In 2005, we told you about Shannen Rossmiller, a Montana woman who works as a "cyber spy" and helped catch Ryan Anderson, a National Guardsman from Washington who was supplying intelligence to al-Qaeda and was helping to plan an attack on a tank crew.

Last night, Rossmiller appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 and stated that the recent attack at Fort Hood by Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan could have been stopped, but key resources were ignored.

From here at the KRTV studios, Rossmiller told Anderson Cooper and his national audience that a formerly unclassified paper on the radicalization of U.S. troops has been ignored.

Rossmiller contributed to the report and says she sees many of the same characteristics in Major Hasan that she detected in Ryan Anderson before he was arrested for aiding al Qaeda in 2004.

Rossmiller said, "The Defense Department report was intended to prevent something like this, and it's just astonishing that this even had to happen after something like that has been prepared as a useful tool."

Speaking of the Fort Hood attack, Rossmiller stated, "It's an atrocity that this even had to happen...you would think, eight years after 9/11, we'd be smarter."

Rossmiller told Cooper that the attacks like the one at Fort Hood will likely occur again, but she says they don't have to. She believes it's time to quit being politically correct and start taking the correct measures to be safe.

Also appearing with Rossmiller on the CNN segment was Representative Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee.

Rossmiller, who at one time was the youngest municipal judge in the nation, currently runs a cyber counter-terrorism consulting agency based in Helena.
