(Apr. 29, 2010) — The Pentagon underthe Obama regime has refused to turn over documentation from lastNovember’s fatal shooting of 13 people, one of whom was pregnant, atFt. Hood, TX by an Islamic terrorist.
The U.S. Senate issued a subpoenadeemed “unusual” requesting information on witnessesand communications which the Pentagon is unwilling to release becauseit contends that it could imperil the investigation of Maj. NidalHassan.
According to The WashingtonPost, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee claimed
Congress is seeking information whichthe Pentagon and FBI are reluctant to release on the grounds that itmight “have a potentially negative impact” on the prosecution of thecrime, including interviews already conducted with witnesses andHasan’s personnel file. According to Collins and Lieberman,military and FBI personnel were permitted to speak with investigatorsbut not with members of their Committee.
The Committee, chaired byLieberman, began
According to a Fox News reportdated April 20, 2010, the deadline for the administration toturn over all of the requested documentation was Monday, April 26, 2010.
The information which the Pentagonwill not release is documentation ofcommunications between Hasan and Anwaral-Awlaki, a Muslim terrorist residing in Yemen. There isevidence that the two conspirators discussed the appropriateness ofjihad against U.S. military serving in Iraq as well as “innocentpeople.”
An official description on thewebsite for Ft. Hood states: “Fort Hood covers a total of 340-squaremiles and supports multiple units, a corps headquarters and a robustmobilization mission. Fort Hood also meets the training and supportrequirements for many smaller units and organizations, thus maintaininga vital defense force for the United States of America.”
However, when Hasan opened fireon November 8, 2009 on his fellow soldiers, 14 were killed, includingan unborn child. Awlaki is considered a Muslim terrorist recruiterwith whom Hasan had beenin contact as early as 2008.
Family members haveapparently reported that Hasan wanted toleave the military and had retained an attorney to assist him despitereceiving a promotion to the rank of Major during 2009, about sixmonths before the shooting.
A Pentagon spokesman stated that “Thedepartment has and continues to cooperate with Congress while ensuringthe integrity of both the administration’s own internal reviews as wellas the criminal investigation and prosecution of NidalHassan.” However, Lieberman and Collins stated that their“efforts have been met with delay, the production of little that wasnot already publicly available, and shifting reasons why thedepartments are withholding the documents and witnesses that we haverequested.”
According to a report published shortly afterthe murders, Hasan had written posts about suicide bombers, describingtheir plans to kill “enemy soldiers” as “a strategic victory.”
