I can't print the rest of what I'm thinking.
OK, what was the fix.
I was just listening to him. He trusts both Commissioner Chairs and they have consistently denied that they were informed about the operation Able Danger.
That's why we need Congressional hearings and under oath testimony. Did the staff hide this from the Commission or is the Commission lying?
Has anyone looked at the staff reports? Because a lot of stuff in the staff reports never made it into the Final report.
For instance, in Dec. 2003, the staff report mentioned Salmon Pak, but I don't think the final report thought salmon pak was interesting enough to even merit a mention.
....but we have to consider that in any bureaucracy staff members 'learn' what the bosses do and don't want to 'know' and what the bosses do and don't want to act upon. Certainly the staff members may deserve a lot of blame here, but the bosses (i.e., Commission members) don't get "off the hook" just because they weren't informed -- they may not have wanted to know.
If the commission staff had believed that the Commisioners truly wanted to turn over every rock, this would have been briefed to the Commission.
