Ping! I don't know about everyone on that list, but these 4 are a pant-load of Clintonista NSC weasels for sure:
SANDY BERGER
TONY LAKE
DICK CLARKE
RAND BEERS
4 guys who have been screwing up so huge on our national security for years, and now they are starting their counter-attack against Weldon to try to end the exposure of their sins.
Where are Joe Wilson and Valerie Pflame? If they're not open sponsors of this I'd bet they're sure to be lurking in the background. Wilson was recruited to the Kerry campaign before he became an embarrassment, so he probably knows at least Rand Beers quite well - and once he had become a celebrity for the hate-Bush crowd he probably became big buddies with Sandy Burglar, Richard Clarke, & co. (if he wasn't already). Remember that Wilson also served for a stint on the Clintonista NSC.....
Let's not forget the charlatan Richard Clarke, who will soon be back in the news now that they are making a movie based upon his novel, er memoir..... "Against All Enemies"....... and don't forget that Rand Beers, best friend of Clarke, was the scumbag who left the NSC staff in time of war to run the national security team for the Kerry campaign.... the team which lined up lyin' Joe Wilson for a personal "politics of truth" (sic) website hosted by the Kerry campaign, until they had to take it down in a rush when Wilson's lies began to emerge.
We need to search out all linkages among these clowns - this is real self-appointed "shadow government" trying to "take back" control of national security matters (and cover up their own malfeasance). Why are the Clintonistas so anxious to try to knock off Rep. Weldon?? Couldn't be that the full exposure of ABLE DANGER would also expose their mendacious incompetence???
Did I see Harold Ickes' name in there?
It would be foolish to think these people would just slide under the pavement and never be heard of again. One can conjure up images of the Disney animated film, The Wind in the Willows, where the house full of weasels lived. Need I say more.
On October 24, 1995, President Clinton had a meeting with Chinese President Jiang Zemin in New York City. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Winston Lord (former deputy national security advisor under Henry Kissinger), National Security Advisor Anthony Lake (former State Department official under Henry Kissinger), Secretary Christopher and Robert Suettinger, Director of Asian Affairs for the National Security Council (NSC), joined them at the meeting. No one brought up China's theft of America's weapons designs during the discussion because, at this point, all five claim they had not yet been told.

November [1995]
CIA Director Deutch allegedly briefed NSC Director Anthony Lake about China's theft of America's nuclear weapon designs sometime in November 1995. The president, allegedly, still had not yet been informed. Lake later claimed he did not recall the briefing, but he and White House officials said there was a record of it.
Also in November, Attorney General Janet Reno, Defense Secretary Perry and FBI Director Louis Freeh allegedly learned of China's theft of all of America's nuclear weapons designs for the first time. Allegedly, no one informed the president.
SNIP
July [1996]
On July 3, President Clinton signed another waiver allowing an American satellite to be launched in China. He would sign another six days later.
On July 6, 1996, NSC Director Anthony Lake went to China.

Also on December 5 [1996], NSC Director Anthony Lake was named as acting CIA director to replace outgoing Director Deutch. During a routine check of outgoing CIA personnel, agents discovered Deutch brought 14,000 top secret government documents home and left them on an unsecured computer hooked up to the Internet. An investigation was immediately begun. Deputy CIA Director George Tenet failed to inform the FBI or Justice Department of his investigation for over a year. President Clinton pardoned Deutch on his last day in office.
Also on December 5, CNN reported Commerce official Melinda Yee threw away documents concerning the department's trade missions after a judge ordered they be turned over to Larry Klayman's Judicial Watch group.
On December 8, 1996, Gen. Chi attended a dinner at the National Defense University in Maryland. The dinner was hosted by Defense Secretary Perry and attended by Alexander Haig, Brent Scowcroft, Deputy Defense Secretary White, Joseph Nye, Sen. John Glenn (Democrat-Ohio), among others.
On December 9, Gen. Chi and Secretary Perry met with President Clinton at the White House. Allegedly, China's theft of America's nuclear weapons designs was never discussed. The president, allegedly, had still not yet been informed.
Chi and Perry then returned to the Pentagon and had a meeting with Ambassador James Sasser. Before leaving the US in mid-December, Gen. Chi was given a tour of Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico by Defense Secretary Perry. Lab security officials were given little advanced notice of the visit and Chi was not given a normal background check.

On March 13 [1997], Attorney General Janet Reno claimed she tried to inform Anthony Lake at the NSC about the FBI's information concerning China's attempt to influence America's elections back in June 1996, but did not because she "could not find him". She also said she did not tell President Clinton herself because she felt it was the job of the NSC. Sandy Berger replaced Lake as head of NSC the following day.
FBI Director Freeh told Congress his investigation into campaign finance irregularities was not focusing on individual criminal acts, but on a possible conspiracy involving a foreign government.
So we may well wonder if Berger's (and others') interest in opposing Weldon relates to Chinagate as well.
