Obama Stymies Fort Hood Jihad Investigation: Details Leak, Major Muslim Hasan told al-Qaeda recruiter, "I can't wait to join you" in the afterlife

From Atlas Shrugs:

The scary part: "Two FBI task forces, in Washington and San Diego, received the intercepted messages, but deemed them innocent." No doubt they had been trained to appreciate Muslim sensitivities and respect Islam... CAIR will be pleased.

Meanwhile President Moebama continues to stymie the investigation.

BTW, Hasan is out of ICU (your taxpayer dollars at work).

Major Hasan's E-Mail: 'I Can't Wait to Join You' in Afterlife ABC news (hat tip Hal)

American Official Says Accused Shooter Asked Radical Cleric When Is Jihad Appropriate? United States Army Major Nidal Hasan told a radical cleric considered by authorities to be an al-Qaeda recruiter, "I can't wait to join you" in the afterlife, according to an American official with top secret access to 18 e-mails exchanged between Hasan and the cleric, Anwar al Awlaki, over a six month period between Dec. 2008 and June 2009.

Intercepted e-mails deemed innocent by the FBI detail possible terror relations. "It sounds like code words," said Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a military analyst at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. "That he's actually either offering himself up or that he's already crossed that line in his own mind."

Other messages include questions, the official with access to the e-mails said, that include when is jihad appropriate, and whether it is permissible if there are innocents killed in a suicide attack. "Hasan told Awlaki he couldn't wait to join him in the discussions they would having over non-alcoholic wine in the afterlife," the official said.

Major Hasan also wrote, "My strength is my financial capabilities."
Federal investigators have found that Hasan donated $20,000 to $30,000 a year to overseas Islamic "charities."

As an Army major, his yearly salary, including housing and food allowances, was approximately $92,000. A number of Islamic charities have been identified by U.S. authorities as conduits to terror groups.
Two FBI task forces, in Washington and San Diego, received the intercepted messages, but deemed them innocent.

On Capitol Hill today, Senators questioned how that could be.
"The choice of this recipient of emails says a lot about what Hasan was looking for," said Senator Joseph Lieberman, chair of the Senate's Homeland Security committee.

Lieberman's committee held a hearing on the Fort Hood shootings, and announced that it was launching an investigation.

"What I'm getting at," said Lieberman, "Is he may have been looking for spiritual sanctions for what he's accused of ultimately doing."

The American-born Awlaki is considered a recruiter for al-Qaeda. He has been in hiding since the shooting, but a Yemeni journalist told ABC News today that the e-mails show Hasan was "almost a member of al-Qaeda."
