Officials: Army to Put Civilian in Charge of Criminal Probes

The Associated Press | By Lolita C. Baldor

WASHINGTON — The Army plans to put a civilian in charge of the command that conducts criminal investigations, a response to widespread criticism the unit is understaffed, overwhelmed and filled with inexperienced investigators, officials familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.

The decision, expected to be announced Thursday, reflects recommendations made by an independent commission in the wake of violent crimes and murders at Fort Hood, Texas, including the death of Vanessa Guillén, whose remains were found about two months after she was killed.

According to officials, the Army Criminal Investigation Command, or CID, will be separated from the Provost Marshall General's office, and instead of being run by a general officer it will be overseen by a yet-to-be-named civilian director. The move is designed to improve the capabilities of the command and address the findings of the Fort Hood commission.

I hope this civilian has close ties to SecDef so information about white, conservative, "terrorists" can make it's way faster to him/her for the "safety" of the American people.  It's good to know that information to such a person doesn't necessarily have to be correct as he or she, or a he/she can "modify" it to keep American's safer. *****rollingeyes*****
