New Documents in Fort Hood Shooting Case Raise Concerns About Prosecution's Handling of Evidence
FoxNews.com ^ | July 18, 2011 | Catherine Herridge

A new filing in the Fort Hood case shows that a key White House Intelligence report on the Fort Hood Shooting in November 2009 is still being withheld from the defense. The Army also admits it does not have all of the emails exchanged between the accused shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan and the first American on the CIA’s kill or capture list, Anwar al-Awlaki.

The documents, filed on July 14 as part of the Fort Hood prosecution, state:

“Trial counsels (Army lawyers) have produced all electronic communication in their possession between the Accused and Anwar al-Awlaki. On information and belief, trials counsels do not believe they possess all electronic communications between the Accused and the individuals (al-Awlaki.)”

Hasan’s defense lawyer, John Galligan, says he was given nine emails by the military as part of the discovery process. Yet, sources who have reviewed the email exchange between Hasan and Awlaki which began in December 2008 tell Fox News there are at least 18 emails.

Characterization of the emails exchanged between the accused Fort Hood shooter and the cleric range from benign to clearly concerning in tone. In one email, Hasan reportedly asked if it was okay to kill Americans – though U.S. officials will not comment publicly on the accuracy of those reports or the contents of the emails.

Yet, some former intelligence officials say the mere contact between Hasan and Awlaki – an American citizen who leads the new breed of Digital Jihadists who spread their ideology of hate through the web – should have prompted immediate action. Fox News’ investigative unit, in its special “Secrets of 9/11,” has shown that Awlaki’s contact with three of the 9/11 hijackers was not a series of coincidences but rather evidence of a purposeful relationship.

Don't know what the relevance of this could be to the mass-murdering Islamoscum's prosecution. Maybe it's just a journalist trying to come up with an angle.

If the Prosecution has not yet attempted to interview the Washington Post investigative reporters who used Hassan as a source back in the Walter Reed scandal, and then done a search on the internet to find “leftwing noise” regarding someone at Walter Reed who thought many of the psychological care crowd should be tried for warcrimes (words right out of Hassan’s mouth), then the Prosecution has not yet even begun to plumb the depths of this case.

Screw the trial. They should just release him on the base and see how long he can survive without protection.

Why would the JAG not honor the discovery process?
What an idiot.

Prosecutors in the military are always officers with superiors.

Apparently the emails were with held from the discovery process due to Classified information.

This will all get worked out, and Hassan will face justice.

A Coil of Rage

The character of any man is defined by how he treats his mother as the years pass ... need I say more about this person below other than there is no character, no integrity but there is a ton of attitude and arrogance that defines his shallow past and hollow future ... I rest my case.

I bought and read Audacity of Hope. It was difficult to read considering his attitude toward us and everything American. Let me add a phrase he uses to describe his attitude toward whites.

He harbors a "COIL OF RAGE". His words not mine. THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT Is anyone out there awake?

Everyone of voting age should read these two books: Don't buy them, just get them free from a library.

>From Dreams From My Father:

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

>From Dreams From My Father:

"I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

>From Dreams From My Father:

"There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of myself, maybe and white."

>FromDreams From My Father:

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, tostrike out and name names."

>From Dreams From My Father:

"I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: The attributers of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

And FINALLY ...... and most scary:

>From Audacity of Hope:

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

This is what we should expect from a Muslim pResident.

I think this is just a hiccup in the process.

Perhaps means and methods are at risk of compromise.

Kind’a sounds like Hasan, OJ, and Casey could sign up for a threesome.

"Hassan will face justice."

The swiftest path to justice for him would have been if our soldiers had been armed and able to return fire, of course. Failing that, I'm gonna stay a little less than absolutely confident that someone won't find a way to screw this up.

As with the Roger Clemens mistrial, is this a new Obama administration tactic to use prosecutor mishandling to throw cases unpopular to Obama?

As I understand it, Harpu, no one on a military base is armed—that’s why he was able to kill so many. I never knew that before, I just assumed that at least the MP’s were armed.

It is crazy that our “armed forces” May not be armed on a military base.

I could be sitting in Shoepfes BBQ with a firearm but not on the base.
