From our buddy, Aunty Brat<\/a>, comes the news that the FBI is finished investigating<\/a> the way they handled, or rather didn’t handle the Nidal Hasan investigation prior to him blasting scores of soldiers at Fort Hood nearly three years ago;<\/p>\n

Fox News reports that that the FBI was aware that Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, was in touch with Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical U.S.-born cleric who was killed by a CIA dron last August. The FBI was also aware of proclamations by Hassan that suicide bombing against Americans was justified. In fact, Hasan\u2019s statements became a problem because his fellow students at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., were so alarmed by them, that some fled the classroom.<\/p>\n

Still, in summer 2009, the FBI\u2019s JTTF decided not to interview Hasan\u2019s Army supervisors because they were concerned about hurting his career.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, because one soldier’s career is worth more than the lives of the people he ended on that morning. For the last few weeks, I’ve been knee-deep in “The Black Banners<\/a>” written by Ali Soufan, an FBI agent who was conducting the investigation of the USS Cole bombing when 9\/11 happened and he was switched to that investigation. You can see how the CIA aided the 9-11 terrorists by not sharing information and Soufan lays that right at the feet of the CIA in his book.<\/p>\n

So apparently, the FBI didn’t learn the lesson, because the biggest reason Hasan got away with, or even thought he could accomplish his bloody operation, was because no one questioned his actions and communications with al-Awlaki. Maybe if they had just asked him about it, he would have been discouraged.<\/p>\n

The whole book, The Black Banners, is about the destructive potential of compartmentalized information in the government and among our so-called allies. Yet here we are again, looking down the barrel of the same gun again.<\/p>\n

[Representative Frank Wolf (R-Virginia)] also said both the Clinton and Bush administration ignored warnings before 9\/11. \u201cI fear that now, as was then, the government is not doing enough to learn from past threats and attacks to prevent and prepare for future threats. People died in the attack on Fort Hood. We have to learn from this tragedy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The department of Homeland Security was supposed to be a pancea for that problem. WTF were they? I guess they couldn’t worry about it because it had the potential to be a workplace violence case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
