Nidal Hasan, the killer at Fort Hood , was on Obama's "Homeland Security Transition Team," the group responsible, as I understand it, for moving Homeland Security toward declaring former US Military members, white groups, and conservative groups as being "dangerous. Why am I not shocked? Welcome to Obama's America.

Nidal Hasan on Obama's Homeland Security transition team, Bill Ayers wrote Obama's auto-biography, his campaign took campaign contributions from Hamas, his Code Pink bundler (who tried to rush the stage at Palin's convention speech) met with the Taliban, his AG got convicted unrepetent FALN terrorists pardoned ..... this guy is really the terrorists candidate.

Here's some more info on Hasan, received from an email. I can't vouch for it but have no reason to doubt it. Here's more info on that: Here's the Institute's statement on Hasan: Homeland Security Policy Institute Statement on Nidal Hasan In his capacity as Disaster & Preventive Psychiatry Fellow at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, Nidal Hasan registered (“RSVP’d”) to attend as an audience member a number of Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) events in the period June 2008 to February 2009. All of these events were open to the public. At no time has Nidal Hasan been affiliated with HSPI or The George Washington University. HSPI Statement (pdf) More importantly, reading the first couple paragraphs of the document, it doesn't appear that the institute had any official role for the idiot in chief, er, I mean, Obuma. It appears to simply be some think tank that wants to look at problems and make recommendations, whether asked for or not. Here's what they said About the Institute Founded in 2003, The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) is a nonpartisan “think and do” tank whose mission is to build bridges between theory and practice to advance homeland security through an interdisciplinary approach. By convening domestic and international policymakers and practitioners at all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and academia, HSPI creates innovative strategies and solutions to current and future threats to the nation. The Homeland Security Policy Institute Presidential Transition Task Force* Initiated by HSPI’s Steering Committee in Spring 2008, the Task Force sought to further policy discussions of the top strategic priorities in the area of security in order to generate actionable recommendations, for the Administration taking office in January 2009, designed to effectively meet the most vexing challenges the United States faces today.
