The most telling, single event in the aftermath of this attack was the length of time between when it was reported and when Fort Hood authorities held a press conference. The base commandant was being lectured about WHAT could and couldn’t be said.
The FBI, Homeland Security, and the Pentagon - all had Major Hasan on their radar as a security risk. The only person who thwarted the Major being put on the inactive duty roster was President Obama.
Today the people are being told this wasn’t a terrorist plot. That is a lie and it comes from the White House.
That never seen before visitor, along with the early purchase of the FN 5.7, would seem to convert this from a case of "sudden Jihad syndrome" by a lone Muslim, to a terrorist conspiracy. Not for certain yet, but it's heading that way.
