NEW YORK – Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter in yesterday's massacre at Fort Hood,
played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama's transition into the White House,
according to a key university policy institute document.

The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University published a document May 19,
entitled "Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the
HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009," in which Hasan of the Uniformed Services
University School of Medicine is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant.

Hasan received his medical degree from the military's Uniformed Services University School in Bethesda, Md., in 2001.

Noting that the Obama administration transition was proceeding, the GWU Homeland Security Policy Institute report
described on the first page the role of the Presidential Transition Task Force as including "representatives from past Administrations,
State government, Fortune 500 companies, academia, research institutions and non-governmental organizations with global reach."

While the GWU task force participants included several members of government, including representatives of the
Department of Justice and the U.S Department of Homeland Security, there is no indication in the document that
the group played any formal role in the official Obama transition, other than to serve in a university-based advisory capacity.
