Fort Hood shooter was member of Homeland Security Panel advising Obama
2009-11-06
Of course. Why not? He was a "moderate." Until he wasn't.

The gunman who killed 12 people today at Ft. Hood appears, based on current media reports, to be Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan who was listed as a participant in a Homeland Security Policy Institute's presidential transition task force last year.
The task force was not officially affiliated with the White House. It was a project of the Homeland Security Policy Institute, an independent thinktank housed at George Washington University, aimed at drafting policy recommendations for the incoming Obama administration.

According to the task force's May 2009 report [pdf], a "Nidal Hasan" from the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine was a task force event participant.

#7  Hassan is not and has never been a member of any White House Panel and was just an attendee. Whatadeal apparently jumps at every "Boo" and believes whatever someone tells him without doing any vefification. Let me see - "Whatadeal, you are an idiot." He now believes that.

#6  I must apologize, earlier I asked the question, "Why isn't a nut muslim like Nidal Hasan a Whitehouse adviser?" Now I learn that he is on a Whitehouse adviser panel!

How can the O find so many nuts and communists running around? I suppose his bullsh_t detector has a vitamin deficiency or was burned out by drugs.

#5  Gee, I wonder if Teh One learned anything from this?

Yes, next time get a Muslim advisor who understands that Cap & Trade (for instance) hurts USA worse than the deaths of 13000 soldiers.

#1  Makes sense to me. If you need a warm body to fill a seat at something useless, might as well send somebody who isn't being useful at something else.
