A senior U.S. counter-terrorism official said Thursday night that the Army and FBI were looking into whether Hasan had previously come to the attention of federal law enforcement officials as the suspected author of inflammatory Internet comments likening suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who give their lives to save others.

not saying it hasn't been reported, just that i haven't seen it. if you have links to articles, post 'em up.

then it's not DMF official.

taunted because he was a muslim.

Yeah, That's a good reason to murder 13 of your fellow soldiers (used loosely). Scumbag Coward Officer.

by no means am i excusing his actions.

[Raux]

IMO he turned. just like the muslim chaplain at Guantanamo.

I'm sure the media will tell us shortly that the fact that he murdered 13 soldiers and his being Muslim are purely coincidental.

the media is already making him out to be a victim of racial harassment. go figure. having a true terrorist in the US would go against the media's agenda of saying there is no threat and we shouldn't be fighting against terrorism.

WASHINGTON - The alleged Fort Hood shooter apparently attended the same Virginia mosque as two Sept. 11 hijackers in 2001, at a time when a radical imam preached there.

Whether the Fort Hood shooter associated with the hijackers is something the FBI will probably look into, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The family of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 29 at the Texas military base, held his mother's funeral at the Dar al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va., on May 31, 2001, according to her obituary in the Roanoke Times newspaper.

What's the point of this?

What's the point of this?

I guess you have to ask the AP. My guess would be that it ties him to the same mosque.

What's the point of this?

It's fairly obvious if you are willing to connect the dots.

i still cannot believe they are questioning whether to call this guy a terrorist.

[Grampa]

i still cannot believe they are questioning whether to call this guy a terrorist.

Because he might not be, definitionally, a terrorist.
