>> How so? There is no evidence that Hasan was in any way involved in any sort of plot. An extremist Muslim who attacks and kills soldiers on a military base after having had contact with members of AQ, and you assume there was no "plot". AQ isn't about "plots". It is about killing Americans. Nothing else. They don't care whether it is done through a series of Muslim fanatics or through a coordinated 9/11-styled attack or a series of each. That's what you don't get. It is the reason the "cellular" nature of AQ was so important. It is the reason suicide operations are so important. >>> While he did try to contact al Qaeda members, there is no evidence that they ever took him seriously. Except he WAS responded to some number of times. It is interesting that an hour ago you were denying the contacts took place and now you're an expert on the subject. It is your MO.
