Just yesterday, the chairman and ranking Republican of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee alleged that the Obama administration is covering up important details in the Fort Hood shooting case concerning communications relating to Maj. Nidal Hasan the accused shooter. Maj. Hasan is charged with killing 13 military personnel stationed at Fort Hood. The official White House story is that Maj. Hasan was inspired to commit the act after communicating with Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen living in Yemen.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has subpoenaed the Obama administration for the documents relating to the case after having been previously denied access to them.
The Defense and Justice departments say that release of the disputed data would compromise the prosecution of Maj. Nidal Hasan, the disgruntled Army doctor charged with killing 13 people. AP
This is a remarkable position for the DoJ to take on this. The Obama administration has recently added al-Awlaki’s name to the “to be killed” section of their TO DO list. The ”Change” administration issued what amounts to a contract on Awlaki’s life, partly because of his alleged contribution in the Fort Hood shooting.
Forgotten in all of this are the early reports that came out right after the shooting occurred in which administration officials reported that they had been aware of Maj. Hasan’s communications with Awlaki and that he was making them on behalf of Fort Hood in accordance with the work he was doing at the base.
