The FBI said today that it appears Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan acted alone in the Fort Hood shootings, and was not involved in terrorist activities when a joint terrorism task force crossed paths with him last year.
“At this point, there is no information to indicate Major Nidal Malik Hasan had any co-conspirators or was part of a broader terrorist plot,” the FBI said in a statement. “The investigation to date has not identified a motive, and a number of possibilities remain under consideration. We are working with the military to obtain, review and analyze all information relating to Major Hasan in order to allow for a better understanding of the facts and circumstances that led to the Fort Hood shooting. Understandably, there is a large volume of information in various forms, and it will take us some time to complete this work.”
The FBI also said the investigation includes forensic examinations of Hasan's computers and any of his Internet activity in hopes of gaining insight into his motivation....
...agents and analysts reviewed unspecified communications between Hasan and the unidentified subject of the investigation, and determined that the content of those communications was consistent with research being conducted by Maj. Hasan in his position as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
“Because the content of the communications was explainable by his research and nothing else derogatory was found, the JTTF concluded that Major Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities or terrorist planning,” the statement said. “Other communications that the FBI was aware of were similar to the ones reviewed by the JTTF.”
The FBI declined today to provide further information about the target of the investigation, or to specify whether that probe remained ongoing.

Methinks they protesteth too much.
Ugh, do duh? What? Am I missing something here?
Well then presumably it’s NORMAL behavior for people of middle-eastern ancestry to contact Al Qaeda twenty or so times...they ALL do that, right?
It’s the 20-strike rule...
Its funny that news story comes out on the same day the geniuses at the FBI claim that he was not a terrorist. Really?! He had business cards essentially stating he was a terrorist!
I agree with them. Hasan appears to be SJS, Sudden Jihadi Syndrome, as opposed to a part of an organized effort. This is not to excuse any like minded scum who might have egged him on, but all outward appearances are that he alone decided that he alone should murder as many of our soldiers as possible.
Gotta give point to Geraldo for creativity with the toothache explanation. Wow that’s original.

Hmm.
Seems like deliberately shooting 40 unarmed victims in the name of Allah would qualify as “terrorist activity”.
...but maybe that’s just me.

Exactly. Uh, what more do they need? Maroons..
WTH! Killing innocent people while screaming Allah Akbar isn’t a terrorist activity?!

Have they heard of the sniff test? Idiots.
Or are Obama and Holder wanting to bury this as quickly as possible?

Amidst all his other problems, bammy just last night compared his middle name Hussein with Hasan and got *more* worried.

How moronic and incompetent they look. We’re paying these guys to help keep us safe from man made disasters? Wow! We’re screwed.
Neil Cavuto reported on his show today that the White House has asked for all documents in possession of all the various agencies, to be turned over to them. Can anyone verify that I heard this right.

Don’t you think we should investigate rather than concluding that based on outward appearances?

We need to have a Congressional hearing on this with both parties involved IMMEDIATELY before they get their shredders working...
