Time for a new tagline...

Why not ..? Weldon was a member of the House committee who received the information directly from Able Danger.

And if you don't believe the military intel group existed, you can always check with General Shelton who headed the group.

If Weldon believes certain members of the commission .. that's his personal choice. Weldom may have information from them that we are not privy to.

You bet. But the American public has already been hosed once. In the interest of not getting hosed again, I think Weldon shouldn't believe jack from anyone until it's said under oath.

Trust but verify :)

Betcha all the permanent memos are missing from the archives thanks to the Follies Berger.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. you make a good point.

[CyberAnt]

Yep! I think so too. But .. the Pentagon records are separate - so I don't think anybody like Berger would have access to those. I could be wrong, but I'm hoping I'm not.

[G.Mason]

My point is the "hot air" is saying that the staffers did not tell the 911 Commission.

I find that difficult to believe, unless the 911 Commission members [not staffers] are complete morons [not to difficult to imagine] and the brains behind the 911 Commission was the staffers, or being directed by one or more staff members.

IMHO ... That would be rather difficult. It would be much easier for the 911 Commission members themselves to decide what they wanted the report to contain and exclude all other evidence. Out of sight, out of mind, if you will.

Sandy Berger was sent to the archives to deliberately remove as much incriminating evidence as he could. And he did.

Build their gallows high

[Paul Ross]

I think they will do it this time too.

Yep.

I had such high hopes when we defeated Al Gore in 2000.

Unfortunately, GWB...in his mono-maniacal quest for a "new-tone"...and the so far unilateral "bipartisanship"... has let us down in so many ways, they are too numerous to list.

And the political charade just kept getting worse, and worse, where we witnessed the national security criminals were the ones calling for the patriots to be imprisoned...and "frog-marched" in orange jump suits before the dock...!!

The hutzpah of these malfeasants...was staggering and beggared belief.

The manifestly criminal intent of Joe Wilson and Richard Clarke to betray our national security to abet John Kerry's candidacy...continues to go unpunished. No wonder Ashcroft asked out of the AG's job...if GWB wouldn't let him proceed against the enemies foreign and domestic because of the political "passes" being issued right and left (mostly Left).

The failure of either Richard Clarke or George Tenet to mention EITHER "Able Defense's" existence to Condileeza, Powell or Rumsfeld or the Phillipines report of the Al-Quaeda Plane Plot...were manifestly chargeble with misfeasance, and possibly treason itself. The latter case was serious enough that it triggered appointing a commission headed up by Al Gore...tasked by Bill Clinton to recommend airline security measures...which he then proceeded to never implement. All because such industry-expensive recommendations would be deleterious to "his" economy. [And remember it was "all about the economy...stupid"]

Notice how both Al Gore and Bill Clinton were real quiet about that airline security commission's findings and recommendations all during the last 5 years. And apparently nary a word about it from either Clarke or Tenant either. Think about the political hay GWB could have made out of that. A demonrat could never again show his ugly mug on national television without the bloody red shirt of 9-11 being hung around their necks...and properly so.

Meanwhile, what do we see? GWB subsequently awards George Tenet a Presidential Medal of Freedom...

[Lone Red Ranger]

and don't forget Clarke....Everything crossed his desk.

(hmm...there seems to be a pattern here....)

[Paul Ross]

Everything crossed (Richard Clarke's) desk.

And George Tenet's. And NEITHER OF THEM briefed Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell or President Bush on the foiled Al-Queda Project Bojinka attack, the resulting Al Gore-led Airline Security Commission's recommendations, or the warnings of the DOD's ABLE DANGER infiltration task force.

Thank God for Curt Weldon finally spilling the beans here. I suspect that any inside sources we had with Able Danger have long since been burned, and there was no longer any shred of legitimate operational or strategic security basis for continued secrecy of these reports...only purely political reasons. Hence they were necessarily constitutionally illegitimate reasons...i.e., treasonous Xlintonian reasons.

What do the Xlinton's have on the Bush's ? That is what it keeps coming back to.

And I can't stop thinking about those 900+ FBI files that Hitlery carries around with here everywhere in her plastic valise...

[DJ MacWoW]

This article about Able Danger is concise and to the point.

This is a great link - thanks!

[DJ MacWoW]

I thought the anlysis was excellent. ESPECIALLY coming from a rather liberal paper.

[CyberAnt]

That's why I posted it - I don't want people to get the impression that everybody on the left is ignoring this revelation.

I don't want people to get the impression that everybody on the left is ignoring this revelation.

I have to admit that I'm surprised this is getting coverage.

GWB has defended the Clinton administration from day one of his administration. He lied about the damage Clinton's people did to the computers - breaking off all the Ws, he lied about the damage done to the offices as Clinton's people left, he lied about the filthy words Clinton's people left on the walls and the porno sites left on the computers. And made the tax payers clean up the damage and buy new computers, while saying there was no damage done.

It was that day I realized there was not much difference between GWB and Bill Clinton. Bush will do anything to protect the Clinton administration, to the detriment of America.

Lee Hamilton, the 9/11 commission's co-chair, told Fox News on Wednesday, "The Sept. 11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell. Had we learned of it, obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."

Lee Hamilton is a lying bum.

[beyond the sea]

Isn't it scary to even be thinking that the truth was somewhere in Sandy Burger's pants?

Yeh, the long and the short of it were in Sandy Berger's pants. The documents were the long of it, and ............... the short of it.

[SERKIT]

Sandy Berger is an outright thief for Clinton and got away with it.

In the best Clintonesque gravely voice: "Ah didn't ask one person to steal anything for me, not once, never."

That means he told Sandy Burglar to "go get it to cover my big doughy white b*tt".
