Justice: The wife of a Fort Hood survivor claims the Defense Department is "slapping victims with gag orders" and telling family members not to talk to the press following testimony in the trial of Nidal Hasan.
One of the great scandals of the Obama administration has been its shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Maj. Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence."
It has only compounded the pain and suffering of the victims and their families who have now apparently been ordered to shut up about it.
Thirteen people were killed, 14 if you count the baby being carried by a pregnant soldier, and 32 others shot in the Nov. 5, 2009, massacre Fort Hood, where Hasan, a self-proclaimed "soldier of Allah," shouted "Allahu Akbar" and began shooting in defense of the Taliban.
Autumn Manning, wife of one of the survivors, Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, is claiming via Twitter that the Defense Department is "slapping victims with gag orders" along the lines of this: Don't talk to the press following testimony in the Hasan trial.
They are forbidden from discussing, among other things, their denial of benefits as a result of the Obama administration's designation of the slaughter as a case of "workplace violence."
Manning later clarified that the DOD's gag order applied only to witnesses, though she also claims family members were told not to talk to the press.

Yet team Trayvon still won’t shut up.
Our gubmint is telling the families to STFU while allowing Hasan to speak freely while STILL collecting his salary.
Heard it was designated as work place violence so the families could not be compensated.
I’m sure the government is telling everybody not to talk to the press - not that the press is really interested - because they don’t want any accountability.
This, to me, has been one of the most horrible things I have seen under the Obama dictatorship. Why is he just shrugging off the killings of citizens - and serving military on their own base - committed by a man who clearly considers himself (and in fact is) an enemy combatant?
Wait, they aren’t getting any benefits. They should lawyer up and tell the world. So much so they should go on the networks and ask, if this isn’t terrorism then what is?
More from the Muslim regime.
