YIKES!! Dr. Eileen sounds very interesting!!

I couldn't be more disappointed than I am at Rumsfeld....I can't figure this out.

I beginning this could get w's good billy boob in serious trouble if everybody is trying to piss on it.

[Congressman Billybob]

I've covered this in more detail on another thread. It is both a criminal act and a civil wrong for anyone to interfere with a government employee's honest testimony before a congressional committee. The only exception is that the President is immune from the civil suit.

I know this for sure, because I represented Earnest Fitzgerald against Richard Nixon in the US Supreme Court on this precise issue.

Everyone up to Rumsfeld himself must be dragged in to answer for this. If Rummy won't permit their testimony, he should be removed from office.

How far will Bush go to protect the Clintons? We are about to find out.

[SunnyD1182]

After all the things Bill Clinton said about the President this past week, Bush's administration STILL is going to incredible lengths to protect Clinton's administration. Unbelievable. The worst part is that this is at the sacrifice of our national security.

[Anti-Bubba182]

More information is great, but Hurricane Rita will dominate the news. If all of this drips out in a quieter time it is more likely to get the attention in deserves.

My read of this is that Rumsfield is moving to force Specter to issue subpoenas and go behind closed doors. This is top secret stuff and needs to stay that way. More important than hanging Clintoon and Gore lick. Maybe there will surface a way to do all.

Members of the now disbanded commission and the Pentagon have dismissed Weldon's claim as bogus, saying that no confirmation could be found despite a massive search of Pentagon files and numerous interviews with military intelligence officials.

"Bluntly, it just did not happen," said commissioner Slade Gorton, a former senator from Washington State, at a press conference here last week.

Well then.... the 9/11 Commission says there's nothing to all this silly "Able Danger" stuff, nothing at all.
And after all, they should know. They investigated the terror attacks thoroughly and in an objective, non-partisan manner.
Jamie Gorelick and Company left no stone unturned.

Mr. Specter said ... ....

"There are quite a few credible people who are prepared to testify that Mohamed Atta was identified long before 9/11," he said. "Now maybe there's more than one Mohamed Atta. Or maybe there's some mistake. But that's what we're trying to find out."

What a very curious thing to say "... more than one ..." -- by someone who always chooses his words and phrases so very carefully, especially when he lies. And no, I don't trust Domocrat/Republican Specter as far as I could throw him.

[mware]

Just speculation here, but if Rummy ordered them not to testify, I have to think he knew the media would be all over this story now, demanding answers.

Could this be the way he is getting the media to jump on the story???

Shays ain't worth a pitcher of warm pee... he was one of the few Congressmen who went to the Ford Building to see the Broaddrick rape testimony on Bubba. After reading it, he cried... and promptly voted NOT to impeach.

[Republican Red]

Maybe it's stategery on Rumsfeld's part.

If the Bush Administration stops a witness then the media will be interested. Sucker them in, get plenty of coverage on the evil Bush plot and then have the Pentagon backtrack allowing the witness to testify.

I can dream. lol

May - June 2000 data was deleted. The data was deleted based on the regulations that require all data be destroyed within 90 days. An Army regulation.

My experience is that this would apply to any program that has been terminated. Waivers are possible but not automatic. So the real destroyer of the data is the person who killed the program. That triggers the regulation that ends up destroying the data. The key here is not who ordered the destruction (some Army lawyer) but who ordered the program killed.

Do we know who killed the program?

FBI agent, Gary Bald, is basically saying: Don't look at what we did then, see what we are doing now.

This is beginning to stink to high heaven.
