Exclusive: FBI and Pentagon Missed Red Flag that Hasan Was E-mailing Qaeda Cleric, Who's also Linked to Abdulmutallab

CBS) Less than a month after major Nidal Hasan allegedly killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, the Pentagon's top intelligence officer sent the White House a report detailing an earlier failure to connect the dots. It reads like a dress rehearsal for the Detroit bomber case, reports CBS News chief national security correspondent David Martin.

According to that still-classified report, the terrorism task force responsible for determining whether Hasan posed a threat never saw all 18 e-mails he exchanged with that radical Yemeni cleric Awlaki whose communications were being monitored under a court ordered wireta

If the base commander had ordered the arrest of the Muslim, Major Hassan the day before the murders that commander would be out on his ass today. Profiling, kiss you career goodbye.

Career people know that no one will come to their defense if they single out a Muslim before he kills anyone.

FINALLY.

I've only been posting about this for over two weeks now. Where was ODumbo’s presser after the “systemic failure” that killed 14 of our best and brightest?

after major Nidal Hasan allegedly killed 13 people at Fort Hood

1. He killed 14

2. Allege; to assert without proof. It would seem there is plenty of "proof" that he killed 14 that day. Nothing alleged about it.

You’re correct about the number; the media doesn’t want to count the unborn child. However, the use of “alleged” when a crime is reported in the media is standard; defense attorneys can claim the jurors were prejudiced by media coverage and/or they can sue if somehow their client is acquitted or charges are dismissed.

Of course, none of this would be applicable if the Army weren’t so freaking PC that no one would turn this guy in and charge him AHEAD OF TIME with terroristic threats. He needs to be tried under military code as a traitor OR as an enemy combatant (spy).
