lawyers representing the family members of those killed and injured in the Ft. Hood shooting rampage were outraged today when an Army judge limited prosecutors from introducing evidence, including emails to a known Al Qaeda operative, that would establish accused shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan’s “jihadi” motives. The judge’s rulings could inhibit the ability of the victims’ families to claim in a civil suit that the shootings were an act of terror. This would match what the Obama administration has made its goal, for some reason, since the time of the attack. Federal lawyers involved in the civil suit claim that the people shot during Hasan’s murderous rage were victims of workplace violence, a designation that could sharply limit the damages in a civil suit. The war on terror was started on American soil, via the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and there are no clearly drawn front lines as the terrorist networks work as cells in almost every nation, yet the Obama Administration wants to draw lines in this case, as evidenced with their terminology of the shooting as “workplace violence.” “This is first degree mass murder case and motive is absolutely relevant to prove premeditation,” said Neal Sher, a lawyer representing many of the victims and their family members in a separate civil suit against the government.
