"...The conspirators were in the Armys 902nd Military Intelligence Groups MOS 09L program (Lima Nine), E Company, 187th Ordnance Battalion. Lima Nine was started because of the Armys desperate lack of linguists speaking Pashto, Dari or Arabic. To attract such recruits, military intelligence promises foreigners that if they join the Army as a translator they will get U.S. citizenship and a top security clearance. Candidates from Afghanistan and Iraq, including the Jackson Five, speak such poor English the Army puts them in Lima Nine and gives them English lessons, so they will have some hope of passing basic training. Clayton Leishman, program manager, said 34 recruits in the program last summer scored 50 in English, below the 80 required, but with 24 weeks of tutoring they would pass basic. Another program director, Lt. Col. Frank Deminth, said Lima Nine recruits are put on a fast track to U.S. citizenship, once they serve one day of honorable active duty. It is interesting to note that when these Muslims join Lima Nine they also are joining an Army intelligence group.
The arrest of five Muslims in Lima Nine could not have come at a worse time for Gen. Casey, who said of Hasans massacre, What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy. But I think it would be a greater tragedy if it (affected) our diversity. Whatever hour of the night he was told about the Jackson Five, it must have seemed to him his treasured diversity had jumped up yet again to bite his four-starred posterior. Casey must have leaped into action. As a result, what happened was nothingfor two months. Dead silence. Then CBN found out about it, and conflicting statements by Army and CID spokesmen and by Rep. Wilson tell the rest of the story."

The Daily Caller has it's own correspondents so it deals in fresh not just recycled.
Neither Casey nor Obama give a rat's ass about the safety of our Troops, and they will not allow them or ANYONE for that matter to know about muslims who are murdering or attempting to murder America's Patriots in uniform.
There is a certain amount of politics at these levels in the military. Casey, however, has a terminal case.
He only cares about his own damn career, and is as dangerous as he is stupid.
I showed this several people who try to keep up with the news and none had heard of this fast track to U.S. citizenship and several other items mentioned here.
