"Yikes! I Might Be...Militia!"
Incredibly, it appears that Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, the alleged shooter in the massacre that resulted in at least 12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood today, served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force between April 2008 and January 2009 when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the nation’s 44th president.
Major Hasan’s name appears on the page numbered 29 (page 32 of the pdf) of the document, Thinking Anew — Security Priorities for the Next Administration.
Founded in 2003, The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) is, according to the “About Us” page on its web site, a nonpartisan “think and do” tank whose mission is to build bridges between theory and practice to advance homeland security through an interdisciplinary approach.
What does it mean? Perhaps, nothing.

Incredible, yes. This is a lie made up by Jerome Corsi. Nidal attended public meetings that led to a report that had nothing whatsoever to do with the Obama transition. How could it? It started in April 2008, long before he was even the nominee.

I made no claim that he was close to Obama. Just reported the facts — and did not know Corsi had even covered it. How could he have made it up? Nadal’s name is printed in the document?. ???

Thanks Bob,
I cross posted this on my Blog.

Why should a terrorist in our military be any less tolerable than the Marxist currently in our White House? I am reminded of a quote in Hussein’s book, ‘The Audacity of Hope’: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Political correctness will get us all killed.

This is completely false — that document, if you read it, says that he advised a non-profit think tank on what the next administration should do, not that he was in any way associated with President Obama’s transition. The fact that the non-profit think-tank meet from April 2008 should have clued you in that this was not the official transition.

I never said he was part of the Department of Homeland Security transition team. READ THE POST!
