If it was legitimate research, did he use his full name, and/or his miltary affiliation, and did he use an Army computer for the contact? Is there anything in the communication that suggets it was clandestine, or did he do it openly, without concern of detection? Any street cop worth his salt could easily answer these basic questions if he had access to these ‘innocent’ communications.

Bill Clinton was able to use this logic for one free grope.

I heard just yesterday on WLS radio 18% of the women on Chicago mass transit have been sexually assaulted. The mass transit's answer? If after telling the perpetrator his advances are unwelcome, he must stop, but if doesn't, the driver can call the police.

One free grope institutionalized!

It’s like someone - some rocknroll guy? - with child porn on his computer, he was doing “research”.

Research project:

That’s the same excuse that online porn users give.

Of course, every US citizen has terrorists' email addresses handy for "research purposes", right????

That alone should cap it for anyone with an ounce of common sense. And not only does Hasan know precisely how to personally contact this terrorist, the terrorist accommodates Hasan's email chit chats--a plausible notion only if Al-Aulaqi was entirely confident that Hasan was a fellow traveler. No way would al-Aulaqi have risked himself to help out an American soldier with research that would benefit the US military. He had to have been 100% sure of Hasan.

So why would al-Aulaqi be that sure of Hasan? Who gave Hasan al-Aulaqi's e-mail address, and who vouched for Hasan to Al-Aulaqi? The terrorist would not have relied on a few casual encounters with Hasan at the mosque 10 years ago. He'd have thoroughly vetted the guy with numerous trusted contacts to establish his unquestioned ongoing and current loyalty to radical Islam.

Exactly. Ok, perhaps (just a personal idea with nothing to sustain it) the FBI was stringing him along to see other contacts might be much like when cops let drug dealers continue to operate month after month and year after year claiming they're waiting to nab the top guys. Sorry, but I don't buy either tactic. Too much is at risk. Too many innocent lives can be lost during the wait. No, there were too many red flags. There is no excuse for pushing him to these limits (transfer and deployment). That or PC or whatever, the army and the FBI share in some of the blame.
