There is a closer connection between Rasool and Al-Timimi than some might realize.
Sergeant Rasool acting with another officer from a neighboring police department, who represented himself as being with the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, a Hamas friendly Muslim pressure group, funded by the Saudis and named as a co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror prosecution] were successful in stopping an anti-terrorism training program at the Fairfax police department and an associated police academy.
The training program was run by a group headed by GMU Microbiology professor Peter Leitner.
In a letter to Fairfax Chief of Police, David M. Rohrer, from Dr. Peter Leitner, president of the Higgins Center for Counter Terrorism Research he noted:
“For several years, the Higgins Counterterrorism Research Center was a provider of a series of training courses related to Terrorism, Intelligence, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Source Development, etc. We always enjoyed very high ratings from the Department and external personnel who attended our training sessions. We trained many hundreds of your personnel without a hitch until a complaint was filed by Sergeant Weiss Rasool, a Muslim. Sergeant Rasool maliciously accused my organization of being inaccurate, unfair, and mean-spirited in how we portrayed Islam. In conversations with Rasool he admitted to not having studied the Koran or other Islamic doctrine and texts. That did not deter him from accusing us of unfairly portraying Islam.” [source, Investigative Project, http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/misc/131.pdf]
Dr. Peter Leitner, as you may recall from posts above, was the microbiology professor who supervised the thesis on the vulnerabilities of GMU to infiltration.

Now which side has the equities in this debate?
Well, Dr. Leitner is one fellow who had the common sense to know that it is foolhardy to let a man preaching on the end of times and actively in contact with Bin Laden’s sheik, to be working not much more than 15 feet from the leading anthrax scientist and former deputy commander of UAMRIID. The pair was working on the largest biodefense award in history using Delta Ames under a contract with USAMRIID. It seems that this Leitner fellow is someone who could be teaching law enforcement (and GMU Administration and faculty) a thing or two.
The Court found that Sergeant Rasool accessed the NCIC multiple times searching multiple names. Who else did he search?
