A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon.
Questions already surround Major Hasan's contact with Awlaki, a radical cleric based in Yemen whom authorities consider a recruiter for al Qaeda. U.S. officials now confirm Hasan sent as many as 20 e-mails to Awlaki. Authorities intercepted the e-mails but later deemed them innocent or protected by the first amendment.
The FBI said it turned over the information to the Army, but Defense Department officials today denied that. One military investigator on a joint terror task force with the FBI was shown the e-mails, but they were never forwarded in a formal way to more senior officials at the Pentagon, and the Army did not learn of the contacts until after the shootings.

ABC actually digging into this means something. Not sure what.
wouldnt surprise me if the emails also indicate some connection to the Obama campaign of 08.
Yathink?!!that might explain a bit...
I saw an article about that also, but know what I heard on radio too... more conflicting stories. There is too much secrecy, denial and outright blackout on the telling of this terrorist attack.
It means the WH switchboard is tied up and they can’t get a line out.
Maybe they were debating whether to pull the plug and pretend he’d been dead on arrival.
Are you in Central Texas?
Maybe I’m sick. But I did consider that. Did you too?
“Unexplained” connections?????
Oh please. Do we really need to spell it out for you?
Muslim advisor to Obama’s Transition Team had many known terrorist ties, before he gunned down 13 Americans.
Administration says don’t rush judgement, not religion inspired.
Administration has been hellbent to unilaterally dismantle the methods that kept terrorism at bay for 8 years.
Administration wants more rights for our enemies, than for Americans.
BUNP
Cheers!
Cheers!
And all because Hasan never accepted Barack H. Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) as his personal savior. /sarc>
"For I will blow {the Muslims}, should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" /sarc>
Prayers for the families.
Cheers!
I think it’s a very real possibility. But in the end I think it’s better he was kept alive, so he can’t be a role model to wannabe jihadists who imagine he’s gone off to Paradise to be with his 72 virgins.
Intelligence services as keystone cops - much worse than we thought. The Army - bunch of PC frat boys?
Some ABC News big-wig was on O’Reilly the other night - and his eyes were OPEN. He wasn’t a conservative - but he wasn’t a brain dead liberal either. He came across as a real newsman — wish I could remember his name.
Brian Ross?
It was Brian Ross.
Even left wing media can’t help themselves when it comes to ferreting out a story that grabs headlines especially if they are worried something will come out and they will look like boobs for not being in on it
