The Washington Post<\/a> reports that the lights might be coming on in the Capitol Building finally as Democrat Senator Carl Levin admits that the Fort hood massacre might have been terrorism;<\/p>\n

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) said Friday that he would investigate the handling of the e-mails — 18 or 19 in all — and why military officials were not aware of them before the deadly attack. Levin told reporters after a briefing from Pentagon staff members that “there are some who are reluctant to call it terrorism, but there is significant evidence that it is.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The emails to which Levin refers are the growing number of messages that Hasan sent to Yemeni radical cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi which we were told were few and called innocuous. The opposite is becoming apparent;<\/p>\n

“He [Hasan] clearly became more radicalized toward the end, and was having discussions related to the transfer of money and finances . . .,” said the source, who spoke at length in part because he was concerned the public accounting of the events has been incomplete. “It became very clear toward the end of those e-mails he was interested in taking action.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So basically, the FBI, and DoD just ignored the evidence before AND AFTER the shootings;<\/p>\n

The sources said the e-mail correspondence is particularly troubling because Aulaqi, who has been on the law enforcement radar for years, is considered by U.S. officials to be an al-Qaeda supporter who has inspired terrorism suspects in Britain, Canada and the United States. Lawmakers and counterterrorism experts have questioned why no one in the government interceded earlier given Aulaqi’s history and Hasan’s military position.<\/p>\n

The disclosures came as investigators in the FBI and the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division continue to interview witnesses and execute search warrants in and around the Army’s largest post, in Killeen, Tex., and elsewhere. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elsewhere, indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
