Department of Defense and the Federal Government. Since that terrible day, the buzzword has been “insider threat.” A logical extension of this line of thought has also sparked renewed emphasis in Counterintelligence (CI).
