***SHOCKING CONNECTION?*** Ft. Hood Shooter Involved With Obama Transisiton Team?

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the man who shot and killed 13 people and wounded 30 more at Ft. Hood yesterday was listed as having participated in the Obama transition task force, according to World Net Daily.

In a document published by the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, Hasan is listed on page 29 as having participated in an event from which the report "Thinking Anew-Security Priorities For The Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008-January 2009" was published in May of this year. 

Daniel Kaniewski, deputy director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University affirmed to WND in a telephone interview this morning that the Nidal Hasan listed as attending the meetings of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force was the same person as the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood massacre.

"Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor," Hasan said about America before he and possibly other Muslim soldiers at Fort Hood shot 43 fellow soldiers, killing 12, who were returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

"He said Muslims had a right to attack" the U.S., said Col. Terry Lee, who worked with Hasan at the Texas post, where the devout Sunni Muslim refused deployment. "He said Muslims shouldn't be fighting Muslims," he added. "He was very clear on that."

According to an explosive new book, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," Hasan is just the tip of a jihadist Fifth Column operating within the ranks of the U.S. military- which is too blinded by political correctness to see the threat.

The Huffington Post confirms via George Washington University that WND's claims are grossly overstated.

"[Hasan] has no role on the task force, other than the fact that he attended these meetings as an audience member, as did hundreds of others." Hasan's name appears on the list of participants only because he provided the HSPI with an RSVP, indicating his attendance. [GWU director of HSPI Frank] Cilluffo told me, "We always record RSVPs and publish them as a matter of transparency, and will continue to do so."

Hasan is not connected in any way to George Washington University or the HSPI, University officials have said.  WorldNet Daily is the main source for the stories regarding the Obama birth certificate issue.

Gee, What a stretch by Worldnet and others.
I once attended a P.T.A. meeting for my child, and signed the attendance roster. Wowie, I am now an advisor to the State board of education. Man am I important. I will bet you that Nut Hasan voted for Obama.
There another connection found! Also Since Obama is Commander in Chief, That makes Hasan his Employee! Now only Jerome Corsi could put this together. Gimme a break from the Right Wing nuts.
