Fort Hood gunman congratulates Taliban from death row in handwritten letter
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/08/21 | Pamela K. Browne

EXCLUSIVE - The former U.S. Army major and self-described “soldier of Allah” behind the deadly 2009 massacre at Fort Hood cheered the resurgent Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in a letter obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner.

Writing from death row at Fort Leavenworth, Nidal Hasan boasted “We Have Won” and congratulated the Taliban. Hasan, who gunned down 14 people and wounded 43 more, urged the nascent terrorist government to implement its brand of brutal oppression under the guise of religion.

“Congratulations on your victory over those who hate for the Laws of All-Mighty God to be supreme on the land,” Hasan wrote in the letter, dated Aug. 18. “I pray to Allah that He helps you implement Shariah Law full, correctly and fairly.”

Although Hasan, who was radicalized by Imam Anwar al Awlaki and had business cards calling himself a “soldier of Allah,” shouted “Allahu Akbar” during his Nov. 5, 2009, rampage, the Obama administration stubbornly refused to classify the attack as an act of terrorism. Instead, the Pentagon deemed it a case of “workplace violence,” which made victims ineligible for the Purple Heart until Congress intervened. In 2013, Hasan was convicted by a military court for murdering 13 people and sentenced to death.

In his neatly handwritten letter, Hasan asked his attorney, retired Army Col. John Galligan, to deliver his message of congratulations to the Taliban’s leadership - many of whom were held at Guantanamo Bay until they were freed by the Obama administration in a controversial swap for U.S. Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl.

Execute him on 9/11 - that’d be the best payback.

You must have missed this part: "In his neatly handwritten letter"

Sure, he may be a murdering terrorist, who hates America and sides with the Taliban, but at least he has good penmanship!

Seriously though, it struck me as odd that the writer inserted that little tidbit into the article.

But the real tragedy of his attack would have a questioning of the value of diversity in our Army. At least that’s what the base commander at the time said.

This should not have ever been publicized. Somebody in the prison’s chain of custody is not thinking.

I worked with him at Walter Reed during the Afghan War.

He seemed creepy back then. If he had to talked to me, he wouldn’t even look at me.

Don’t know why he is still alive.

BBC World Service radio had “expert” from Kings College, London today, who said islamists had lost in last five years, so were demoralised as they and their followers saw them as losers.

he then said what has happened in Afghanistan has emboldened them, because they & their followers feel like winners again, and ISIS is now actively encouraging wannabe jihadis worldwide to attack the West.

the “expert” did not thank PRESIDENT TRUMP for the first; and did not blame PRESIDENT BIDEN for the second.

Not dead. Alive and well and encouraging his buddies just like always. He should have got the needle (too easy) years ago.
