This story seems to be going nowhere. Even CSPAN wouldn't broadcast the hearing (although someone posted that they did broadcast it around 3 a.m. Friday/Saturday)

Even the major 'conservative' talk shows seemed to avoid it or just give it cursory mention.

Snow spent the first 10 minutes of his radio Friday on a Cheney shooting parody. Ironically, when he went to the phones, the first 2 callers chastised him for spending time beating that dead-horse story instead of covering more 'real' news, such as Able Danger.

The Clintons have a contender for Weldon's House seat. If they can defeat Weldon, they know they can bury this story. Weldon seems to be the only major one pursuing it. Even all those Reps who signed his letter asking for the hearings didn't bother to attend the hearings.

Is it just me, or does Curt Weldon sound defeated in this interview?

It must get tiring to know you have spent so much time and effort to do something to protect the public only to find out they really don't give a damn. The people want to hear about how the White House failed to connect the dots, not stories about how they actually did...oh, and stories about movie stars of course.

"Is it just me, or does Curt Weldon sound defeated in this interview?"
Weldon walks on ground he is not supposed to. The China stuff would be enough given the right backing to put Slicko and many others on his staff before a firing squad for starters. It appears one cannot seperate the two issues, all the China stuff as your links show, the reason the AD project got canned, due to the two happening basically in concurrent form. A truely through all inclusive investigation would have to place Slicko and his sickos on the dock for treason. GWB and others do not want him charged with treason and hung.

I find it hard to believe Able Danger would have been shut down during a Clinton Administration for bringing in Condi Rice. However, IIRC, from another discussion here at FR on this subject, there was another Rice as Stanford at the time who did have close ties to the Democrats and Clinton.
