Rep Weldon to give major House Floor speech on Able Danger momentarily; ON CSPAN NOW
CSPAN ^ | October 19, 2005

Posted on 10/19/2005 4:59:18 PM PDT by TomGuy

Rep. Kirt Weldon is on Michael Savage's radio program, and he is implying Rumsfeld is the one blocking further investigation into Able Danger.

Weldon is fuming; says he personally (in a committee hearing) asked Rumsfeld about the investigation being blocked. Rumsfeld replied that he would 'get back to Weldon with a response.' Weldon says he still has gotten nothing from Rumsfeld.

Weldon to give a speech in a few moments this evening on the floor of the House. It should be aired on CSPAN this evening.

Yes, it is. All we want is the truth, and yes, we can handle it. Who is it that can't?

Sometimes it doesn't serve any purpose to tell the whole world that we got tangled up in our own red tape.

If Rumsfeld is blocking release of information I'm okay with it.

What are we going to do if we know the truth ?
Demand a big investigation ?
Pass a lot of new laws ?
Waste a lot of valuable time ?
It is over, the milk is spilled. All we can accomplish at this point is giving the critics a bat to hit the administration over the head with.

Slash and burn; the politics of personal destruction.

It seems the Pentagon is using that tactic against Lt. Col. Shaeffer.

Weldon met with another Able Danger official! He has impeccable credentials.

Weldon said he couldn't give the name in public, but would gladly tell any of his House colleagues in private. He said once they hear the name of the person, they would agree that the person has impeccable credentials and is believable.

I am uninformed about Able Danger, but is he talking about another Clinton screwup? and others Clinton placed in positions?

What I don't get is why this isn't gaining traction? Where are our own damned Republicans in the Senate and House who will take testimony from Able Danger staffers? It's infuriating.
