Rumsfeld is having a press conference. Under the Fox News Alert the big banner read:

Rumsfeld says that Able Danger briefed the 9/11 Commission.

Did anyone hear his remarks on this matter; all I've seen is the banner.

Now that I don't know, mewzilla, although something about one of the Florida bases was mentioned last night on the National Geographic special on 9/11.

[HarleyLady27]

This is NOT going to go away as long as we keep pushing it.....I would love to see this put in clinton, clinton and gore's lap like a hot potato....and have Ms. Gorelick try to put it out....

[tiredoflaundry]

Today's Briefing

No. There are THREE

YOu go back 4 months from 9/11.that's now late May..W got in very late, as well well rememebr, and many of his appointments were tied up for several months..many of the undersecretaries..Feb..March..so there's NO window there..

There was a left wing petition going around about Clinton staying in office until the "legal problems" were resolved. It was "For the sake of the country." That would have kept Clinton in office long enough for 9/11 to occur, and he'd be in charge. Bill really, really, thought Gore would win. Because Gore lost, all the left wings effort went into keeping the Republican out as long as possible.
I will always believe Clinton knew 9/11 was coming, and welcomed the attack with Al Gore having the power to declare martial law.

[Peach]

I didn't know there were three!

Mewzilla...the link mercy posted mentions Andrews AFB.

From the link -- In addition, James Smith, a former employee of a defense contractor, says he helped create a chart in 2000 for the Able Danger program that included Mr. Atta's photograph and name. According to Smith, Atta's name and photograph were obtained through a private researcher in California who was paid to gather the information from contacts in the Middle East. Smith says he retained a copy of the chart for some time, posting it on his office wall at Andrews Air Force Base. Ironically, considering the apparent role of the Clinton administration's wall in this story, Smith recalls that the chart became stuck to his wall at the air base, and was impossible to remove when he switched jobs.

Rush just announced that he is interviewing Curt Weldon in five minutes for the next newsletter.

I wonder if Rush will have anything to say tomorrow.

[ken5050]

Thanks..you prety much proved my thesis...regards..

[Lazamataz]

Hmm... so we seem to have multiple confirmations that Able Danger existed, and that it is substantially what it is alleged to be. Why are the documents gone? What happened to them?

Three words.

Sandy.

Berger's.

Good. This one can't be missed. Able Danger is real news.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman ...

FYI..perhaps the Dem talking points are evolving..Bob Beckel was on Fox a little while ago..he said..and I'm pretty sure I have it accurately.."unlike some other of my fellow Dems, I believed that there were at one time WMDs in Iraq in Saddam's possession, and I also believe that George Bush believed it.."

Mena airport "I didn't inhale" Travel-gate Ron Brown Whitewater China-gate Billing records Impeachment Vote fraud 2000 Pardon-gate Trashing of the White House Fraudulent Purple Hearts Consorting with the enemy Fraudulent discharge papers Vote fraud 2004 All the above led nowhere. And I'm to believe that Able Danger is finally going explode and expose all (or any) of the corruption and compliance in Washington? Please excuse me, it's time for my nap.

I saw him just long enough to thank my daughter for getting his photo Memorial Day Weekend at Rolling Thunder. He was surrounded by "bikers", big ones with interesting sunglasses.

[Peach]

You can believe whatever you want to believe. No one is forcing you to think anything around here. And, btw, if there's a thread that doesn't interest you, just scroll on by.

[WoodstockCat]

next question is who was the private contractor.

[TX Conservative]

Somthing that has bothered me for a long time - maybe someone here can dig up the information. In August or September of 2000, Clinton suddenly made an annoucement that he was transfering a certain "security" responsibility that had been handled by another area to Janet Reno. I remember at the time that Freepers discussed what was behind it. I wondered after 9/11 if the change was made because intelligence had info about a potential attack and Willard wanted to have his go-to girl, Reno, available to do something like martial law. Does anyone else remember this?

[RobFromGa]

The fall is going to be soon.

I hope you are right.
