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.

It is odd, isn't it, that the documents that HE stole are from the same time frame that the Able Danger "missing" documents are from, huh?

Yepper. Quite the co-inky-dink, don't you think? Clinton's guy was stuffing documents down his pants, and NOW we find out what's missing. Good thing his sentencing has been held off until September, aye?

And Clinton's "guys" were on the commission.

Speaking of that, wasn't it the "Commission staffers" who assured us that nothing Sandy took would have helped the commission anyway?

Something HAPPENED in 1999/2000 that they don't want us to know about.

Honestly, I don't think I would have believed it, had I not heard it with my own ears. It was that stupid.

Omission by the commission is not a crime.

It could be if it was done to cover up information vital to this investigation.

"The guy on MSNBC just said, "President Bush interrupted his vacation for the second time in two days to make his case for Iraq..."

They're just NOT going to give the vacation thing up.

"MSNBC interrupted their Bush-bashing twice in 20 minutes in order to run an intestinal gas commercial."

If Sandyburger is de-briefed, that's a picture I don't want to see.

Slade Gordon said last night it didn't happen.........

Well .. we have a few people that say other wise

And the fact the Jamie Gorelick and her staff were filtering the information that the rest of the Commission got to see .. sure does raise questions and doubts about the Commission

Then there is Ashcroft brining light to the Wall Memo .. that apparently the 9/11 was not aware of till he mentioned it

Gorelick should NEVER have been on that panel

She should have been a witness and put under oath

The 911 Commission was actually briefed on Able Danger before they weren't.

I agree completely. But I wonder if we'll ever know what.

Interesting in light of The Washington Times by Rowan Scarborough today Review finds no pre-9/11 Atta file

"A Pentagon investigation has found no evidence that Able Danger, a secret military intelligence operation, identified September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta as a terror cell member more than a year before the attacks."

Guess we'll have to stand by as Rowan is supposed to have good sources.

FWIW, my bet is a lot of somethings and long before '99.

Yeah. Clinton knew it was coming, and that could explain the lefts blatant attempt to literally steal the 2000 election. They desperately needed Gore in charge for some reason. Oooooo. Imagine Al Gore in charge during 9/11. We'd have martial law, disarmament, and the UN would have to take over - "for our own safety."
Oh. Scary!
