It appears to me that blame rests not so much with the Clinton administration as with the Pentagon's propensity for cover-ups when their high-ups screw up.

"... someone at the staff level on the 9/11 Commission staff decided for whatever reason that they did not want to pursue the Abel Danger story."


In Weldon's interview with Rush in the Limbaugh Letter - Weldon uses the term "her and her staff".

I believe he's referring to Gorelick. She was in charge of the staff of the 9/11 commission.

It's another one of those areas where the repubs dropped the ball. They allowed the woman who wrote the "wall" to control what was in the report. Which was the reason Daschle recommended her for the position in the first place.

Able Danger is the loose piece of yarn that when pulled unravels the whole carpet.

THere is so much here, here, it is scarry.

You nailed the point.

This should be investigated and evaluated without regard to political partisanship, however impossible that may seem.

What a great job Weldon has done, a true patriot!

I realized last night that Mr. Weldon's passion and honesty are what's missing from the Republican party these days.

Amen!

...Administrations are interchangeable then, the apparatus for ineptness and stupidity spans them all...

Why isn't Bush pursuing this? He can put a Koran in the Whitehouse, but not look for the truth in this? I'm concerned that this may have some biblical significance. We must be ready.

Well .. I agree with the link. OKC was connected to 9/11 - but the dems have hidden it.

However, I have been praying this scripture for months and months: Mark 4:22 - There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light. (Amp)

It may not be exposed as fast as we'd like it to happen - but I believe it will be fully exposed - and Clinton will be totally destroyed. I just keep praying it happens BEFORE there's any chance of Hillary getting back in the WH.

Mark Zaid Confirms Weldon
In an e-mailed response to a couple of quick questions I sent last night, Mark Zaid confirmed what Rep. Curt Weldon alleged in a floor speech and multiple media appearances last night about the DIA's treatment of LTC Tony Shaffer. Zaid, who has represented Shaffer during the Able Danger controversy, wrote the following (emphases mine):

CQ: Have you heard that the DIA intends on firing Col. Shaffer?

MZ: Of course Ed, I'm handling his security clearance issues. They have moved for his indefinite suspension without pay even before we have concluded his appeal. I have had other DIA clients facing the same appeal circumstances but DIA did not suspend them without pay, at least to the best of my recollection.

CQ: Did they [DIA] send him classified documents mixed in with his personal effects?

MZ: They did send him classified documents and govt property. In fact, they sent the boxes to my office!

CQ: Have they accused him of adultery with a staff member of Weldon's?

MZ: Early on DoD (or possibly DIA, we don't know) was spreading unfounded gossip about an alleged romance. That died fast.

Zaid didn't elaborate further, but I think we can expect more fireworks soon from the Able Danger issue. Hopefully, the focus will return to the more substantive issues about what the program found and who kept it buried. Based on the desperate and incompetent manner in which the DIA has attempted to smear and discredit Tony Shaffer, there seems to be quite a story that the American people should know.

If you want to, ping your list and let them know that Weldon will be on with Hannity today.... Not sure when, but if you want me to, I'll ping you when he says he's coming up next....

I appreciate your efforts. Thanks for your post.

I've just spent the past hour e-mailing several people in DC urging them to support Rep. Weldon's "Able Danger" efforts.

Will there be a separate live thread for the Hannity show? Or will it continue on this thread?
