Move along, nothing to see here.
This matter should be investigated through hearing in the House and Senate Armed Forces and Intelligence Committees.
I will ping you to a thread I have on this matter.
Check Sandy Berger's pants.
Now that the Rats have taken the bait its time to spring the trap.
It is time for at least one of these "commissioners" to stop protecting Jamie Gorelick and to come clean about what really happened. I hope Weldon and the Able Danger team really stick it to them.
Especially since Atta took his dry run flights with tickets purchased in his own name, not an alias.
Does this mean that they simply ignore information that doesn't fit their preconceptions? This Commission has squandered whatever credibility it had.
""Bluntly, it just didn't happen and that's the conclusion of all 10 of us," said a former commissioner, ex-Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash."
I feel more comfortable now. Safer. And it was a REPUBLICAN who said this as Well!! I really feel safer... .... really.... I really do.
You expected something else??? Weldon still has a trick or two in his bag of goodies...
Circle the wagons!
Political hacks covering their worthless backsides!? I'm shocked. /sarc
Of course the former commission members would deny it because that would put the responsibility of 911 squarely on the clintoonian administration including the dimwit algore. The 911 commission was a boondoggle to start with since it was created to continue the demoncRATS "BLAME BUSH" mentality but found that it couldn't unless it blamed clintoonian administration, which the commission members weren't going to do.
I expected nothing more than this denial by the commission. I guess the word of a half dozen or more military OFFICERS and civilians isn't good enough for them.
Bull@it
9/11 Commission: Who you gonna believe, a set of deceitful self serving politicians and their hacks or actual serving intelligence officers who have placed their jobs at risk???
The older I get the more I think political leaders should just be randomly drafted out of the population with a minimum set of qualification like being over 35 years old, able to read and write English, etc. Mark Twain once wrote that the only native criminal class in America is Congress. He was right.
That dadgum "Commission" is gettin' me angry!
Really? Two military officers, Army Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and Navy Capt. Scott Phillpott, claimed a classified military intelligence unit, known as "Able Danger," identified Atta before the attacks. Both these men are military professionals of high integrity, with no ax to grind ... impugning their integrity this way by sleazy pols and 'suck up' inside the beltway types is reprehensible.
I think they are trying to regain their credibility by blaming anyone they think they can and dismissing evidence as if it were beneath their dignity to look.
In the first place it looks and smells like sour grapes to the casual observer. Also, it will not work, as long as Congress takes up the investigation of both Able Danger and Katrina.
In a campaign/election year it will be the ones running for office who'll triumph as the fearless investigators with real answers... ahem
