Terrorism. I have no doubt whatsoever that in Hasan's mind he was committing jihad. An act of war.

Considering he gave this speech to fellow physicians a few years before, I don't think there is a gray area whatsoever.



Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut


Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire.

The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

It was the latest in a series of "red flags" about his state of mind that have emerged since the massacre at Fort Hood, America's largest military installation, on Thursday.

DOD: Ft. Hood Massacre Likely 'Criminal Act of Single Individual,' Not International Terror

It took just hours for England's Prime Minister to say a gruesome knife and cleaver attack on a serviceman in London was likely an act of terrorism. In the U.S., more than three years since a much deadlier domestic assault on American troops -- the 2009 Fort Hood massacre that claimed 13 lives, including that of a pregnant soldier -- a top Army attorney maintains that incident was likely a "criminal act of a single individual." ...

Rubinstein and his partner, Neil Sher, also said calling the attack "an alleged criminal act by a single individual" "rewrites history, consigning the government's admissions of Hasan's al-Qaeda ties… down a bureaucratic memory hole."

So Hasan is screaming "Allahu Akbar," as he is gunning soldiers down, Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack. Al-Awlaki was apparently such a threat that he has been the only American citizen ever targeted for a drone strike," EVER!

Instead of calling it terrorism the administration is more worried about 'poor Hasan's judicial process as written by Chipman of the DOD:

As reflected in Chipman's letter, the Department of Defense has consistently said that in addition to a supposed lack of evidence, it would be irresponsible to call the Fort Hood attack "terrorism" because it "may have a negative impact on the ongoing judicial process" for Hasan.

Not to mention many investigators believed Hasan's communication with Al Awlaki was the reason for the attack!!!

Contacts between Hasan and a radical cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, were monitored by the government, but the joint task force did not share the correspondence with the Army. Some investigators believe those contacts are what pushed Hasan toward violence.

But it's not terrorism? It's not terrorism when the evidence is staring us in the face? WTF?

I believe the term you are questioning is "international terror". Was it "international"? An American shooting Americans in America?

 

[dilloduck]

It's our new front line of defense against terrorism--you just call it something else. Problem solved. No terrorism here or abroad on Obama's watch. He's BAD

I believe the term you are questioning is "international terror". Was it "international"? An American shooting Americans in America?

No, I'm not. Of course the first article says "international". The issue is 'work place violence' keeps being mentioned. Is there a reason it can't been deemed a terrorist act he was in communication with an international terrorist who investigators believe was the impetus for the attack. A person that the US felt was so extremely dangerous they felt the need to kill him?

Was the Boston Bombing a terrorist attack? Yes, by what the FBI deems Homegrown Violent Extremists (HVE):

HVE is considered the radicalization or mobilization of homegrown violent extremists [HVEs] in the homeland, particularly against U.S.-based military targets which HVEs have historically considered legitimate targets for retaliation in response to past alleged U.S. military actions against civilians overseas

So why can't Hasan's act being considered terrorism. International does not need to be attached, does it? The Boston bombers were American's blowing up other American's, but that is terrorism.
