Hasan had intensified contact with cleric
Washington Post ^ | November 21, 2009 | Carrie Johnson, Spencer S. Hsu and Ellen Nakashima

In the months before the deadly shootings at Fort Hood, Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan intensified his communications with a radical Yemeni American cleric and began to discuss surreptitious financial transfers and other steps that could translate his thoughts into action, according to two sources briefed on a collection of secret e-mails between the two.

"He [Hasan] clearly became more radicalized toward the end, and was having discussions related to the transfer of money and finances . . .," said the source, who spoke at length in part because he was concerned the public accounting of the events has been incomplete. "It became very clear toward the end of those e-mails he was interested in taking action."

What, if anything, authorities on the task force and in the Army should have done differently after Hasan emerged as a possible problem is the subject of multiple congressional and executive branch investigations, including one ordered by President Obama.

Obviously, the FBI leaked the info to Walter Reed (or it was Walter Reed that put the FBI onto him) at which time they wanted to separate themselves from him so had him shipped off to Ft. Hood and to eventual deployment. They swept it under the rug. They may not have pulled the trigger, but they certainly didn't do anything to stop the massacre. Hussein's investigation is two fold, 1) to look good for the Christian community, and 2) to CYA his Muslim faith.

Of course if this was another Timothy McVeigh contacting whitey supremacists he would have been stopped months ago.

Given the choice of using the contact to EXTERMINATE
al Qaeda, buried SOA in FBI and the ARMY elected
to use, instead, the contact to exterminate US Patriots.

The entry of terrorists into the US Govt and military
may be the decapitating blow to America.
Wake up, America!

Interesting. During the Bush years, people in the security agencies leaked secret information to the ComPost and the NYTimes because they were lefties who hated Bush.

Now we have people leaking secrets to the ComPost because they hate Obama and Holder for their treatment of the CIA.

In other words, instead of leaking because he hates Bush, this anonymous source is leaking because he fears the danger to our country if Obama and Holder cover up for their friends the Muslim terrorists.
