Hasan was a live red flag, visible to the FBI. If they had acted sooner, there would have been no Fort Hood shooting. One notable fact is that Hasan was in contact with a radical cleric who sympathized with al-Qaeda.

WASHINGTON — Nearly a year before Maj. Nidal Hasan allegedly went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, terrorism investigators conducted an "assessment" of him before deciding he did not pose a threat.
After the shooting, the FBI is doing a new assessment — of its own conduct.
The Army psychiatrist is believed to have acted alone despite repeated communications — intercepted by authorities — with a radical imam overseas, U.S. officials said Monday. The FBI will conduct an internal review to see whether it mishandled early information about the man accused in the bloody rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 29.
President Barack Obama was joining grieving families and comrades of the victims Tuesday at a memorial service at the sprawling Texas Army base. Hasan, awake and talking to doctors, met his lawyer Monday in the San Antonio hospital where he is recovering, under guard, from gunshot wounds in the assault.

Thos people are out there. They are known to the FBI. What is the FBI going to do now?
Erasing their hard drives?
We will hear lots of lame excuses.
Beginning and ending with
It’s Bush’s fault.
Bull, they just want plenty of stuff hidden. Thank you Mr. Obama...our "born and raised Muslim".
It's all the IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE'S FAULT ! ! ! They are bringing multi-generational terrorists into the country. Let's see: 911, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the Fort Hood shootings, the drug wars, all because of the INS.
(I know the murderer is from Virginia... his parents AREN'T!)
....I still dont believe Flight 800 occured do to uninsulated wires in the center fuel tank........(Thank smoke screen projectors like James Kallstrom)
Except, Gibbs is fiction, our Just Us Department is fiction, the real War on Terror has been fictionalized by the White Crib, the need for Gitmo has been fictionalized, and Hasan's motives are being fictionalized.
Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.
I believe Jethro would have shot this a-wipe.
Anyway let me ask this question.
HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE that the FBI arent telling us about?
When our institutions fail us like this, we the people have to act. Everyone should get their CC permit, and when the next islama-whacko yells out allahu akbar, they will be gunned down.
Fixed it.
Exactly. That's exactly the question the media should be placing front and center in all these press conferences and interviews, and they are failing to do it. The "media" has become pathetic lapdogs. Hopefully the citizenry at large will keep awaking to that fact and begin to wizen up.
Hoover is turning over in his grave the FBI is not about crime preventing or investigating, unless you are white/Christian.
Don’t expect anything to change with the FBI. They’ve slept through a half dozen stolen elections and they know damned well ACORN is involved.
I know Mike Franks would have killed him.
Being they are dressed in Muslim/Arabic garb, should not that sign say Allah instead of “God”?
Just because someone is in contact with Al Qeada studied with the 9-11 hijackers, posted pro-suicide bomber essays online and shot 40+ people in a mass killing while yelling “Allahu Akhbar!!”
and our government knew and did nothing to stop him...
... does not make him a terrorist?
