CBSNews identifies Curt Weldon as "The congressman, considered something of a maverick on Capitol Hill, initially made his allegations in a floor speech in June that garnered little attention."

After watching Weldon this morning on FOX & Friends, what made the biggest impression on me was his explanation of how totally bogus it is to claim the information gathered by the Able Danger unit couldn't be shared with intelligence agencies. Here's a snippet of Weldon's remarks on FOX & Friends this morning.

""Lawyers within the administration — and we're talking about the Clinton administration, not the Bush administration ... said 'you can't do it,'" and put post-its over Atta's face, Weldon said. "They said they were concerned about the political fallout that occurred after Waco ... and the Branch Davidians."

But Able Danger was largely using open-source information that was available on the Internet and other public mediums, Weldon said, adding that there was no law prohibiting such information from being passed on to law enforcement."

Gee....I think this is the same time period that Linda Tripp was at the Pentagon and at the height of "Monica".
