Conservative Wing Nut claims Fort Hood Shooter advised Obama

This guy is bat shit crazy.

Jerome Corsi of World Net Daily recently released an article stating that the Fort Hood shooter Maj. Malik Hasan had advised President Obama during his transition to power.

This, of course, is nothing short of a lie.

Corsi's sole piece of evidence for this is a document from May 19, 2009 by the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute. In this document, Hasan is listed on Page 29...as a "Task Force Event Participant".

He was one of hundreds listed as "participant" and apparently did not do much participating. He sat in the audience. It's kind of like little league, everyone gets a trophy.

Nidal was not the author of the document. He was not a member of the HSPI's "Presidential Transition Task Force." Nor was he a member of the HSPI's "Task Force Staff." He was not a member of the HSPI's Steering Committee or a briefer to the task force.
