The panel was set up in 2008, but people from Obama’s transition team were added in the fall of last year. If you read the thing, it’s obvious that the final meeting of this group was after Obama was elected, as he is mentioned as being the ‘new’ President. The question is who sent this islamist to take part in this panel?
Bet folks are scrambling to find a picture of this dude and Obama together. The the question is whether they’ll destroy them or post them.
To this post & your post 98:
Has this Transition Team fact been reported anywhere else?
This needs to get out to 1) stimulate investigation in the right direction; & 2) dispel the “he was just a lone crazy” theory.
Answer may be at Walter Reed. Was being watched by FBI for 6 months? Why would they want to reassign someone being investigated?
You think there is more that these two already embarrassing “screw-up” facts.
The “who” answer may be on the transition team list.
BHO Administration response to Presidential Transition Team revelation (they were ready for this);
WND is only source I can find who has picked this up.:

The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University published a document May 19, entitled “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009,” in which Hasan of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant.
Hasan received his medical degree from the military’s Uniformed Services University School in Bethesda, Md., in 2001.
Noting that the Obama administration transition was proceeding, the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute report described on the first page the role of the Presidential Transition Task Force as including “representatives from past Administrations, State government, Fortune 500 companies, academia, research institutions and non-governmental organizations with global reach.”
While the GWU task force participants included several members of government, including representatives of the Department of Justice and the U.S Department of Homeland Security, there is no indication in the document that the group played any formal role in the official Obama transition, other than to serve in a university-based advisory capacity.
Daniel Kaniewski, deputy director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University affirmed to WND in a telephone interview this morning that the Nidal Hasan listed as attending the meetings of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force was the same person as the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood massacre.
Kaniewski said Hasan attended the meetings in his capacity as a member of the faculty of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, not as a member of the HSPI Presidential Task Force.
Kaniewski believed Hasan applied on the institute’s website to attend the meeting and was accepted because of his professional credentials.
Kaniewski could not tell WND whether or not Hasan made comments from the audience that influenced the task force recommendations or not.
He further confirmed Hasan had attended several meetings held by the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University and that the institute is currently searching conference records to see if it is possible to determine what additional institute conferences he attended.
