Anwar Al-'Awlaki, al Qaeda linked Muslim Cleric on his contact with the Fort Hood Terrorist Major Hasan:

"Naturally, as I told you, the first message was asking for an edict regarding the [possibility] of a Muslim soldier killing his colleagues who serve with him in the American army. In other messages, Nidal was clarifying his position regarding the killing of Israeli civilians. He was in support of this, and in his messages he mentioned the religious justifications for targeting the Jews with missiles. Then there were some messages in which he asked for a way through which he could transfer some funds to us [and by this] participate in charitable activities."

When it was first reported that Fort Hood Terrorist was corresponding with al Qaeda Cleric Anwar Al-'Awlaki, investigators said it all seemed like part his psychological research duties. Last night Arab Network Aljazeera.net posted an interview with the cleric that seemed to dispute that assumption (Aljazeera only posted the interview on its Arabic site so we only have parts of the interview). Anwar Al-'Awlaki faulted American foreign policy for creating the conditions which ignited the rampage in which 13 were killed, Coincidentally it was reported this morning that Anwar Al-'Awlaki was killed in an air strike in Yemen, but now that report is disputed

hahaha! So true.

Merry Christmas to you too, hoosiermama. I have to admit the thought of this SOB being room temperature has made my day!

Hmmm. Verrrry interesting theories. The White House has insisted that all hearings be closed sessions and they have been dragging their feet on the investigation - so it wouldn't surprise me in the least...

Ft. Hood Jihadi: FBI kept in the dark about his personnel records...

[hoosiermama]

Like many here....It does make a person want more answers! Who were his contacts? Who knew what when? Was he being silenced? Is he really dead? Does he know Elvis?

One of the charities/front groups located at Timimi’s mosque the Dar al Arqam was the Muslim World League. Not sure what the other one is though I know there is some connection between Timimi and Benevolence Intl.

"...I wondered how the American security agencies, who claim to be able to read car license plate numbers from space, everywhere in the world, I wondered how [they did not reveal this]."

The NSA didn't know Hasan was emailing the imam. Were they even looking?

Someone needs to be court-martialed for this FUBAR, and whoever it is needs to have at least one star on their shoulder or lapel.
