Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda

U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.

One senior lawmaker said the CIA had, so far, refused to brief the intelligence committees on what, if any, knowledge they had about Hasan's efforts.

CIA director Leon Panetta and the Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, have been asked by Congress "to preserve" all documents and intelligence files that relate to Hasan, according to the lawmaker.

On Sunday, Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) called for an investigation into whether the Army missed signs as to whether Hasan was an Islamic extremist.

"If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have a zero tolerance," Lieberman told Fox News Sunday.

If the CIA had any knowledge, or even suspected knowledge of this, and didn't report it to the Army those who knew and didn't report need to be severly punished.  I would favor jail time.  But it will never happen.

More BS to keep the fear and obediance level high. Amazing how EVERYBODY is connected to or related to or has tried to contact the infamous, non-existant al Qaeda. And isn't this interesting that once again like 911 where all of the government so called officials KNEW of the supposed use of planes to crash into the World Trade Center by Osama, but NO ONE DID ANYTHING TO PREPARE TO STOP THIS!!!!!  Now this guy Nasar supposedly kills all of these people (remember there were reports of three people at first)  and the CIA knew about it before hand and DID NOTHING!!!!

A hypothetical...

imagine if Obama had been given a memo, 6 weeks ago, with this man's name specifically written.  It said he may attack this base, on this particular day, he bought 2 guns and had been training for very fast firing at multiple targets.  Obama admits he had received it - in his own hand on a red eye from DC - but handed it to his nat'l security director, who then handed it to the secretary of defense.  Under oath, they all admitted physically handling the document, but never opening it or reading it.  And inexplicably, the investigation into this guy was ended shortly after the memo but before the attack.  Coincidentally, this attack bolsters obama's ability to wage and continue war.  

NOW you understand why 911 skeptics are so upset about the Aug 5 memo which could have prevented 911.  But the shit above is just a hypothetical.  In 2001, it really happened, with 911 as the result.

Bill Clinton had Osama Bin Ladens name and did NOTHING about it.They knew this man was planning attacks on the US.In fact,Clinton cut money to intel and the military.Why not blame Clinton for 911.You blame Bush for the economy?

You know Bush dropped the ball (for whatever reason) on that Aug 5 memo so you're changing the topic to clinton. 

Economy collapsed on Sept 15, 2008.  Who do ya wanna blame for that? 

Bottom line is that YES, motherfvcker, YES they should do a complete investigation into who knew what and when.  White house fought 911 investigation for 441 days, and that sucked.  Hpefully obama will be very transparent and expose what they knew and when.

You still can't criticize Bush for ignoring a hand-delivered memo on 911.  Shame.

He'll probably get a prize, commendations, a talk shoe, a book tour, international praise,  round table discussions and seminars, and a purple heart.
