Disclosures Pried From Gov't Strongly Suggest Terrorist Awlaki Was an Informant
2014-10-03
BLUF
[PJ Media] The new information corroborates my suggestion here two years ago that, in letting Awlaki go rather than arresting him on the pending fraud charge, the government was “acting on the misguided hope of using him as an informant.” This is not only cause for potential embarrassment in its own right; it adds to the concerns over the circumstances of Awlaki’s death.
Fox News Catherine Herridge research tends to confirm the notion held by some, that Nadal Hasan as well as the Tsnareav brothers may have also been part of a failed intelligence recruitment effort, or an effort which had run it's course and been terminated. The potential social media linkage of the recent OK City beheader to Awlaki, and the reluctance of the Fed's to classify his acts as domestic terrorism vs 'workplace violence' may also support the Herridge theory.

#3  Was he droned zapped because he was deep into the terrorism or because he was a because of what he knew? Or both? FBI Agent Wade Ammerman probably has some info on why the warrant for Al-Awlaki's for passport fraud was ordered lifted by Ammerman on the morning of 10-2-2002.

#2  An amazing bit of coincidence:

The New York Times suggested later that al-Awlaki had claimed birth in Yemen (his family's place of origin) to qualify for scholarship money granted to foreign citizens.[61] US Congressman Frank R. Wolf (R-VA) wrote in May 2010 that it was his understanding that by doing so, al-Awlaki fraudulently obtained more than $20,000 in scholarship funds reserved for foreign students, for which he was not legally eligible.

Other interesting info found here.
