  LA Times admits the obvious. . .

  Fort Hood suspect's contact with cleric spelled trouble, experts say

  Reporting from Washington - The radical cleric contacted by accused Ft. Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan has such unmistakable connections to past terrorist plots that his e-mail exchanges with the American should have triggered an all-out investigation, a number of officials and experts now believe.
  
  Anwar al Awlaki is an extremist whose sermons have helped radicalize terrorists from Atlanta to New Jersey to London, including cases in which the U.S. military was targeted. A well-spoken Yemeni American, Awlaki has emerged as the leading ideologue for a homegrown generation of young militants who conspire over the Internet.
  
  The fact that Hasan -- the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Ft. Hood, Texas, a week ago -- exchanged e-mails with Awlaki in Yemen should have raised grave concern, U.S. officials said.

  In a society that has become uber 'PC' and wanting to learn from it's terrible mistakes of internment camps for US citizens .......this is a difficult call.

  Hindsight is always an easy POV to pick apart.

  perhaps sticking up for him was a poor choice of words. What i meant was, nobody would be saying "Oh he has ptsd, poor guy, etc."

  They found a copy of Glenn Beck's new book in his apartment and his radio was dialed into the local AM talk radio station where they play Rush every weekday. We all know what really drove him to this. It wasn't "Allahu Ackbar!" It was "appoint a media czar!

  The tradition of knowing your enemy went out the window, when w bush came in the door. It's why the usa is losing the war on whoever it's fighting.

  "Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Fort Hood gunman, had been in recent contact
  with a radical imam said to have been a "spiritual adviser" to two of the
  September 11 hijackers.

  "They were investigated but it was decided that they did not require following
  up. The disclosure will open US authorities to criticism that they failed to
  recognise warning signs about Hasan, and fuel fears that he was in contact with
  other extremists abroad prior to the shootings.

  "The communications, believed to be emails, between Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki,
  who is in Yemen, were sent over the last two years and had been intercepted by
  US intelligence agencies."

  A variety of people knew some things and tried to talk to him direcctly.

  "But, more recently, federal agents grew suspicious.

  "At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement
  officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats,
  including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on
  a grenade to save the lives of their comrades."
