    What do YOU think?

    Is the media scraping the barrel? or delivering you news?

    I was just sent a video that a network aired (and I don't know if only one network did or if everybody did) and called it exclusive. Really, exclusive?   It shows the Fort Hood killer in an audience  (the network put that oval light on him!) at a big event (last January at George Washington University...Homeland Security Policy Institute.)

    Is this video (see screen grab below) newsworthy to you or the media scraping the barrel for news? What do you think?

Patience Greta. Baby Steps. At least it is apparently TRUE that Hasan was there. Truth from the Lame Stream Media (thanks Bernie!) is a rare thing indeed. I feel sorry for Keith Olberman's camera man next week. The spittle will really be flying. Remember now, the Bush administration had EIGHT YEARS to do something about Hasan and did NOTHING! Obama was handed this mess. If we had Universal Healtcare, the government doctors would have prevented this. HR3200 v2 Prozac in all potable water NOW!

Yes, it definitely is newsworthy. We want to know what made this murderer kill 13 people. Why was he invited to this event? Why did they continue to let him counsel when he was under scrutiny? Why are people giving him an excuse? He is a cold blooded, calculating MURDERER!

Wow, can't any of you people actually read? The event was at George Washington University, not the Dept. of Homeland Security. Also, the crazy postings were never actually traced to him, and in any case, they were *after* this GWU event. Get a grip.

If the picture is indeed the murderer (some wrongly call him the "suspect") at a Homeland Security Event, then it is indeed newsworthy, and really reports a novel of information regarding our Federal Government. With the murderer's postings on the internet threatening jihad, how can he be overlooked? Where IS our Homeland Security?? Letting jihadists in on an important event? Americans are outraged. God Bless the U.S.A. This murderer should now be stoned to death.Isn't this the islamic way?

Obama doesn't want us to jump to any conclusions about the shooter at fort hood but when it came to the white policeman arresting that black professor, he immediately jumped in with his big mouth and had a lot to say. There are a lot more of these kind of people infiltrated in to all kinds of our government and we do nothing about it. This country has become so complacent it scares the hell out of me. Wake up America before it is too late.

I have felt that the armed services was my saftey net between me & the bad guys. This was so appaling yesterday, that I cried. In todays papers,they are are saying he had lots of warning signs that people saw, & are talking about, but the Army didn't pick up on I guess? Don't think they will tell us the truth of what they do know anyway,It will just make them look bad. God Bless all the MURDERED Soldiers & the injured ones. I will pray for all of them.

But Greta, you might have a good long look at those surrounding Obama today. I mean to say, look into a few of their backgrounds, if you do, you might just wonder, Gee where was the vetting on a few of these people advising our new President? Why just look at the far-left groups they were a part of, or didn't the Video's easy to find on you-tube of them praising Mao the philosopher they most ofter look to for guidance or others such as Chavez or Castro...claiming on VIDEO that Chavez had one of the most peaceful, democratic take overs of total power in history? I don't know, let the voters decide!

How does a Muslim praising Islam and talking about his hatred of America get into a homeland security event? Bet if the general public wanted to go to that event they wouldn't have been allowed on nat'l security grounds. Is there no one in this administration who knows what they are doing? It sure doesn't seem like it.

Not sure what to think about this. How do they know it's truly him? Where did they obtain this photo? I'm wondering if he was on medication for anxiety or depression due to him not wanting to go to Iraq. Brain altering meds are very powerful and depending on the person taking them, they can help or be harmful.

This video is very newsworthy Greta. It shows he was involved with Homeland Security. Can't DHS research people who "protect" us?
