Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the man who shot and killed 13 people and wounded 30 more at Ft. Hood yesterday was listed as having participated in the Obama transition task force, according to World Net Daily.
In a document published by the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, Hasan is listed on page 29 as having participated in an event from which the report "Thinking Anew-Security Priorities For The Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008-January 2009" was published in May of this year.
Daniel Kaniewski, deputy director of the Homeland Security Policy
Institute at George Washington University affirmed to WND in a
telephone interview this morning that the Nidal Hasan listed as
attending the meetings of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force
was the same person as the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood massacre.
"Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor," Hasan said about
America before he and possibly other Muslim soldiers at Fort Hood shot
43 fellow soldiers, killing 12, who were returning from Iraq and
Afghanistan.
"He said Muslims had a right to attack" the U.S., said Col.
Terry Lee, who worked with Hasan at the Texas post, where the devout
Sunni Muslim refused deployment. "He said Muslims shouldn't be fighting
Muslims," he added. "He was very clear on that."
According to an explosive new book, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the
Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," Hasan is just the tip of a jihadist Fifth Column operating within the ranks of the U.S. military- which is too blinded by political correctness to see the threat. [WorldNet Daily]
The Huffington Post confirms via George Washington University that WND's claims are grossly overstated.
"[Hasan] has no role on the task force, other than the fact that he
attended these meetings as an audience member, as did hundreds of
others." Hasan's name appears on the list of participants only because
he provided the HSPI with an RSVP, indicating his attendance. [GWU director of HSPI Frank] Cilluffo
told me, "We always record RSVPs and publish them as a matter of
transparency, and will continue to do so."
Hasan is not connected in any way to George Washington University or the HSPI, University officials have said. WorldNet Daily is the main source for the stories regarding the Obama birth certificate issue.
