The Washington Times website reports today (December 8, 2011) that lawmakers -- at a special joint House-Senate hearing yesterday -- revealed that Al Qaeda has infiltrated the U.S. armed forces, resulting in military facilities becoming dangerous for American troops.
Rep. Peter King of New York -- chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee -- said at the hearing, "The Department of Defense considers the U.S. homeland the most dangerous place for a G.I. outside of foreign war zones, and the top threat they face here is from violent Islamist extremists."
A report from the hearing states, "There is reason to believe that the actual number of radicalized troops is far more than publicly realized or acknowledged."
The report also states that Al Qaeda's primary ongoing effort in the U.S. military is "to recruit or radicalize vulnerable servicemen to commit future acts of terror."

Our troops in combat zones have Muslim commanders who are fraternizing with the local Imams, even inviting them to their offices on the base after hours.
