Brits, not the MSM, link Hasan to radical imam.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey said Sunday it's important for the country not to get caught up in speculation about Hasan's Muslim faith, and he has instructed his commanders to be on the lookout for anti-Muslim reaction to the killings at the Texas post. ****How about telling them to be on the lookout for other anti-American, hostile members of the military?****

Hospital: Ft. Hood shooting suspect awake, talking By ANGELA K. BROWN and PAMELA HESS, Associated Press
FORT HOOD, Texas – ...able to talk, a hospital spokesman said Monday, but it's unknown when investigators might take advantage...Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan fired off more than 100 rounds Thursday before civilian police shot him in the torso...he was in stable condition and able to talk, said Dewey Mitchell, a Brooke Army Medical Center spokesman....The personal Web site for a radical American imam living in Yemen who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers praised Hasan as a hero....Awlaki said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to "follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal." "Nidal Hassan is a hero," Awlaki said. "He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people."...Hasan's family attended the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., where Awlaki was preaching in 2001. Hasan's mother's funeral was held at the mosque on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper, around the same time two 9/11 hijackers worshipped at the mosque and while Awlaki was preaching. Awlaki is a native-born U.S. citizen who left the United States in 2002, eventually traveling to Yemen. He was released from a Yemeni jail last year and has since gone missing. He is on Yemen's most wanted militant list, according to three Yemeni security officials....The Falls Church mosque is one of the largest on the East Coast, and thousands of worshippers attend prayers and services there every week....confirmed that the Hasan family participated in services there....The London Telegraph first reported the potential link between Hasan and the mosque.****The U.S. MSM couldn't catch this one but had to follow when the Telegraph broke it.****
Sen. Joe Lieberman said Sunday he wants Congress to determine whether the shootings constitute a terrorist attack and whether warning signs that Hasan was embracing an increasingly extremist view of Islamic ideology were missed.****SOMEONE in government is going to avoid the whitewash and coverup.**** Classmates who participated in a 2007-2008 master's program at a military college told The Associated Press that they complained to faculty during the program about what they considered to be Hasan's anti-American views, which included his giving a presentation that justified suicide bombing and telling classmates that Islamic law trumped the U.S. Constitution. "If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance," Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said on "Fox News Sunday." "He should have been gone."
Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey said Sunday it's important for the country not to get caught up in speculation about Hasan's Muslim faith, and he has instructed his commanders to be on the lookout for anti-Muslim reaction to the killings at the Texas post. ****PC call, there, George.****...

Lieberman Suggests Army Shooter Was 'Home-Grown Terrorist' By BRODY MULLINS A senior U.S. senator on Sunday said the shootings at Fort Hood could have been a terrorist attack, and that he would launch a congressional investigation into whether the U.S. military could have prevented it.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut who heads the Senate's Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, said initial evidence suggested that the alleged shooter, Army Major Nidal Hasan, was a "self-radicalized, home-grown terrorist" who had turned to Islamic extremism while under personal stress...
