In the case of Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, alleged murderer of 13 people at Fort Hood, there were 18 red flags from December 2008 through June 2009.
From FOX News:
The Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people in the Fort Hood massacre told a radical Muslim imam, "I can't wait to join you" in the afterlife, in one of several e-mails exchanged between the two men, ABC News reported on Thursday.
An unnamed official "with top secret access" told the network 18 e-mails were exchanged between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki, who encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Iraq, from Dec. 2008 until June of this year.
Other e-mails, the official said, included discussion of when jihad is considered "appropriate," and if it is acceptable for innocent people to die in suicide attacks.
"Hasan told Awlaki he couldn't wait to join him in the discussions they would having over non-alcoholic wine in the afterlife," ABC quoted the official as saying.
Hasan — with an annual salary around $92,000 — also wrote, "My strength is my financial capabilities," the source said. Investigators have found the Army major donated as much as $30,000 per year to Islamic "charities." American authorities have found several such charities to be conduits to terrorist networks.
A military analyst told ABC: "It sounds like code words ... That he's actually either offering himself up or that he's already crossed that line in his own mind."
A joint terrorism task force overseen by the FBI learned late last year of Hasan's repeated contact with al-Awlaki. The FBI said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to superiors because it concluded he wasn't linked to terrorism.
...Investigators have said e-mails between Hasan and the imam did not advocate or threaten violence. After the shootings, al-Awlaki's Web site praised Hasan as a hero.
This is nuts!
"The FBI said the task force did not refer early information about Hasan to superiors because it concluded he wasn't linked to terrorism."
Hasan was talking to this radical Muslim imam on a regular basis. Anwar al-Awlaki "encouraged Muslims to kill U.S. troops in Iraq."
Hasan contributed to charities supporting terrorist organizations.
It was ridiculous for the FBI to conclude that Hasan wasn't linked to terrorism.
When Hasan killed 13 people and gunned down dozens at Fort Hood, he carried out a terrorist attack against the U.S. He was acting as a soldier in a war.
This U.S. Army major wasn't fighting on our side.
Hasan is the enemy.
