Because, it's becoming clear that the commission's failure to delve into Able Danger has less to do with the unit's credibility than it does with protecting commission member Jamie Gorelick.
BULL'S EYE!

These are dangerous times. Whenever the left is about to be nailed something big happens to divert attention.

Let me get this straight. Chairman Kean of the 9/11 Commission considers a vague threat by al-Qaeda to attack the U.S., which was unspecific as to time, place or means, to be "historically significant" while the identification in advance of the individual cells that would carry out the attacks in which thousands (potentially millions) of Americans would die is "historically insignificant." Meanwhile, Kean is hammering the administration and intelligence agencies for not connecting the dots and demanding a new layer of bureaucracy be put in place so dissenting information will be brought forward. Kean's chutzpah is as mind-boggling in it's logic as it is delusional.
If the Commission had been properly led by someone who understood the U.S. intelligence effort (instead of constantly apologizing for his lack of knowledge), one of the Commission's recommendations should have been for Congress to bring back the Able Danger data mining capability that it banned in 2003. Privacy advocates have no case since the programs were not directed against individuals, but rather behavioral patterns consistent with terrorist activities. Such programs were, in retrospect, effective in identifying potential killers but was misused as a result of politics and the Reno-Gorelick Wall. There is no reason why we must fight this war with one arm tied behind our back. To save lives we need to win.

Mr Rove at work again..they let the Dems think by stacking the commission the Dems could deflect the damage of the truth of the Clinton's failure..I wondered by Gorelick was left on the commission after the Wall memo..Mr Rove was giving them the rope to hang themselves with..
As we all know it is not the crime it's the COVERUP that gets you in the most trouble..LOL ROVE"S PLAN COMES TOGETHER..LOL

...protecting commission member Jamie Gorelick. Yes they want to protect Gorelick, but she is the cut-out, the cat's paw, for Clinton. Protecting Clinton is the Commission's ultimate purpose.

Politics again..here is a commission created to help America....and it was all politics...when can we get some statesmen back..instead of politicians...it saddens me to think the Unites States takes a back seat to these people...but then again they do not know a small statement that starts with " I pledge alligence to the flag of the United States of America"

I always come back to same question: If Iraq has nothing to do with Al Qaeda, why does it upset Al Qaeda so much that the US is trying to bring human rights and democracy to Iraq? ....Because Iraq has everything to do with this war of ideas!
Look, if after 9/11, the US attacked Columbia, then that truly would have been a distraction from the war on terror. Al Qaeda and the Dems would have been happy if Bush did that.....guaranteed!

Similar, one hopes, to what the credit card companies do to stop fraud and theft. And everybody, nearly almost, has credit cards. I suspect nearly all are thankful for that watchfulness upon our accounts.
And cash still works. Although I wish we'd get back to allowing $500's and and thousands in bill or coin.

Hilary Clinton, you mean?

Yeap. The Chinese paid off the watchmen and made off with the inventory.
Only hope is that that since they didn't develop it themselves, they've left out or skipped some important and necessary social ordering thereby making the "gift" poison to them long term.

This is my opinion,
I think this story, weather the MSM likes it or not (the latter) will snowball...I was watching Oreilly, and if he stays true to his word, he will push this story until the truth is known....This will snow ball like the "Swift Boat Veterans"...
To: steve8714
Hilary Clinton, you mean? No, President Clinton, whose reputation affects the Democrats generally and Mrs. Clinton in particular.

They're feigning some interest... but that will come to an abrubt end when;
1.) It doesn't blame Bush
2.) The blame points to GORElick... and ultimately, Clinton
After 1 & 2 happen, the 'Jersey Girls' will demand silence from all... in respect for the dead.

From everything I have read about this issue it seems there were a few things being covered up by the Comission. First off, Gorelick's appointment to the Comission is a sure sign of the cover up. Let her cover up the mess she created at the request of her puppet masters the Clintons (Bill and Hillary, as she was appointed by Hillary). It also seems they wanted to cover up the methods by which Able Danger was able to obtain it's information. According to another thread, they used the same techniques that were implemented in 2003, but the program came to a halt due to an uproar from media and critics.
It seems to me all Comission members, Demorcat and Republican need to be held accountable for these omissions and explain honestly and openly to the American people why they did so.
Then we can get on with the business of reopening the FBI and CIA cases dealing with the Chinese Government's illegal contributions to the DNC in exchange for top secret nuclear technology. Then we can throw Bill and Hill in the can...but when Gorelick ends up dead, will the media turn their heads away once again?
