Ladies and gentlemen, the next "THIS time we've got him!!!!" thread on DU.
Bump for Able Danger.
"We have information that will be testified to under oath that there were attempts to transfer information to the FBI on at least three occasions, and on all three of those occasions in September of 2000, lawyers within the administration denied those meetings from taking place," he said.
Ummmm...Refresh my memory. WHO was President in September 2000? It sure as hell wasn't George W. Bush.
What is with the Australian press?
Reporting on this fringe trivia when we have a constitutional crisis
over a blood-lust, shotgun shootin' Dick Cheney?!?!
Seriously, I think the MSM here in the USA is just about to get a
bit of a backlash. They've done nothing but obsess over a couple of
stay shotgun pellets and are devoting chunks of the ex-new program
that is still called "NightLine" to the atrocity committed by Cheney:
not calling the major news offices himself with the story.
Before taking his wounded buddy to the hospital.
bump for later
"We have information that will be testified to under oath that there were attempts to transfer information to the FBI on at least three occasions, and on all three of those occasions in September of 2000, lawyers within the administration denied those meetings from taking place, he said."
The date doesn't make sense.
Bush wasn't elected until Nov., and he was sworn in in January of 2001. The Clintons were too busy carting off the White House furnishings and pardoning drug dealers and contributors to the Clinton Presidential Library fund.to fully brief the incoming President..and their outgoing staffs were busy ruining the office computers and writing graffiti on Inauguration day.
MSM alert! lol- Look how they're trying to spin this now.
The DC elite must be starting to sweat, the Able Danger scandal is finally starting to break...of course they're going to cast blame at Bush as if this didn't go back to Clinton. They still disrespect the power of the new media. We know the truth, and if they run with this story, soon the rest of America will too!
AFTER the fact it's always EASY to put it all together. If you have NOTHING on him but suspicion, there's nothing you can do.

From my files:
Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, wrote to all DIA personnel this week to explain the protest resignation of a DIA analyst in October. The analyst, Kie Fallis, quit the day after the USS Cole was attacked by suicide bombers in Aden, Yemen. Mr. Fallis charged that a report he had written on the threat of a terrorist attack in Yemen was suppressed by senior DIA officials.Mr. Fallis also uncovered terrorist info related to 9/11:Mr. Fallis' resignation letter stated that he had "significant analytic differences" with DIA superiors over a terrorist threat assessment produced in June.
U.S. intelligence officials said there were warnings, but they arrived too late. The National Security Agency issued a report shortly after the Cole was bombed warning of attacks in the region —too late to be useful.
Adm. Wilson said he asked the Pentagon inspector general (IG) to investigate Mr. Fallis' charges. In an awkwardly worded statement, the three-star admiral said on Wednesday the IG "found no evidence to support the public perception that information warning of an attack on Cole was suppressed, ignored or even available in DIA." What about the private perception?
The admiral's statement drew smirks from several intelligence officials. It relied on a dodge often used by intelligence analysts to dismiss unwelcome information. Saying there is "no evidence" —like that presented to a court of law — is often used to mask the fact there is lots of intelligence to the contrary that spooks would rather not talk about in public.
One piece of the puzzle that Mr. Fallis uncovered was an intelligence report about a secret meeting of al Qaeda terrorists in a condominium complex in Malaysia in January 2000.Information obtained after September 11 identified two of them as Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who would be on American Airlines Flight 77 when it crashed into the Pentagon. They met with a former Malaysian army captain, Yazi Sufaat, described by Malaysian authorities as a key link in Southeast Asia for al Qaeda, who later would be tied to the bombing of the Cole.
What alarmed U.S. intelligence at the time was that Malaysian security officials traced the men to the Iranian Embassy there, where they spent the night.
The motel owner said that Moussaoui and a man who appeared to be Marwan al-Shehhi -- who helped crash a jetliner into the south tower of the World Trade Center -- were friendly and said a few things, but Atta was clearly the leader. "He did most of the talking and seemed very serious," said the owner, adding, "I was standing face to face, about two feet away from Atta, and talked to the three of them for about 10 minutes. Atta asked if he could rent one of the other rooms at a weekly rate, and I told him no.
"I asked him what they were doing here in the area. And Atta told me they were going to flight school. I thought he meant [Federal Aviation Administration] training in Oklahoma City. But Atta told me no, they were taking flight training in Norman.
bttt
This date is significant!
Now, also, might be a good time to take a new look at the circumstances surrounding other failures of that Administration to take measures to assure airlines safety and to prevent terrorist attacks following TWA 800, as outlined here.
"We have information that will be testified to under oath that there were attempts to transfer information to the FBI on at least three occasions, and on all three of those occasions in September of 2000, lawyers within the administration denied those meetings from taking place," he said.
Somebody has got to get their time line straightened out. GW Bush became president in January of 2001, and even at that his transition team was denied access for all of November of 2000.
