Hey, msnbc said it so it must be true.

Sorry, when a 'private' rebuke is reported by msnbc, I'm rather skeptical that it happened at all.

Sandy Burglar was trying to sanitize. What did he destroy and how much worse is it actually?

Perhaps FNC is being threatened with "denial of access"

Has anyone else noticed how FNC is not mentioning sources on the pannel? Anyone else notice how there is to Comment from Gorlick? The answer is because Gorlick IS the source and FNC can't say Gorlick is silent on this.

This story is like the fake guard memos went "no where". Keep pushing folks.

Clinton screwed and people died.

Can this story be condensed to a 2-word headline like the one that Crusty waved in the Senate? ("Bush Knew")
No, I think not.
The fix is in, people. It's a bipartisan coverup.

it seems sandy berger DID sanitize.

The staffers who went to the archives in the last few days finished the job.

WHOSE staffers went? Does anyone have the name of these staffers? The background of the staffers?

Junior Sandy Bergers do not bode well.

Remember folks, the MSM said the claims about the guard documents were just right wing conspiracy theories.

The WH sure didn't dispute the story at the time.

Publicize your post, please-- try sending it to your local talk-show radio people, or Michael Savage (he likes red meat...)

Cheers!

Fox will likely give it more airtime once someone is willing to come forward in Aruba and discuss it.

January or June? What's the difference. It was 2000...during the Clinton Administration and their only thought was "keep the White House". No outside disruptions allowed.

I do't know what the Commission reported about Atta...But the Senate Intelligence Report dated December 2002 says: Atta and al-Shehhi rented apartments in NY before going to Florida in early July of 2000.

"Able Danger identified hijack leader Mohamed Atta and the other members of his cell. But Clinton administration officials stopped them -- three times -- from sharing this information with the FBI."

"The 9/11 commission wrote history as it wanted it to be, not as it was."

"They were stopped because the lawyers at that time in 2000 told them Mohamed Atta had a green card" -- he didn't -- "and they could not go after someone with a green card,"

Something is wrong here - having a Green Card makes you immune to action even if you're plotting a terrorist attack? Citizens aren't afforded that right!

Gorelick must have some very damaging material on the Clintons locked away in a safe place for an "insurance policy".

Absolutely right...the press hides these images of people jumping from the trade center (too harsh for our sensibilities don't you know)...these need to be in the face of the sheep who make up the 'moderate center' of this nation. The MSM and the Dems want the sleeping giant to doze off again.

dems are saying they were only told once about this and besides, the source wasn't 'credible'.

Of course he wasn't "credible." He was a military officer. The Clinton White House generally had nothing but contempt for men in uniform. Congressional Democrats still have that attitude.

Forgive me if I bold this a little differently:

NBC's David Gregory reported that Bush specifically criticized Attorney General John Ashcroft in connection with Gorelick's treatment. The president told commissioners he did not approve of the “fingerpointing.”

I'm surprised the Post Gazette let this story see the light of day even in the OP/ED section.

Yeah...I'd like to see someone take a couple of 8x10 color glossies of those pictures and stick them in Cindy Sheehans face! Ask her if it would be fair to assume that her son died so that this may never happen on our soil again. Instead, she says that her son died for nothing!

It just makes me angry.

Just saw MSNBC, now the MSM is trying to discredit the story. <\i>

Fox News Sunday panel pretty much poo-poo'd the Weldon angle, especially Krauthammer who is usually even-handed...and Weldon crying 'wolf' again with questionable 'data'. I think 'Able-Danger' is so white-hot on both sides of the aisle that Weldon will be tanked and the story buried deep. What else did Able-Danger uncover and who else will it damage?
