A quick question:
Have there been any real important breaking news stories related to Able Danger since the original story? There have been so many articles, a lot of the overlaps, and its getting difficult to keep track of.
Basically all I am seeing is members of the 911 commission and the Clintons squirming and flipflopping all over the place trying to BS Weldon's story.
See 18. The appearance of LtCol. Schaefer is a new and important development as have been the hedging and corrections
of the 911 Commission. If Schaefer's story holds up, this will be a big story.
That's what makes this site interesting--the contributions of all the posters who have relevant info to add. You're welcome.
Hehe. You have good recall on that stuff. Government is so friggin arrogant, this info will fade into a memory hole. Count on it! Only the kooky right will be harping on it.
Well, considering the main people taking this seriously are those on talk radio and this board, a few of these blogs and 'prominent conservatives' all over TV are going to have to do penance for running away from Weldon, the story and those who wouldn't back down.
Actually today's NYT and SF Chroncicle are carrying Shaeffer's story tonight. Podhoretz has backed off, instapundit says there's some 'splaining to be done, etc. We're off to the races.
That's my point.
After crawling under a rock trying to distance, suddenly they are back on board. IMO, they have to do penance for their actions the last couple of days. Good to have them back onboard (sort of) but their behavior isn't easily excused.
The conservatives that stuck their necks out on this, Weldon and those coming forward deserve the true KUDOS.
I have no idea how far this will go, but the Truth should be the main objective for any conservative.
Toss this report onto the trash heap, right along with the others. As soon as he went on TV, he was no longer an anonymous source and this report is no longer news.
An Able Danger story is finally on DRUDGE. I can't believe it took him so long.
