Glad to see someone else come forward.
(in a sleazy office in Harlem:)
WJC/X42: "Get me my contact at DOD! I thought we already had this story *&*^-canned. And conference in the NYT..."
This guy is a career officer. I think I heard 22 years. I can not imagine him having anything to gain and nothing to lose by lying. In fact he has everything to lose.
Off topic, just catching the President on FOX. Is it me or does he not look good. I can't put my finger on it.
These guys are going to be in a Catch 22 situation. If they retained documents to show the truth of their claims, they are in violation of some federal law.
Of course if they didn't, everything is going to disappear, and make them look like liars. Remember Gary Aldrich, the FBI Agent who wrote "Unlimited Access" ?
I hope, but I have little faith, that this investigation will stop being about who is to blame and (conversely) protection of political position. The Democrats have thrived on idiotic claims like'Bush Knew', and many Republicans want nothing more than an excuse to bury the Clintons. The result has been a particsan political battle that is not properly focused.
This should be about:
(1)An honest assessment of what went wrong, and
(2)how do we avoid those same mistakes in the future?
It seems that all the radio talk shows, and most of the posts here on FR, want to focus on blaming Gorelick and Clinton and Reno. All people whom I think should be properly ashamed of themselves, but finding someone to blame is not going to bring back the lost souls of 9-11.
Identify REAL problems, and FIX them - that is the debt we owe the dead.
JoHn Poederhotz from teh NY Post, looks like a complete idiot. He was one of the wobbly conservatives who not only didnt believe Able Danger's claims, but wanted to apologize to the 9-11 comission
