Rutles4Ever is your real name "John Podhoretz" or "Jim Geraghty" by any chance?
It's a tiny fringe of whiners that is worried about smearing Weldon and not investigating the information these military guys have to give us.
Most of us don't care about Weldon or his book. We want his sources to tell us more. The sources are real and likely to be highly credible.
"No, we have more than Weldon. Other papers have independently quoted military sources."
Do you actually think that sometime during Able/Danger that Atta was located and at that time known to be a member of AQ?

The fortitude of some people is amazing.
Yes, if I had to bet on it, that appears to be the case. But we need to investigate further to say definitively.
Must have missed that. Give me a link or clue and I will chase it down.
And as with everything else Clinton, it is likely to go nowhere.
I agree that Republicans may have things to hide too. But I don't care. That's why we should push them to investigate openly and "support the troops." Oh yeah, remember that phrase? The military guys here deserve respect and not to be marginalized as Weldon's whores.
"Yes, if I had to bet on it, that appears to be the case."
No offense, but bet on something else.
Able Danger

So you think the military guys are liars and whores for Weldon too, eh?
Your obessive concern that a Congressman has written a book is beyond my understanding as is your erroneous assumption that he could have chosen a better way to get his message out. That is simply false and he has chosen the EXACT best way to reach the mindnumbed. He is selling it cheap though. I would advise him to raise the price to 29.99 just to p.o. you.
Nothing should have greater urgency than pointing out treason and traitors as we have been doing here for years though I am sure you have been critical of the means or the syntax or the grammar or something.
Most of the books I mentioned are NOT reflections on the authors' political careers or philosophies either. In fact, NONE of them are perhaps you are confusing them with the book of another politician, Mein Kampf.
I wish we had MORE politicians writing books. It might help remove my concern that most are illiterate boobs.
"Give me a link or clue and I will chase it down."
You would be chasing ghosts and unnamed, maybe ranked, maybe sank, maybe just something a reporter made up after ten drinks.
Oh, btw you can go and read his speech on the floor of the House about this matter for free.
FYI, tune to Fox News at 7PM tonight to see a ghost.
"So you think the military guys are liars and whores for Weldon too, eh?"
Who the heck are you talking about? Give me a name (of any of the "military guys") and I will tell you what I think about them.
weldon must step up now. lets see some evidence. it's hard to imagine him going this far out on that limb. if the people involved will not come forward to speak, because they are afraid of losing their positions or facing the inevitable heat. how different are they from the people they tell on? real time is here! if it.s a scam freepers or any one else do not need to feel guilty or like they have been fooled. there is no dishonor it demanding the truth about those who failed on the 11th. lastly , how is it that the press had a complete info dump on atta hours after the attack?
ABLE DANGER LIVES? [John Podhoretz]
Liberal blogger Laura Rozen, who is an open-minded skeptic, has some interesting news on the matter: "Delco Times columnist Gil Spencer, who has long covered Curt Weldon's Pennsylvania district, has just interviewed the Able Danger official who is going public tonight on Fox News. Spencer is the first journalist I am aware of to reveal the identity of the Able Danger official who originally briefed the 9/11 commission staff about Able Danger's findings back in October 2003 at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. That official is DIA Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer. He served in a liaison capacity between Able Danger and the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa, Florida, and he flew into Afghanistan with special ops in a boots on the ground capacity....t's still a bit vague as to what exactly on Atta and the 'Brooklyn cell' the Able Danger team came up with, but Shaffer did tell Spencer that the Able Danger team briefed Pete Schoomaker on their findings. Shaffer also told Spencer that he was meeting with Pentagon intel czar Stephen Cambone today about the Able Danger issue, so clearly the Pentagon is paying attention. Stay tuned." Posted at 04:13 PM
Hmmm. That could probably use its own post...
