#1 The feeling I have is they did not walk in with an investigation, they HAD to walk in with a narrative. It was directed and the investigated what they were directed to do - nothing more or else and I do not blame the FBI.

I blame a higher "power". Let them go on this.

#2 You know, the thing is, they were RIGHT. If they had investigated him for radical contacts, he would have screamed and the usual suspects would have run to his defense.

#3 In Law, sometimes you just have no win. Especially when your DOJ is a stupid A-Hole.

#4 A "review" [not an investigation] called for 3 years ago by the current FBI director, handed to a former director to execute? [Anyone fired ?] Please, give me a break. Why does our gov't think we are all morons?

The FBI in San Diego had been investigating al-Awlaki, a former San Diego resident, for his possible connections to the 9/11 hijackers.
[For how long? How many intelligence reports submitted? What dissemination levels? POTUS briefed? Other potential terrorists mention in e-mails or copied in e-mails?]

High level terrorist and Hasan e-mail pal Anwar al-Awlaki was eventually killed via drone strike by the CIA correct? [Terminated, not captured or interrogated? Any legal review of US person terminated? Future wrongful death suits?] Article alleged FBI did not coordinate with Army Counrterintelligence. No mention of FBI coordination with CIA. POTUS and CIA just assumed Anwar al-Awlaki needed killin and didn't bother to talk to the Bureau or DOJ about a US person?

When the Fort Hood shooting took place, no one to include the Post Commander used the term "terrorism." Former president Bush drives to Fort Hood Hosptial to visit the wounded and is quietly told to leave. The trial for MAJ Hasan will take place when?

Not even a nice try Directors Webster and Mueller. A sixth grader could have written a more plausible explanation. This is a classic 'source operation' gone terribly bad and a very, very shameful cover up.

#5 Why does our gov't think we are all morons?

It doesn't. It just thinks a majority are morons. I'm afraid it's probably correct.

#6 It doesn't. It just thinks a majority are morons

From their perspective it doesn't matter if the majority are of limited intelligence or limited attention, the latter being more try than the former, I suspect.

#7 As Fred is fond of pointing out, by definition half our population has a two-digit IQ.

Fred is indeed fond of pointing that out. Is it true, though?
