Put it in Clinton terms prior to Monica's dress. Clinton reasoned that there was no way Monica could prove he had sex with her. There were no witnesses and what were the odds she had a dress with his semen on it... He figured slim and none. So he denied it.
Then came the zinger that She had saved the Dress to protect herself.
Consider the Able Danger guys who want the story out. The first task is to convince the Clintonistas that the whistle blowers have no proof.. That the Clinton gang has destroyed all proof. In other words all dresses have been drycleaned.
But what if everything has not been destroyed? What course of action will they follow. What will the guilty parties believe. What they believe is most likely will determine their defense.
It seems to me the Able Danger people are setting a trap. They put out conficting information.. and then reverse that information.
That leaves the guilty parties two options... confess and take the consequences, or lie and hope to get away with it. The object of those on offense is to get them to lie and get caught. That takes disinformation and results in the defenders taking a gamble... that they will lose.

However, I'm not sure if there were actually any laws broken in this case. It was a stupid and tragic error, but was it illegal. I have a feeling that the Gorelick memo was designed to cover-up illegal activities, but these had nothing to do with terrorism; if that is the case, then the Gorelick memo was not in itself illegal.
If this is the case, then then the purpose of disclosing Able Danger would be to permanently discredit the Clinton administration. In doing this, disinformation becomes less important.
Remember, it was the Freepers who exposed the Rather FORGERIES. So no forgery this time.
We don't know what Sandy Burglar took at this time so I'm OBVIOUSLY speculating but it sure appears to be some kind of coverup. Don't forget, when Sandy got caught, they called Bubba's attorney first...not the FBI.
