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.
2. It is absolutely wrong to consult prevailing international standards or current European chic to interpret our Constitution, including the Eighth Amendment. It is so wrong that it is disgusting.
O'R is trolling for dummie viewers, nothing more.
And the media never did report that the Mayor of SLC, a dem calling for protests against the President......was himself booed by the same folks who cheered the President when he appeared.
I don't recall which decisions exactly, but sometime in the last year or so at least one of the justices on the USSC (Stevens?) have referred to some international law stuff... I think it may have been with regard to the death penalty somehow.
This may be important. Who was still in charge at the time? Anyone?
I'm guessing it's something the Clinton administration did or didn't do that will make THEM look worse than anything they could make up about George Bush.
If not, why else this HUGE effort by practically everybody in the government (Clinton leftovers) to hide the truth?
"The new Counterterrorism Division will consolidate all FBI counterrorism initiatives under a single person. "
You could be right, but I thought I remembered something happening right before the 2000 election and whatever change it was, it handed Janet Reno an additional power that she hadn't had before.
This was going on during the Clinton years. Reno put Michael J. Waguespack in charge of FBI intel. Read the third memo. These came from the freedom of information act.

The wall was not designed to hide terrorism. It was designed to cover what the Clinton administration was hiding. They didn't want to get caught, and Tenant was in on it.
I think Rummy was confirmed the week followed the President - Ashcroft took longer - seems like May - the Clinton administration wouldn't turn over any intelligence info to the incoming Bush admin until the last minute and with the delay of the election until mid-December, Bush was delayed for putting together his people and had to rent out space in Virginia (again due to CLinton obstructionism). Throw in that mess with the Chinese over our plane that they held for 3 weeks in April, and yet they blame Bush for 9/11!!! Geesh, it's unfreakin believable!
The General who defended Secretary Rumsfeld was General Tom McEinerny(? spell and what rank General). He did so forcefully.
Geeze. I'm not sure then. Now you've got me curious, and I love a good mystery.
If the Secretary of Defense affirms the project in public, doesn't that tacit approval to any and all to step forward and confirm, confirm, confirm the story?
It's got to be something like that.
But what have we missed? Not even a hint back then leaked out?
Must be something really bad.
Space Needle bombing attempt -->1999, BinLaden connected.
Three, ey?
Don't think I'm doing any better. Looks like we won't have to hang on that long however. We'll either be into marshal law or The Lord will have returned.
Rumsfeld was interviewed by Charlie Rose on PBS last week or so. He was just awesome, and Rose's questions actually were good as well.
Rummy you sly dog! Talk about setting a bear trap.
They did breif the commission on Able Danger. I will also bet they turned over documentation to the commission as well. Rummy is setting them up to having to defend what happened to these documents.
Heeeeeee Heeeeeee Heeeeeee!
Don't hold your breath expecting sen. hillary to hold up a newspaper on the Senate floor w/the headline of CLINTON KNEW.
