The chairman of an Appropriations subcommittee wants answers from the FBI director on "potentially misleading, uninformed or incomplete" statements.

A congressional probe into the Fort Hood massacre is now directed at the top of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as questions brew over whether a senior FBI official misled lawmakers in testimony before a House Appropriations subcommittee.

 

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.), chairman of the subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science responsible for funding the FBI, had asked Director Robert Mueller to come testify at an Aug. 1 hearing on the Webster Commission report into the November 2009 shootings, but the bureau sent Mark Giuliano, the FBI’s executive assistant director for national security.

 

The trial of Army Major Nidal Hasan, accused of killing 13 at Fort Hood, is expected to begin next week. *Proceedings have been delayed by the question of whether or not the court can force him to shave his beard for trial.

In a lengthy letter to Mueller yesterday, Wolf raised concerns that Giuliano “made comments to the committee that I believe were misleading or incorrect with regard to the nature of findings in the Webster Commission report and the FBI’s understanding of Anwar Aulaqi at various points over the last decade.”

 

In all, Wolf singled out six troubling statements from the FBI official as “potentially misleading, uninformed or incomplete.”

 

(Snip)* Question: Is Nidal Hasan still a member of the US Army? If so beards are not allowed, so this should not be an issue.

Remember, this is a workplace violence, not some Islamofascist shouting allahu akbar bent on killing.

 

Even Wikipedia gets into the act:

 

"At approximately 1:34 pm local time, Hasan entered his workplace, the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, where personnel receive routine medical treatment immediately prior to and on return from deployment."

That removal should simply be a one stroke process with a sharp blade for that bastard.

Obviously yet one more case of Islamiphobia.

 

The sad thing is this whole story is now on page 34.
