How hot can we make it? ? ;oD
Gorelick's work on the committee was just investigative. No one deemed what MUST be included in the investigation. Any omission is just that...an omission....for whatever reason. It was not authoritive but investigative and suggestive...and no more.
The commission's findings, however, have been placed in doubt, and those still in power will continue to do their best to whitewash their failure..
I'll keep an eye (and ear) out for the interview..
It will be interesting to see just how much of the info we on FR have dug up and analyzed will actually make it on the air..
Do you know when this is?
Indeed. I'll be watching, too!
I'm not sure, but I would imagine it'll air on Brit Hume's Special Report and perhaps again on Shep Smith's Fox Report.
On another thread earlier, they were referring to a report to be aired tonight at about 7pm by Catherine Herridge. That would suggest to me that it will be on Shepard Smith's show.
Thank you for the heads up!
DragonWare contained three parts:
Carnivore - A Windows NT/2000-based system that captures the information
Packeteer - No official information released, but presumably an application for reassembling packets into cohesive messages or Web pages
Coolminer - No official information released, but presumably an application for extrapolating and analyzing data found in the messages
As you can see, officials never released much information about the DragonWare Suite, nothing about Packeteer and Coolminer and very little detailed information about Carnivore. But we do know that Carnivore was basically a packet sniffer, a technology that is quite common and has been around for a while.
Echelon - This is a secret network rumored to be under development by the National Security Agency (NSA), supposedly designed to detect and capture packets crossing international borders that contain certain keywords, such as "bomb" or "assassination." There is no solid evidence to support the existence of Echelon. Many people confused this rumored system with the Carnivore system
I believe that there are National Security interests involved
with this Able Danger story that should prevent the details
from becoming public. We shouldn't want all of our surveillance
capabilities exposed on the floor of Congress. All that needs to
be said is, Clinton fiddled while OBL and his minions planned
for us to burn. Anything beyond that will just give airtime to
Leftist and Islamist Moon-bats and possibly giveaway to many
hints of our virtual battle plans.
If the NSA has Super Computer Sniffers butt-spliced to every
OC-192 pipe I don't want to give that information to every
enemy, foreign and domestic, that has free and clear access to
the Capitol Dome.
