" Apart from fox this half hour more on our top story in the investigation in the last week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas. By now you've probably recognize this man doctor major need -- house on. He's the psychiatrist accused of opening fire at the army posts last Thursday he said who have killed thirteen people and wounded dozens more. Since that day we have learned a lot more about major side. The FBI reports he had emailed a radical. Muslim imam just before the attack at Fort Hood. But sources inside the bureau tell us that content of those messages was nothing that would have prompted an investigation. And there are differing reports about whether the information about the doctor -- or where wins and who knew about it. Was now Fox News contributor fellow with the conservative Manhattan institute and Pulitzer prize winning journalist Judith Miller. Who knew what -- it is very hard to figure out who knew what about doctor major and a dollar sign."
" Yes and everyone at this point has an interest in maintaining that they did not see or hear of anything. That would have led them to demand a full fledged investigation. Of major -- time. And that's the way this game is going to be played for awhile --"
" That there are a lot of facts out there to the facts lead. Would the facts lead one to the logical conclusion that that's a possibility."
" It's a possibility that. People looking at the file said nothing unusual here however the facts. I just on their face raise some questions for example we've heard. That one of the things that he was doing major -- was reaching out for quotes spiritual guidance in these emails. Well he is reaching out for spiritual guidance to an imam who had been in jail. As of last year in Yemen who had been known to counsel to of the al-Qaeda. 9/11 hijackers. Mean this in and of itself should of flagged some interest but other people said no he was actually asking. About work in connection with a research project that he was doing for Walter Reed or what kind of research project would have involved. And outreach to that kind of person so right now we just have to ask questions and understand it. A lot of information is going to be leaked it will attempt to shift the blame from agency to agency agents."
" We do know that he spoke with more than one person in front of large groups of people. About his belief that Muslims should be able to leave the army. And as conscientious objectors -- CEOs I think if they called. Just as a result of the fact that he believed Muslims should be able to rise up against the aggressors as he put it in Iraq and --"
" yes there was the famous PowerPoint presentation that he supposedly gave in which he's asked is the war on terror. Actually a war against Muslims and will be the first asset he would not be the first but being a physician in uniform. Would raise a lot of questions and in fact it did because there were several complaints apparently filed now. Question what happened to those complaints Howard they handled what was the role of the defense. Criminal investigative service representative. On the FBI task force it was looking into major -- These are all issues that the Senate is going to be looking at. In a special hearing that it's gonna hold the FBI is now doing an internal investigation into its handling of this affair. They're gonna be no end to investigations. In the days ahead."
" And you know on the very first day that this happened that evening I spoke with his cousin. And his cousin told me he had a lawyer military lawyer he was trying to do to do. To make good with the dispute that he was having at the time and -- we've heard nothing we will not hear a lot. Except what they want --"
" Exactly and that's another frustration that we as journalists have we have to understand that everything we're hearing now. Serving one bureaucratic interests or another the truth may lie. At the end of a long road of accumulated fat. We'll keep traveling that road. Help sell Judith Miller it's good to see."
