What I have heard is that the Able Danger folks approached the 911 Commission at least twice carrying two brief cases full of information obtained through data mining and connecting the dots.

The staff on the 911 Commission met with them and took a lot of notes, pages of notes as they spoke. Later on Able Danger folks were told they wouldn't be needed any further by the staff and that was the end of it until now when Curt Weldon broke this hidden information.

The 911 Commission or the staff made the decision to exclude and mention of Able Danger because they said it didn't fit their time lines or something like that.

Someone is lying, or a lot of people are lying to cover their own a$$ because the information was to self incriminating for many in the political arena called Washington D.C. to start a blood bath on Capital Hill that would go straight up to the Clinton White House. We know what Clinton's do to those who challenge or expose them, the end up dead.

Savage may be half nuts...but the other half has been on border issues and this Able Danger issue a heck of a lot of other conservative talkers and TV personalitys.

The reason we are seeing a knee jerk reaction from National Review and other conservatives is because of Phillip Zellicow.

Democrats do not want any investigation into able danger because of Jamie Gorelick's wall and Clintons bunch scared to death they are about to be exposed in the scandal of the century and Bush's bunch don't want to have to answer why a lawyer who was the head staffer on the commission and is said to be the reason information was disregarded...is STILL WORKING FOR CONDI RICE.

It stinks and looks like neither party was looking for the truth, just trying to cover their....

It won't be long before Begella, Carville and other Clinton hacks are out smearing these guys reputations. Hillary is probably calling the attack Dogs up for appearances on all the Liberal Networks. The Clintons will not tolerate anything this big too have legs. They may even still have FBI files to scare everyone who will dare to speak out and tell the truth.

To expound on your excellent points, the very fact that media whores Gorelick, BenVeniste, heck, even Kean..who hace never before NOT availed themselves of any microphone or camera, anywhere, anytime; have virtually disappeared the last two weeks..that alone tells me they are afraid to say anything..

Jpod is such a clown.

First he jumps on it, then overcompensates jumping off it, and now is just punting.

How useless.

Why not just re-consult his source from Saturday that said it was all bunk?

Col. Schaefer's assertion -
"there are bureaucrats in Washington who do not have America's vital interests at heart"
is significant in that he probably had the culprits you mentioned in mind.....

It seems to me that the "Commission" is PART of the treason plot. The RATS were playing for something to happen which would insure their hold on power. The timing went off, and the event (9/11) occured while a PUB was Prez. It wasn't supposed (hopefully) to be that way. The commission's job is/was to cover tracks and cover up.

Yep. The 9/11 Commission covered up for the Clinton administration who paved the way for Atta and his minions.

We need to know who the moles are within the Administration. Hopefully this is starting to surface some of them.

Nice try but there is no reason to believe Zeilkow saw the supressed information since Gorelick and her factotem were the gatekeepers as to what the other Commissioners saw.

"Podhoretz has convinced me in recent days that it is not worth listening to Podhoretz."

You know, I've been wondering about this. Let me throw this out. Does anyone know the relationship between Podhoretz and this Phillip Zelicow who was(is) a close aide of Condi Rice? Could this guy be the Pod's 'source' who told him there was nothing to the story?

Certainly, this Zelicow, given his position on the 911 Commission, has a reason to derail this story? And maybe he and the Pod are friends?

If this is ever confirmed in any way, it will many years down the road, and only a footnote of history. BUT, don't put anything beneath them.

I was just trying to explain why both parties and the "Washington Insiders"
don't seem to want to open an investigation.

Andrew McCarthy did direct some irritated comments at Podhoretz who now feels that he may have overreacted since Shaffer has been identified. Now it seems that he (Podhoretz) is trying to cover his tracks. Somehow Podhoretz was deluded into thinking that Weldon cooked the thing up out of whole cloth. I can't believe an elected gov official like Weldon would go out on a limb that long with no convincing facts behind him. I like Podhoretz, but he was ready to ditch Weldon before any facts came out. If Shaffer had turned out to be a loon, Podhoretz might have had an argument. Now he is the one that is looking like an ass.
