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

Posted on 07/18/2011 8:05:35 PM PDT by Hunton Peck

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.

Unless by Obama’s orders they are trying to muck up the prosecution on purpose in order to let this pet Moose walk.

Really? The gates have renta cops?
I haven’t been there since 94/95

I’m not sure I was even paying attention.
When I was in the Navy in the 80s, even school commands had military on the gates and working commands used Marines.

As an Army brat in the 60s and 70s, there was always a small rifle rack with 5-6 hunting and target rifles and shotguns in the back of a closet in our quarters. I vaguely remember Dad having to register them, probably with the MPs, but they were definitely in our quarters.

From the day following the attack (Nov 6, 2009)...

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

"Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who allegedly killed 11 people [count now 13, or 14 if you include the unborn child of the 21-year-old female soldier -etl] before being shot and wounded by police at Fort Hood, had said Muslims should "rise up" and attack Americans in retaliation for the US war in Iraq, a former army colleague said."

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Major Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee alleged that other officers had told him that Major Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square" in New York."

"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.

Obama isn't a Muslim. He's a "Black Liberation" communist. Communists don't believe in any religion. They only pretend to when it serves their larger agenda. Commies suck up to the islamo-fascists only because both hate the United States.

From AsiaTimesOnline
Feb 26, 2008

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

Maybe just a Muslim trying to help out his Brother? If there is No defense for an Army Officer taking up arms and murdering fourteen unarmed soldiers and wounding many more. ...being condemned to the rest of his miserable life confined to a wheelchair —as opposed to the Islamic glory of death during jihad— No doubt his Attorney is trying to grab the brass ring of public compassion for this murderer.Claiming the Defense has not received all the e-mail evidence. Oh I agree with the source who suggests mere knowledge that there was correspondence between the disgusting Major Hasan and like
minded Islamic terrorists suggests a pattern of solidarity with murderers/enemies of my Country (terrorists of the most despicable sort)

How much evidence do you need? Bring in ALL the people who were at the shooting that day and ask them to point to the shooter.

Something tells me they will get 100% positive ID.

What you are describing, of course, is Castle Doctrine, and I think it’s one of the best laws we have. With the passage of Castle Doctrine, you no longer need a CHL to be carrying in your car when you are traveling...(if I’m in my car, I’m traveling—LOL)—or in your home.

I know quite a few people who now own guns that ordinarily wouldn’t have, because they didn’t want to be in another gummit data base.

“...Obama isn’t a Muslim. He’s a “Black Liberation” communist. ...”

Please add “POS” to the end of that appellation in all further usage.

It adds a certain, oh, I don’t know, maloderous FLAIR, don’t you think?

And gives it more accuracy as well.

I could ask you the same thing. The Snopes entry means just what it says. One of those quotes is not from Obama, others have been reworded or taken at least somewhat out of context. Still, quotes from the list are mostly but not entirely true.

Here is one of the incorrect Obama quotes: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

I do not have a copy of The Audacity of Hope, but apparently Obama did not say that. According to several Internet sources, this is the actual quote from the book:

Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

So the correct quote is "...I will stand with them should the political winds shift in a ugly direction." In context, "them" clearly refers not to Muslims in general or to Middle Eastern Muslims, but to presumably Muslim American citizens of Arab and Pakistani descent being threatened by other American citizens.

Context matters, and so do quotation marks.

I happen to be a White Christian and I know from his own words that I shouldn’t expect support from him, “should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

A pResident of the United States with a bias towards Muslims. Let’s hope he wins re-election so he can show us his true feelings.
