It is old, and the Pentagon has already changed its mind and will allow them to testify.
All I want to know the name of the officer who ordered the destruction of records.
"It is old, and the Pentagon has already changed its mind and will allow them to testify."
That is not as clear as you seem to think it is. Testimony was scheduled for October 5. It has now been delayed under cloudy circumstances.
"Arlen Specter needs to subpoena those five witnesses, all of the senior officers in the chain of command for Able Danger, and Donald Rumsfeld himself to answer for why the Pentagon will not cooperate."
Be careful what you wish for
"This is a story which Republicans should back away from. This is a can of worms you don't want opened. Rumsfeld is doing the right thing, and he could use our support."
The can is already opened, the American public opened it when they elected the Clintons and apparently there were far too many publicans that got into bed with the sleaze balls.
Just HOW BAD IS IT?????
And why's that? Please share with the group.
To put it simply:
A person stated, "I heard Osama say 1 + 1 = 3"
If clinton said it, nobody would believe it - or at the best view it with high suspicions and it would be easily overlooked and forgotten. Who cares?
If NSA said it, it IS irrefutable - Osama would be looking very close at who was around when he said it ---- Goodbye source!
THAT is the difference in what makes classified information.

To the point. The politicos of Washington, a class now onto themselves, are doing everything they can to HIDE THE FACTS that would most likely implicate not only Clinton and his accomplices but MANY OTHERS in the Washington cartel. It became clear when the formation details of the 9/11 commission was formed and how they put Gorellick on the panel, to prevent her being called as a witness.
Egg all over Washington's face...and the ghosts of 3000 dead Americans are watch and hoping that finally the real truth about the total complicity of Washington will be revealed -- I am not holding my breath.
"This is a can of worms you don't want opened."
Ooooooooooooooo. mysterious. give me a break.
Any government that only pulls an Assistant Secretary of State's clearance for 3 years after he steals secrets in his socks, and then pulls a 20 year active Colonel's clearance for life after he blows the lid on this, means a government that isn't fit to run the nation. Blow it out your pukin a$$. Let the chips fall where they may. I guess you were there when Kennedy decided to not help the cubans overthrow castro, because it was too seeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeensitive.
Gorelick Wall

Very bad.
Able Danger, OKC, TWA800, etc...
Big Rummy / "W" fan here but I'd like to know WTH is going on too.
Then count on it coming out the worst most twisted way possible.
That's interesting. We should back away from trying to find out why terrorists were identified on Clinton's watch and nothing was done about it? We should back away from wanting to understand why the murderers of Americans were allowed to do their work while the government *knew* they were here?
Really.
They will again change their minds when it comes time to testify in October.
Bet on it.

It is fascinating how far other posters are willing to let the gov't go in the name of partisan politics, isn't it?
I think if Curt Weldon, who no doubt, has security clearance, knew these matters were covered up for good and very real reasons, rather than political cover for Clinton, he would be a good soldier and never have brought it out, or he would fall on the sword. Don't you think so?
I am basically with you on these matters. The exception is if some people working for us would be in danger if certain information gets into the Arab street. The problem with that theory is that 3,000 Americans are already dead, a coverup has been perpetrated and any confidence in the government to bring forth a reasoned explaination was flushed with production of the 9/11 Commission Report, and the 19 Arabs are dead. In a lame political attempt to cover something up the 9/11 commmissions report only fuel the fires of speculation with its commissioners behaving and lying the way they have regarding Able Danger as an entity they say did not exist. Now, no one moderately versed in these matters believe a damn thing they said. It is the same with the cartoon the FBI created showing a ridiculous caricature of the destruction of flight 800. No one believed them then and they don't believe them now. This type of erosion of confidence in the federal government is extremely dangerous in itself. But what are thinking people to believe. Treat us like adults. Tell me the truth and I can deal with it. Tell me lies and I will never believe a g**damn thing you ever say. That is where we are in this Able Danger game.
