Could the chart have fit in Sandy Berger's pants?
It figures.
Must protect the traitorous Clintons at all cost.
It boggles the mind what they're getting away with. And I, for one, have no confidence in our govt because of it.
BTTT
Hillary's losing her edge. Too many folks are talking and she's left far too many loose ends.
No, the program worked perfectly. It was the human factor that didn't. The system merely spews out info. It's up to the humans to study and understand the info.
:-) So true!
:-) Fair comment - programs will only do as they are told, and will do it exactly.
But, consider that the "Chinese connection" (linking officials to Chinese influence) that this data mining found was also (more importantly) establishing HILLARY CLINTON associates and campaign donors with the Chinese.
Remember, at the time of the chart and the presentations and the 9/11 planning (when the Islamic terrorists already got in-country and were attending flight training), it was STILL Clinton in office.
There is no such chart. It does not exist. It was shredded as soon as it became a subject of contention.
Right, here's the problem.
Clinton's thrive on old school wild accusations campaigning. So that no matter what horrible thing that they have done, it gets turned on its head. It's just too incredible that they did half of the things that they are alleged to have done, yet it may be true that they did do at least half of them.
It won't stick.
Here's another take, and I defer to the technology experts to correctly answer this question. We know that the Chinese were/are data mining. So isn't it possible that this data mining included jobs or executables that would make the system or computer containing the information do the search and then launch the findings to China? If so, this may create an audit trail that would appear to implicate the victim and cover up the aggressor.
A sign of insanity is to repeat behavior and expect a different result. But there's good crazy and bad crazy
:-)
Openly charging some democrats as perps has backfired in the past, so other means of stopping the bad acts need to be found.
grammar police alert
Clinton's = possessive, not plural
should have been "Clintons"
Off to the pokey. :-)
That says that there is not a sticky post over Atta's photo.
????? If Weldon had the chart, why didn't he give it to the Commission?
Curiouser and curiouser...
It is more than the Republicans making charges and attacking Crat misdeeds. The Republicans actively resist discovery and cover up those misdeeds just as eagerly as do the Crats.
First, the program did not come up with Rice & Perry while data-mining on al-Qaida but on Chinagate.
Second, data-mining doesn't determine the guilty or even the suspencts, but like old fashion jawbone & gumshoe investigative techniques it comes back with name of those "at the scene". Human been would have to then sifted through that raw data and determine who had a good reason to be there and who didn't before anyone would be "tagged".
More simply, Rice & Perry may have had good reason to be associated with those in Chinagate, BUT Atta could only have had bad reasons to be associated with al-Qaeda.
If this was the reason Able-Danger was shutdown, it's transparently pretextual.
As Rush says, it's all about power - and therefore money. Republicans are as suceptible to wanting to hold onto power as are Dems, and it all leads to corruption.
Good place to start: Clinton Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Hugh Shelton --- who didn't retire with the change of administration in January 20001, but on September 30, 2001. (source link)
