Ok, Dick. I'll take a shot at the 20 points.
This first item in your OP refers to the fact that Holder chose not to charge Hasan with domestic terrorism despite proven communications and ties with an Al Qaeda leader. Meanwhile at the same time back in 2009 the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) issued a report indicating that Libertarians (particularly followers of Ron Paul, Barr, and Baldwin) should be viewed as potential domestic terrorists/militia members.
Had the decisions/conclusions regarding the two separate and unrelated issues of Hasan's charges and Libertarian classifications come from the same source, it would be thoroughly hypocritical and more disturbing, imo. As it stands, two unrelated topics, imo.
FWIW, I believe that Hasan should be charged with domestic terrorism, based on the publicly released evidence to date - particularly his many communications with al-Awlaki prior to the attack, and I disagree with the MIAC report conclusions regarding Libertarians (ridiculous).
