U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

First off, this should finally put the "Islamic Extremist?" question to rest. Many of us on here have known and arrived at the aforementioned conclusion through basic knowledge and analysis, but others have remained extremely skeptical, or quite possibly naive in regards to such. Hopefully this will help to confirm the reality of this attack for those of you who find yourself in the latter categories.
Second, the same Imam from the radical Dar Al-Hijrah mosque who we all examined in a previous thread on ATS, is back in the mix already praising Hassan and his actions.
In conclusion, I believe that we can now say without much of any doubt whatsoever, that the Ft. Hood attack was an act of Terrorism, and that it was also along the same line of Islamic Extremism which lead to 9/11, and any number of other attacks upon the United States and its allies over the past 30+ years.

sure...chalk this one up to more CIA/Government incompetence.
Do you guys REALLY think that if the CIA knew an Army Major of the United States Military was in connection with Al Qaeda that they would just conveniently forget to tell them??? And not arrest this guy for questioning at that??
This story stinks from all possible angles and the MSM is as usual, complicit in distorting the truth about what really happened on that day.
For those of you that believe this story as it is being presented on your television sets, I have a work at home job offer for you starting at $35 an hour.

Hah, I knew they were going to throw the "Al Qaeda" card as soon as I heard the guys name, took them a little bit this time though.
I don't know though, something tells me this guy might just be a scapegoat for something someone else did. With the CIA and MSM jumping on it quick, and knowing the track record of both lying, I tend to take them as just a "little" untrustworthy as to this situation. Kinda seems like an excuse to keep pushing "The War on Terror."

I don't understand the sticking the head in sand mentality of some here. It's becoming more and more obvious that this guy (Hasan) was not just a wacko.
He spouted radical Islamist thoughts, attended a Mosque with a very radical Iman, tried to contact A.Q. yet our President tells us not to jump to conclusions. If he acts like a duck, has a duck religious leader and tries to contact ducks.....guess what, he's a DUCK!
Exactly what conclusion are we to come to with the evidence provided?

Because common Americans can't see muslims as anything other than victims. Victim mentality. We don't understand them so they must be less than us. That's our flaw and doesn't allow us to open our eyes and see the truth.

I live a few miles away from New York City. Where do you reside, good sir? The last thing I'm afraid of is some jihadist running into my home and killing me
No one is sticking up for someone that allegedly murdered a bunch of people. Most folk with common sense just realize that the government and their mouthpiece the MSM are a bunch of liars. There are reasons why the "official story" differs vastly from the information that was being leaked out the day of the shootings. But believe what you will, but I have had enough of swallowing the excrement coming from this government's orifices.

First off, I never said the guy was innocent and a "poor muslim" so stop projecting yourself on me. Secondly, i'm just pointing out that we should keep an open mind is all, it's always the close minded that get tricked or led like sheep the easiest.
For all we know though this guy could be an undercover CIA agent purposely acting the way he has to further the "War on Terror" agenda. It wouldn't be unheard of, just saying not to take this at face value.

What are we supposed to view muslims as? Brown skinned murderers waiting to kill all of us at a moment's notice??
Do you sympathize with right wing extremists, sir?
