With each new revelation about the Fort Hood killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, it becomes more apparent the FBI failed and dropped the ball very badly, in an investigation they should have been able to piece together, identifying a terrible threat to national security.
According to the AP, there may be more emails from, Nidal Malik Hasan, which should have sent up many red flags at the FBI, who intercepted them a year ago. One wonders, due to the FBI's notorious cloud of secrecy and habit of hiding self-incriminating evidence, if all the facts and items relevant to the case, will ever see the light of day, under the watch of its villainous chief, Robert S. Mueller.
Nidal Malik Hasan
Congress already warned the FBI to preserve the evidence related to Fort Hood, but they have destroyed items in the past in other cases, to dodge accountability, which is unlawful.
It is also being stated in the press, there is proof Hasan violated military guidelines, in associating with members of Islamic extremist hate groups and passing out literature related to those views.
Had the FBI passed along Hasan's emails to the military, which the Bureau had in their possession for almost a year prior to the shootings at Fort Hood, I am of the belief, they would have realized the threat they had in their midst.
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
I still do not grasp why the emails were not forwarded to the military, yet the FBI has time to sit on websites like Drudge Report, Politico and the Judiciary Report, coming up in the site statistics as regular visitors. That's not what the taxpayers pay your salaries for and at a whopping $8.5 billion a year, the FBI is hardly a bargain, especially for such poor results. Operating in the manner it does, had the FBI been a corporation, it would have gone under years ago.
One has to wonder, if the FBI once again, engaged in some type of turf war, as they routinely do with ATF, CIA and the NSA. On September 15, 2009, two months before the Fort Hood shooting, the Judiciary Report, for the second time, denounced the FBI's unwillingness to cooperatively share information with its counterparts:
It was also reported today, the FBI continues to feud with sister agency the ATF, who specializes in bomb detonation, in an ongoing turf war that is counterproductive.
At a time when terrorist threats are flooding in, it has been discovered, the two agencies are not sharing information, which is detrimental to the nation. Why are they fighting, as they are supposed to be on Team America. Obama needs to speak to them, as what they are doing is dangerous.
Once again, the FBI's hogging of information, has proven dangerous. It lends the appearance FBI HQ is in it for the glory and credit and not saving lives.
One wonders, if the FBI is sued for the wanton case of criminal negligence and wrongful death that is Fort Hood, particularly its vile director, if Robert S. Mueller, will seek to invoke his standard excuse for being completely inept and corrupt at his job, "The shield of immunity."
Since when does the "shield of immunity" allow you to get innocent people maimed and killed, via preventable acts of terrible violence, you were compelled by law to stop, in your capacity as FBI Director, especially in light of the fact you had credible evidence in your possession that anybody with any sense could see posed a threat to human life. In your case they should call it the "shield of stupidity."
This is the same FBI director that almost fell for an identity theft scam, regarding clicking an email link and amazingly admitted it in an article weeks ago, thinking it a cute anecdote. However, it set off alarm bells with feedback commenters, who stated he is not technologically savvy or smart enough for the job, to nearly fall for something FBI agents investigate and aim to stay ahead of on a weekly basis.
As the site stated prior to the Fort Hood shootings, in what it shall state again, Mueller needs to step down before anyone else gets killed, due to his criminal negligence and sheer incompetence. Your ego in staying in the job, should not take precedence over public safety.
I ask, do you think you bring honor to the FBI, by lecherously lingering in a post, full well knowing, you are sorely inadequate to the task at hand, as this fact has firmly been established with the massive failures and fiascos that have transpired under your watch, with Fort Hood being one of them and 9/11 another, with other items such as the Patriot Act Abuse scandal and computer system failures sandwiched in-between.
Levin: May be more troubling emails from Hasan
WASHINGTON — There may be additional e-mails that could have tipped off law enforcement or military officials to the Fort Hood shooter before he went on his deadly rampage, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Friday.
The U.S. government intercepted at least 18 e-mails between Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric. They were passed along to two Joint Terrorism Task Force cells led by the FBI, but a senior defense official said no one at the Defense Department knew about the messages until after the shootings. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence procedures.
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said after a briefing from Pentagon and Army officials that his committee will investigate how those and other e-mails involving the alleged shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, were handled and why the U.S. military was not made aware of them before the Nov. 5 shooting.
Levin said his committee is focused on determining whether the Defense Department's representative on the terrorism task force acted appropriately and effectively.
Levin also said he considers Hasan's shooting spree, which killed 13 and wounded more than 30, an act of terrorism.
"There are some who are reluctant to call it terrorism but there is significant evidence that is. I'm not at all uneasy saying it sure looks like that," he said...
The Pentagon wrote regulations on "dissident and protest activities" in response to soldier participation in skinhead and other racially motivated hate groups. The current rules were written in 1996 and last updated in 2003.
The rules prohibit membership or participation in "organizations that espouse supremacist causes," seek to discriminate based on race, religion or other factors or advocate force or violence. Commanders can investigate and can discipline or fire people who "actively participate in such groups."
The rules also cover the distribution and possession of "printed materials," and gatherings held outside military posts.
The language appears to loosely cover some of the activity law enforcement sources have ascribed to Hasan...
