Ft. Hood shooter was part of Obama’s Homeland Security transition team

Or maybe he wasn’t.

The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI), an entity that "creates innovative strategies and solutions to current and future threats to the nation," published a report entitled "Thinking Anew - Security Priorities for the Next Administration - Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force April 2008-January 2009" Listed in the report under the heading "Task Force Event Participants" is none other than alleged murderer, Nidal Hasan.

This self-proclaimed "think and do tank" took on an advisory role with respect to Homeland Security during the presidential transition. This means that prior to becoming a threat to Homeland Security, Hasan was a strategic advisor on Homeland Security.

This is an unfortunate turn of events for the Obama Administration as, no doubt, there will be commentators reveling in the fact that another terrorist can be linked to Obama, though it's highly doubtful the incoming President knew anything about Hasan.

The loony left blogs are correct that we should not assume that Hasan was major part of Obama’s Homeland Security Transition team.

Hasan was NOT a strategic advisor. He was one attendee of one event that Obama held to help set his Homeland Security policy.
