What thorough and painfully stupid lies from WND’s Jerome Corsi. This idiot says Maj. Hasan “played a homeland security advisory role in President Barack Obama’s transition into the White House, according to a key university policy institute document.” Actually — you know what, I’m going to basically retweet what I wrote for the Windy to save time:

Wrong! So thoroughly, thoroughly wrong!

That GWU document no more “advised” the Obama transition as did the flurry of think-tank documents and advisory strategies put out by endless interest groups. It had, and therefore Hasan had, absolutely no connection to the Obama administration. Here, for instance, is a story I wrote in November about one such strategy “advisory” paper prepared by the civil liberties community for the Obama transition about counterterrorism strategies. Really, this is as stupid as saying that a guy who writes a letter to The New York Times “advised” editor Bill Keller.

Danger Room’s Noah Shachtman posts the accurate version of this claim:

In May — a few weeks after his pro-bomber post — he participated in attended a meeting of the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force.

Not even Doug Feith would consider this a “connection” to Obama. Media Matters has oh so much more on this front. But I wonder how long it’ll take before this easily disproven lie makes its way to talk radio and Fox News and Republican congressmen.

Update: Thanks to Annie Lowrey and Jason Linkins, there is now literally nothing left of Corsi’s bullshit report.
