NYT: He did it because he was Harrassed about being Muslim.

[del]

In the Context in which they Chose to Run that Headline, within 24 Hours of the Attack, having the Information they had that wasn't just Unproven Hearsay, yet Choosing to Ignore it in Favor of, "He was Harrassed" Above the Fold, they were Certainly Looking to Excuse Islam... I don't Think they Care about him...

They don't want this to be about Islam, and it Shows almost EVERY Day in their Papers and has since Shortly after 9/11.

Who is "they" ???

I think "they" are the same people that don't blame Christianity for abortion clinic bombers.

Seems theres lots coming out about Nidal now.

There were plenty of red flags about Nidal and according to the news accounts plenty of his co-workers were suspicious of what he was saying. Apparantly most wouldn't go to their supervisors because as Gates stated. We must protect the Diversity in our military. PC strikes again. Also heard the FBI was concerned about who he was contacting on his computer. Like his former Iman who now resides in Yemen. Lots to look into about this guy.

If true then our military and the FBI has a lots to answer for.

Irony would be if this was DC after the muslim apologists whined about their being persecuted for their "religion", and after Iran got the bomb and lost one....ooops....

So why would the Army not only retain him, but promote and plan to deploy him to Afghanistan? That makes no sense at all.

I read this morning that the FBI claims his emails were consistent with a research project he was doing on PTSD and contained nothing threatening...this exchange apparently happened back in December.

Hopefully we will get to see the contents of those emails.

You wouldn't happen to have Link, would you?...

Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan came under scrutiny by officials beginning last year for communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, who had been a scholar at a mosque Hasan attended when he lived in Virginia. The Virginia mosque where al-Awlaki taught had also been visited by 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Hani Hanjour.

Officials determined that the communications were benign and contained no threat. Based on the review, the FBI did not have enough information to open a full-field investigation, according to investigative officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Officials briefed on the case said that an individual overseas was being monitored when authorities recognized that Hasan had contacted the scholar. The FBI notified two of the bureau's Joint Terrorism Task Force offices, which pursued the leads on Hasan.

"We don't have any indication that he was directed, we don't have any indication that there were co-conspirators but, once again, this is fairly early on in what may be a complex and long-term investigation," a senior investigative official said.

Hasan and al-Awlaki communicated 10 to 20 times -- mostly by e-mail -- from December 2008 to some time this year, according to senior investigative officials.

"There was no indication that Maj. Hasan was planning an attack anywhere ... or that he was directed to do anything," the senior investigative official said.

According to an investigative official briefed on the case, "The Department of Defense was involved through the Joint Terrorism Task Force."

The FBI said in a statement Monday night, "At this point, there is no information to indicate Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan had any co-conspirators or was part of a broader terrorist plot. The content of the communications was explainable by his research and nothing else was found."


The communications, reviewed by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, appeared to be part of Hasan's research he conducted at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

"There was some social ... some religious guidance," according to one senior official briefed on the inquiry," the senior invesigative official said.

"The general tenor of the communications were fairly benign and did comport with a research project that he was doing that was sanctioned by Walter Reed," a different senior investigative official briefed on the case said.

Major Hasan came to the attention of the FBI in December 2008 as part of an unrelated investigation being conducted by one of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). JTTFs are FBI-led, multi-agency teams made up of FBI agents, other federal investigators—including those from the Department of Defense—and state and local law enforcement officers.

Investigators on the JTTF reviewed certain communications between Major Hasan and the subject of that investigation and assessed that the content of those communications was consistent with research being conducted by Major Hasan in his position as a psychiatrist at the Walter Reed Medical Center. Because the content of the communications was explainable by his research and nothing else derogatory was found, the JTTF concluded that Major Hasan was not involved in terrorist activities or terrorist planning. Other communications of which the FBI was aware were similar to the ones reviewed by the JTTF.

Thanks for the Link, Emma... It will all Play out... And I am Sure each and Every Agency in Government that had any 411 on Hasan is in FULL CYA MODE...

A consensus seems to have formed here at The Atlantic that the Ft. Hood massacre means not very much at all. Megan McArdle writes that "there is absolutely no political lesson to be learned from this." James Fallows says: "The shootings never mean anything. Forty years later, what did the Charles Whitman massacre 'mean'? A decade later, do we 'know' anything about Columbine?" And the Atlantic Wire has already investigated the motivation for the shooting, and released its preliminary findings. Of Nidal Malik Hasan, the Wire states: "A 39-year-old Army psychiatrist, he appears to have not been motivated by his Muslim religion, his Palestinian heritage (he is American by nationality), or any related political causes."

When Muslims Commit Violence - Jeffrey Goldberg

Looks like mal was right. The Press and the the President "Nothing here folks. Move along now" Unbelievable. How do these people sleep at night?

What, are you upset they're not stirring up anti-Muslim hatred?

What is upsetting is: this gov seems more concerned with eliminating citizens' rights and protections than dealing with our true enemies: extremists.

If this had been a member of the KKK, the press would be demanding to know which sect the shooter belonged to and persecute all involved, even if they did not encourage 'actual violence', If they found out that he listened to a conservative talk show, they would be demanding the host be taken off the air for inciting 'hate'.

Because the shooter was a 'practicing muslim', there is an effort to downplay that relationship. DeNile is not just a river. The libs wanted Bush to link the dots; demand the same from this admin. Stop the extremism, no matter where it originates.

That would probably disqualify most Americans, who are really ordinary people with priorities in family and day to day life. It would disqualify those who look the other way at the homeless or object to welfare and healthcare reform....Phew...well, that expands the population a little....except....there are many religions who put their duty to God before citizenship...and for the most part, if they follow the main broad tenants of their faith (Christian, Muslim, Jewish) they are better citizens for it.

When you take your oath of service, you become a member of the armed service. I'd like to hear you debate your commanders with that argument. The point is that muslims can't be trusted to keep their oath. Other Americans can. Its that simple. One group can be trusted, the other group can't.

A real American would NEVER kill fellow patriotic Americans.

Only muslims could commit mass murder of unarmed patriotic citizen-soldiers. That you don't understand what patriotism is makes me wonder if you're in some kind of asylum, or a green carder.

I'm waiting for you to admit that muslim "infiltrators" like Akbar who threw a grenade into his command post should not be in the military without some additional proof of sincerity, like periodic lie detector tests.

I'm not sure what you are saying here.....how would you know they are muslim "infiltrators"? Or are you saying all Muslims should be given lie detector tests?
Your definition has decimated the population of Real Americans to a handful of lunatics.

Just the opposite. By weeding out the two-faced liars we can have military units with more cohesion and know that their buddies won't shoot them in the back.

Since the extremists muslims feel no obligation to be honest with non-believers, this would be one way to sort them out, it might be a good way to catch non-muslim wackos as well.
