Richard Esposito, Mary-Rose Abraham and Rhonda Schwartz of ABC's "The Blotter" have a fresh post up on ABCNews.com about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's ties to jihadi groups. It's a fascinating read.

Esposito and his colleagues report that:

  • Hasan printed personal business cards emblazoned with "SoA(SWT)" which stands for: "Soldier of Allah: Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala [Glory to God].
  • "On Hasan's official Army personnel record, obtained by ABCNews.com., Hasan lists his e-mail address using the first name of Abduwall, instead of Nidal. Abduwalli, in Arabic, means "slave of" the great protector, or God"
  • "U.S. officials and analysts told ABCNews.com today that Hasan used multiple e-mail addresses and screen names as he contacted several jihadist web sites around the world."

The bottom line?:

"He was making no secret of allegiances," said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, an ABC News consultant.

This guy is an extreemist.  But this administration would rather lable me as one then this dirt bag.  He needs to go meet his virgins.

Wants us to believe that BHO just walked up to a 6'7" man in a leather jacket (who just happened to be a reporter) at Arlington cemetary and there was no vetting and secret service check of this man who claims it was not a photo OP (like hell)  after Ft Hood no one gets near BHO by accident.  What a CROCK.

The Investigation of this nutjob should center

November 12, 2009 - 19:46 ET by ahusser

around why, when his extremist statements were apparently public and known to others, he was not investigated. I think PC killed those folks at Ft. Hood. Wouldn't want to offend anyone would we? Shows the bureaucratic mind at work. CYA, Not my job, don't want to profile anyone could be too much heat from the special interest nutjob groups etc etc.

Now how many of y'all are for leaving these people in our country?  You think they'll assimilate?  You think they want to become American?  Every last one of 'em needs to be run out, nits turn into lice.  Every single one needs to go. 

How many of y'all are tired of being told it's only a few messing it up for all?  Hell, they all think like this.  Pathetic that we leave them here.
