Rep. Curt Weldon: I've learned some additional things that are new. You saw the Arlen Specter hearing in Judiciary that occurred in September. It's very troubling to me that it appears as though the DOD witness did not tell the truth. We had testimony that all of the Able Danger data-mining material was destroyed. I now know that that's not the case. In fact, I now know there's data still available. And I am in contact with people who are still able to data mining runs on pre-9/11 data. In those data runs that are now being done today, in spite of what DOD said, I have 13 hits on Mohammed Atta, spelled Mu and Mo. Not Mohammed Attif, not Mohammed Attel; Mohammed Atta. Thirteen times we have hits in the data that's still available, that we were told was destroyed. That was pre-9/11 data, where Mohammed Atta's name was spelled two different ways, but it was Mohammed Atta.
for the benefit of the american people, i hope everything comes out that should come out.
Good evening, Vai. Here we go again...
bttt!
I hope we can keep the headline on the sidebar. These Able Danger snippets are extremely important, and they are hardly reported anywhere else.
Yes, we all meet again. I think we need some kind of closure on this issue.
I'm sure both of you have seen this, but pinging just in case.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that this time it gets some well deserved media traction. (Note that I'm not asking anyone to hold his/her breath...)
Closure? lol right...
This baby is just getting started! I can hear the rats scraping around in the walls....
I tried to listen to some of the testimony today on C-span radio...but, I couldn't follow well, having to be in and out..
I know that the "whistleblowers" and "press shield" were words that were mentioned frequently.
Hopefully these hearings and what has preceeded it in the past half year or so will bear fruit. Washington must be jared into realizing effective change is in order to strengthen all our intel orgs..
I have to be away from the teevee tomorrow, so hoping someone will report. It will probably have to be Freepers, because the media is more concerned with the urgent matter of "how dare someone not call the media before they call the doctor if someone is shot."
Able Danger bump
I'm sure the MSM will keep pounding this Cheney crap and ignore this.
You've got that right... nothing to see here, but on the otherhand let's count how many buckshot they dig out of Cheney's "victim"!
It's also interesting how this Cheney story has helped to squelch other stories as well: The Dems disgraceful behaviour at the King funeral, Al Gore's treasonous behaviour overseas...
I want Jamie Gorelick disgraced and outed for destroying portions of this information. I want her secret clearance removed - which would keep her from holding any govt office in the future.
She did it to protect Bubba .. and she's continuing to do it to protect Hillary - who would appoint her as Attorney General - what a nightmare that would be.
