Well, you can blame the Clinton Administration for its erroneous interpretation of the law, which led to the Able Danger information being destroyed. You can do that at the very least. Either get informed, or go back to DU.
I think we need to find out why the Able Danger information was destroyed in 2000.
we also need to find out why it was destroyed by the Pentagon in 2004, well after serious investigations had begun. In my opinion, this is very similar to Arthur Andersen destroying documents that might be needed for a pending investigation, but much, much worse because it involves critical questions of national security.
Go back to DU yourself, puppy.
Ask yourself this...if Able Danger was apparently so successful, and the evidence mounts for that issue...then why isn't the Pentagon moving back to it? And I think the answer here is that they found an awful lot of information out about various political parties in the process. The bribes, the hidden support...issues for both parties...probably tripped up the Pentagon management...and they knew they better drop this before they revealed just how bad our democracy is. If all this data on Atta was found...just take a guess how great it would be to have it operating today...and yet we don't move in that direction. Why? There has to be a answer here that folks don't want to hear.
