"Captain V" -- a blogger who is supposed to be very well wired into federal security agencies..."
That's where I sent a URL to you on another post. Voice of the Taciturn. Bump into this thread some time back from another link. One will notice he specifically makes mention that there is a chance that the stuff really did not get "wiped" as so many have purported.
Yes, thanks, I'd meant to comment on that -- I have read this guy a few times over the past couple of weeks, as he's been linked in several discussions of AD. He seems to be a current or former Military Intelligence guy, as far as I can tell (but I have no professional background in this area - I'm just an interested citizen!). Anyway, he does claim to have some inside 'connections'.... wouldn't we love to know who is heading for the exits, i.e., are they Clinton political appointees and/or if career people were they advanced by the Clintonistas in the way that Wesley Clark was popped up in rank over dozens of other general officers because Clinton needed a liberal "perfumed prince".....
