Fort Hood shootings: FBI given gunman’s name six months ago The US Army major who killed 13 people in a shooting spree at America’s biggest military base had come to the attention of the FBI six months earlier over possible links to extremist comments posted on the internet.

By Gordon Rayner and Nick Allen in Fort Hood, Texas Published: 9:59PM GMT 06 Nov 2009

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, a devout Muslim who was trying to buy his way out of the Army, was suspected of being the author of postings which compared suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who throw themselves onto grenades to save others.

It also emerged that Hasan, 39, had described the US Army as “the aggressor” in Iraq and Afghanistan and was resisting a planned deployment to Afghanistan, raising questions over whether the military missed warning signs which might have prevented the massacre.

Witnesses said Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar”, Arabic for God is great, as he opened fire – a phrase commonly used by Islamic militant suicide bombers – though investigators said there was no evidence he had been recruited by al-Qaeda or other Islamic extremist organisations.

Hasan – who was initially thought to have been killed – is being kept alive on a ventilator after being shot four times by a civilian policewoman

Guess it is time to start posting that banner I had regarding Dave Horowitz's book....The Unholy Alliance

Because the Media is part of the alliance.

Good job. It may be the FBI was is the real CYA respondent here.

Remember that NSA did their job and intercepted a Pro Jihadi rant by Hassan regarding suicide bombers. Who do they turn that info to? Of course, the domestic terrorist investigator which is the FBI.

So, the FBI has as much CYA rationale if not more than the Army does.
