Not only was the imam to the 911 Muslim terrorists, Anwar Awlaki, the go-to imam whom the media went to for all things Islam, having dinner at the Pentagon, he was lunching there as well. Devout Muslim Awlaki also provided succor and Islamic spiritual guidance to the Fort Hood jihadi, the Christmas balls bomber, and the Times Square deadly car bomber — and that's what we know of.
Who is the lawyer that let an Al-Qaeda terrorist into the Pentagon? The answer to this question should be in the FOIA request I made to the Department of Justice months ago, which they are, of course, stalling on.
J. Christian Adams over at PJM:
ADVERTISEMENTFox News has this blockbuster story on American Al-Qaeda Imam being invited to a lunch in 2002 inside the Pentagon. Despite ties to three of the 9-11 hijackers, and arrests for soliciting a prostitute, the Pentagon’s office of general counsel found Anwar al-Awlaki a suitable person to make a presentation to top brass on Islam and Middle East culture.
The story notes:
A former high-ranking FBI agent told Fox News that at the time Awlaki went to lunch at the Pentagon, there was tremendous “arrogance” about the vetting process at the Pentagon.
“They vetted people politically and showed indifference toward security and intelligence advice of others,” the former agent said.
But one single person seems to be responsible for this mess, a female lawyer in the Office of General Counsel who was responsible for vetting al-Awlaki:
ADVERTISEMENTThe Defense Department lawyer who vetted the imam wrote that she “had the privilege of hearing one of Mr. Awlaki’s presentations in November and was impressed by both the extent of his knowledge and by how he communicated that information and handled a hostile element in the audience.”
The story does not reveal the identity of the culpable lawyer. If ever there was a time for accountability, this is it.
