WELDON REJECTS 9/11 COMMISSION CLAIM THEY NEVER HEARD OF "ABLE DANGER"

Liberals have been all a-twitter lately...expecting that some kind of indictment against Bush/Cheney/Rove was in the works. What if, they are partially right...what if there ARE high profile indictments coming down...only not for anyone in the President's Administration.

*LOL*

We all know how everytime the Libs get riled up they wind up with a rather embarassing amount of egg on their face. I would expect something along these line again...and maybe, just maybe...this story about Able Danger is the egg containing the goo that will soon be all over the Libs yet again. Jamie Gorelick, in particular, has to be concerned. It was her memo that clearly allowed the intelligence failure to occur.

I'm looking forward to this. Expect the Libs to go into hyper-attack mode to try and cover up the issue...we need to make every effort we can, through every outlet we can...to let as many folks know as possible...that 09/11/2001 had many reasons for occurring...but chief among them was the utter failure of the Clinton Administration to handle the obvious threat we faced from terrorism

[cvq3842]

Absolutely.

But who on our side let her get there? That's what's bugging me.

"This guy Weldon is really OK."

He's a good rep, but he can go off the deep end occasionally. Didn't he also claim that Tehran is hiding Osama bin Laden? I'm not saying this 9/11 stuff isn't true, but I want to hear it from another source before I put too much stock in it.

I'm glad to see this is gaining some traction although I'm extremely pessimistic that the Clinton administration will ever be held accountable for any of the criminal/treasonous actions. Copied and emailed this one to a few friends.

There was a heirarchy that allowed only two people could see the data. THEY decided who else got to see the data.......one of those two was JAMIE GORELICK.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Richard Ben-Vinesta, perhaps?

[XJarhead]

Do you have a link for that? If true, that's hugely damning. And it wouldn't surprise me at all. She should never have been placed on that Commission because of the conflict.

[OldFriend]

The President was against this commission from the start....and with good reason. Too bad the media made it impossible to keep saying NO.

All I can say is.....Heaven help the USA.

[rod1]

Ah Richard Ben Venista. His name continues to show up where their is disgraceful if not treasonous Democrate actions to cover up. I wonder what he is up to these days. For people like that, it is usually helpful to know their whereabouts. Inevitably it seems they are up to no good.

[Sunshine Sister]

I sure hope you are right about getting this out in the general public. I'm not holding my breath however. 50+ years of experience tells me not to hold my breath!

Hey Karen... Karen... 'yo Karen...

KAREN BREITWEISER... wake-the-fu_k up!!!!

Why would anyone email anything significant to anybody?

#1. The law firm probably has a filter that keeps your email from getting through.

#2. Your email will get lost in a pile of spam.

Face it, the internet is the worst possible way of communicating with anyone.

Either write, fax or better yet, phone. They have to answer the phone and a significant number of calls will get their attention.

[johnny7]

My apologies to Karen Breitweiser... it's 'Kristen'.

NOTE TO ALL: on any articles about this subject, add the keyword "Atta"...... that will make it come up easy in the search engine....the Admin Moderator created that category

[Sacajaweau]

The President was against the Commission because there had already been a Senate Intelligence(I think) Commission. The findings were published on the web at one time....including suggestions for the future.

President Bush nailed the new commission for what it was...a "sanitize" Bubba campaign for Hillary.

I kept thinking that Bubba ordered Berger "to the archives"....but I'm leaning more and more to "Hillary Ordered Berger"....to the archives...or "off with your head".

Berger's reward was "Kerry Advisor".......and then came the "off with your head" bit. Voila...Berger awaits sentencing.

Hello old friend . . .

I just wanted to make sure you didn't miss this thread, or the thread linked in the referenced post.

I'm sure Jamie "eyebrows" Gorelick doesn't expect a Spanish Inquisition.

) What lawyers in the Department of Defense made the decision in late 2000 not to pass the information from Able Danger to the FBI?

There are a number of aspects of this story that are troubling me.

Why were lawyers at DOD making this decision? Shouldn't they have handed off any DOMESTIC information to the FBI? Shouldn't it have been up to the FBI what to do with this information?

What was DOD doing running a DOMESTIC Intelligence Operation? Remember this is PRE 9-11. I could see something like Able Danger now but find it really hard to believe the same Administration that put up "the wall" was going to authorize DOD to do Able Danger.

"So maybe you nail them for bad management in delegating too much responsibility to staffers"

There is an obvious question here: Who were these staffers, high ranking secretaries, attorneys?

[Mygirlsmom]

Maybe FReepers are the ones who should camp in front of Gorelick's and demand answers.

Hey, it's working for Cindy Sheehan!

President Clinton had the DOD spying on American Citizens.
