How Chinagate Led to 9/11
Holder to Speak at CAIR Event

The Pentagon said it was never notified by U.S. intelligence agencies that they had intercepted emails between the alleged Fort Hood shooter and an extremist imam until after last week's bloody assaults, raising new questions about whether the government could have helped prevent the attack.
A top defense official said federal investigators didn't tell the Pentagon they were looking into months of contacts between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki. The imam knew three of the Sept. 11 hijackers and hailed Maj. Hasan as a "hero" after the shooting last week at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead.
"Based on what we know now, neither the United States Army nor any other organization within the Department of Defense knew of Maj. Hasan's contacts with any Muslim extremists," the official said.
The Pentagon comments fueled a growing dispute among various branches of the government about whether Maj. Hasan should have been more deeply investigated before he allegedly walked into a crowded soldier-readiness center at Fort Hood and opened fire.
A person familiar with the matter said a Pentagon worker on a terrorism task force overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was told about the intercepted emails several months ago. But members of terror task forces aren't allowed to share such information with their agencies, unless they get permission from the FBI, which leads the task forces.
In this case, the Pentagon worker, an employee from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, helped make the assessment that Maj. Hasan wasn't a threat, and the FBI's "procedures for sharing the information were never used," said the person familiar with the matter.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama had ordered all agencies involved in national and homeland security to review Maj. Hasan's case to find out if warning signs were missed .......

The suspected Fort Hood terrorist's former mosque in Maryland is controlled by the radical Muslim Brotherhood, a Saudi-funded worldwide jihadist movement which controls many of the mosques in America.

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.
It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.
Lieberman: Committee investigation of Fort Hood to go forward
***************************************EXCERPT***********************************
The chairman said the scope of the probe would address the motives of the alleged shooter Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan and whether signs of "Islamic extremism" were apparent, but missed or ignored.
Exactly my thoughts. The same problems, 8 years later.
Thanks....and Yes, that’s why I mentioned his name.. but will he be able to force them to release info they don’t want released?
I would like to see it happen....them resisting ...and the Media trying to spin it....
And who, in Congress, is chairman of the committee dealing with criminal activity as well as "subversive activities affecting the internal security of the United States"?
None other than the Honorable John Conyers (D-Detroit).
I have no idea what our intel agencies or anyone else can do about this. We got Holder as AG, Conyers overseeing him, Henry Waxman overseeing everything the government does and Charlie Rangel holding the funding of the government in his hot little hands.
Well at least we are going to find out if those who urged everyone to vote third party and not to vote for the lesser of two evil because things had to get worse for them to get better were right.
Them maybe FOX will be the buffer between lieberman and the whitehouse... If they get their teeth on it, they won’t let go. (I hope)
The Washington, DC-based law firm Covington & Burling
(C&B), where Eric Holder was a partner, was representing 17
Yemeni detainees (and one Pakistani national) in Guantanamo
Bay. A notable former client of Holder's firm was yet
another Guantanamo detainee, Abdallah al-Ajmi from Kuwait, who contributed
to an anthology of detainee poetry compiled and published
by Holder's C&B colleague, Marc Falkoff. Falkoff likened
the "gentle, thoughtful" poets' plight to that of the Jews
who had been held in concentration camps during World War
II. The aforementioned Kuwaiti was released from Guantanamo
in 2005 and promptly resumed his terrorist activities. In
March 2008 he blew himself up with a truck bomb in Mosul,
Iraq, killing 13 Iraqi army soldiers and wounding 42 others.

“I thought the Army did really extensive background checks, he was recently promoted, does that not happen? Who does the background checks and what info do they search?”
Are you kidding? The way this guy’s background was checked you would think he wanted to be President!
how in the hell can we expect them to protect us?

We can’t. Buy guns, buy ammo and be ready to defend yourself.
EDITORIAL: Gitmo lawyers
A deal is in the works to send Yemeni detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Saudi Arabia, but don’t ask the attorney general about it.
Executive Order 13493 on Jan. 22 appointed Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. co-chairman of the Special Task Force on Detainee Disposition, the interagency group charged with determining the status of persons captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations. But according to Justice Department regulations, Mr. Holder is required to recuse himself from certain detainee matters because his law firm represented the detainees.
The Legal Times reported in March that there are more than a dozen such conflicted lawyers at the department. This includes five of the top 10 officials in the department, including the attorney general; Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden; Associate Attorney General Thomas J. Perrelli; Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Tony West; and Lanny A. Breuer, chief of the Criminal Division, who, like Mr. Holder, hails from the firm Covington & Burling LLP.

The FBI would not comment on what the agents were looking for at the mosque a full five days after the shooting, but motivation remains the focus.
"Obviously, the key is did he act alone," former senior FBI official Brad Garrett told ABC News. "And secondarily is, what evidence might potentially be in the dumpsters or at the mosque." LINK
Now there's a shocker! Imagine the islamofascist, foreign born, communist bass-turd not releasing records!
IIRC, the promotion came after completion of his internship, residency and fellowship, which is SOP I believe. The fact that he was at Walter Reed for all six years completing them is disturbing, to say the least.
Big Deal. Did they know about the inappropriate presentation? Did they know he was pushing Islam to soldiers? Did they know about his postings on the internet? Did he wear his koranimal outfit normally (from the video of that a.m.)? There were apparently many clues.
It did seem odd that there were 3 and suddenly there were not. Surprised the media isn’t pursuing this, if not to tar the Army.
