Curt Weldon: Gorelick Aide Blocked Able Danger Testimony
Newsmax.com ^ | 10/22/05 | unknown

Posted on 10/22/2005 6:00:53 AM PDT by beyond the sea

An aide to former Clinton Justice Department official Jamie Gorelick blocked the 9/11 Commission from hearing bombshell testimony about the findings of the elite Able Danger military intelligence team, Rep. Curt Weldon said late Friday.

"The person who debriefed [Able Danger analyst] Scott Philpot was, in fact, the lead staffer for Jamie Gorelick," Weldon told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "His name was Dieter Snell."

Weldon contended: "It was Dieter Snell who did not brief the 9/11 Commission. The 9/11 Commissioners were never briefed on Able Danger."

Gorelick was the lead Democrat on the 9/11 Commission.

Weldon said Able Danger team members have been "gagged" by the Pentagon and by Defense Intelligence Agency leaders who stand to be embarrassed by their revelations.

"The Defense Intelligence Agency has people who were held over from the previous administration," he told Fox News. "They were there when [Able Danger] brought forward this information."

The Pennsylvania Republican said that besides identifying Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as terrorist threats, Able Danger had warned of the impending attack on the U.S.S. Cole.

"Two weeks before the attack on the U.S.S. Cole," he told "Hannity & Colmes, "they sensed that something was about to happen in Yemen. Two days before the attack on the Cole - and the arrival of the Cole in harbor - they warned that the ship should not enter the harbor."

"This information needs to be brought to the public," Weldon said. "We lost 3,000 people here. This cannot be covered up. This is 3,000 times worse than Watergate."

Seems to me the dilemma here is to publicly address what was the norm in the previous administration without informing the enemy as to what the methods and procedures now being used to prevent future attacks.

........ and you fill in what you want for Cigarman!

I remember the pics of him celebrating with a cigar, while in Puerto Rico (i think), after the impeachment vote.

As a cigar smoker, myself, I don't want to see him considered as a representative...

I would prefer to just see them hanged from the White House balcony, along with Bernie and all the rest of their slimy, smarmy, friends...all traitors.

This really spotlights our MSM... the idiots who still get their news from this corrupt, archaic cabal would be better served getting their daily updates from Kofi Annan and the UN Security Council.

Last night on NBC, it was 20 minutes into the nightly news before they mentioned the Bush/Hariri assasination/Syria/UN story. The big story was Delay & Rove.

Only FOXNews has given airtime to the Weldon/Able Danger story... few newspapers touch it, save for the Washington Times. They all know that Gorelick is up to her neck in this... and that their beloved, 9/11 Commission was nothing but a high-priced whitewash!

It all comes down to 'the prime directive'... that America's, 'couple-from-hell', must be protected at all costs.

Weldon is doing a decent job on this

Yep ... and the Holdovers can't hide, cause this ain't going away

The 9/11 Commission was a JOKE .. we all said it at the time and the truth is coming out why

And I'll betcha Bennie Vista played a role in this cover up also

From the article:

"Jamie S. Gorelick was more intimately involved than previously thought with hampering communications between U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement agencies fighting terrorism." ----

But, tell us why she was intimately involved!

Yeh? Where is the truth coming out? What percentage of Americans are learning the truth of this? The answer is .....VERY DAMN FEW.....thanks to the the old lying media and nearly every lying rat politician on BOTH sides of the aisle!

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Sandy "Burglar" gets nothing for STEALING and DESTROYING classified information, yet they are trying to indict two men (Rove and Libby) for a NON-crime. Rove and LIbby, if charged for anything, did NOTHING illegal. The Plame/Wilson investigation should have stopped a year ago when it was discovered that no law was broken. Instead, Rove/Libby face indictment for a non-crime. It's incredible to me that no Republicans in the House or Senate will stand up and point out the differences in treatment of these two cases! In fact, you don't hear ANY republican outrage on Sandy Burglar.

No kidding. Every member of that lying committee was there for the same single reason.......

Coverup

But remember -- this is not just about Clinton/Gorelick ....... this is about ALL of our lying and compromised politicians and bureaucrats.

Sure...

but it's more of a low-tek version of The Matrix... with tons of bugs and idiots-at-the-work-stations. Since perfection is decades away, look for them to eradicate the competition.

On Wilson/Plame/Leakgate..................................

To me that whole thing has Hillary's fingerprints all over it. Remember when she "fudged" things when she was involved in writing up the articles of impeachment for Nixon?

***

From http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/benshapiro/2003/06/19/169878.html

Hillary Clinton cut her teeth on the Watergate scandal. As a counsel for the House Judiciary Committee impeachment inquiry staff, she made it her mission to topple President Nixon. Hillary helped drafted a document that would provide the legal basis for three articles of impeachment. The House Judiciary Committee's former chief counsel, Jerome Zeifman, later revealed that the Hillary-penned document changed the existing impeachment protocols in order to burn Nixon. According to Clinton biographer David Maraniss, Hillary believed Nixon was "evil."

Can you just imagine how that empowered her when the results of her fraud worked so well and Nixon left office?

I have read at least a dozen books on that woman, and from way back in her childhood she has felt that she is morally above all of us. She thinks any "intrigue" in which she takes part is ok, because in her mind she is morally right. This whole Wilson/Plame/Grunwald/Cooper vendetta smells quite a lot like a black pantsuit. She is doing now what she did to Nixon, imo. Grunwald/Cooper/Wilson/Plame/Miller/etc. - what a crowd.
