Anwar Awlaki was considered a well known moderate within islamic circles. the salafis (aka wahabis) saw him as a moderate by their standards.
nearly every muslim has Anwar awlaki on their computer somewhere either in the form of a lecture, news bulletin etc and is quite popular especially to the non arabic speaking muslim communities despite not having any formal islamic education studies.
because of this he became world renown and it would not have been outside the realm of possibility that he came in contact with nidal hassan through this means along with other possible terrorists.
