9/11: Why would the Pentagon buy and destroy copies of a book by a former Army intelligence officer? Could it be perhaps because it contained information on how the 9/11 attacks might have been prevented?
The impulse to dismiss this as just another conspiracy theory is overwhelming. Yet the fact is that the Pentagon bought and destroyed 10,000 copies of a book, "Operation Dark Heart," written by Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a Bronze Star recipient and career Army intelligence officer, that contained a chapter on a pre-9/11 intelligence operation, Able Danger.
In a statement, the Pentagon said it "decided to purchase copies of the first printing because they contained information which could cause damage to national security." The books were destroyed on Sept. 20.

Information that exposes methods and means of obtaining intellegence has the obvious effect of invalidating and undermining those “methods and means”.
THAT is why it is CLASSIFIED!!!
Soooooo, do you think Bush was *in on it*?
never heard that!! What about Atta’s suitcase?
We are woefully unprepared for any type of attack on America. Israel and her deferments would be a good lesson for us, if we only had a non-muslim in the whitehouse.
never mind ...I should have read on 1st

George H. W. Bush endorsed McCain.
It’s incredible that Pres. Bush let the democrats appoint their own reps to the 9/11 investigation committee. One of the dems’ choices was...Jamie Gorelick.
Jamie Gorelick made millions on the board of Fannie Mae.
Jamie Gorelick held the meeting that stopped cold the FBI’s investigation of TWA 800’s mid-air explosion as a terrorist act. After the meeting, it was all about fuel tanks.
Now Jamie’s a defense attorney for BP??
This chick needs unpaid early retirement, pending a host of criminal charges. Now!
I hope every day Gorelick spends on this earth until she dies is just a vicious guilty heartwrenching reminder of the havoc she has wrought.
That is wild! Probably found out there are no virgins, either.
In summer 2001 I was aware that AQ was planning to strike. I warned many, and they thought I was nuts. My intel, back then, pointed towards a hijacked Egypt Airliner inbound for JFK to not land at JFK, and rather, smash into downtown NYC with a nuke onboard. What ended up happening was not much different, granted, a nuke would have been much worse.
We knew, Ronnie Bucca knew:

There is one up on ebay claiming to be 1st edition listed at $779 right now.
LOL...correction...that was a redacted 1st edition, an unredacted 1st edition is listed at $13,889.
“I hope every day Gorelick spends on this earth until she dies is just a vicious guilty heartwrenching reminder of the havoc she has wrought.”
I don’t see that happening. Being Liberal means you never have to take responsibility.
You are correct on that. Joe Sestak was picked by Sandy Berger and some of Berger’s associates. Apparently, Berger saw national security as more of a PR problem. The guy doesn’t belong anywhere near Washington, D.C.
I almost put brackets around it. I was only quoting the article’s phraseology. You are most certainly right.
