Sen. Joe Lieberman called the Fort Hood massacre an act of “Islamist extremism” – even as top Army brass warned Sunday against guessing at a motive, fearing backlash against Muslim soldiers.

Lieberman, the former Democratic vice presidential candidate, chairs the Senate Homeland Security committee.
