I don't get McKinney. Since when does she do anything IN FAVOR of our country?
I am sure in Cynthia McKinney's pea brain, she sees this as a way to get AT the U S Government....
Even if there isn't a tie to Bush...it is a tie to the Defense Dept while Bush is POTUS...so, she is probably doing the right thing for the WRONG reason...LOL
>>>I don't get McKinney. Since when does she do anything IN FAVOR of our country?<<<
She could have ulterior motives. She knows that this can bring down Rumsfeld, and even the presidency, if Rummy or Bush tries to cover this up. And if there is a coverup, she wants her place in the history books.
Because she knows this story will never be about Clinton, where it belongs. She knows the story will only be allowed to be about Bush and Rummy and losing to Al Queda... which is where this is going.
McKinney would only be involved if she thinks she can charge "cover up" against the Bush administration. She may be in for a very rough surprise. I'm still of the opinion that Rumsfeld and others are simply trying let the MSM clamor for release of info because it will look so bad for the Clintonistas that if the DOD just released it without a lot of MSM pressure they would be accused of playing politics with classified info (it's a no-win situation, they'll be accused of all sorts of nasty things no matter what they do). Clearly there are career bureaucrats and probably also Clinton holdover appointees who are busy trying to savage Tony Shaffer and others from Able Danger, but I'm still expecting that Rumsfeld will do the right thing once he's clear on what's been going on and/or once the MSM pressure builds.
Of course, there might be some truly sensitive info of exceptional importance that would still be compromised if Able Danger info is released.... I'm not willing to totally rule out that there are people in the DOD who truly do think that it would not serve the national interest to have a huge document dump about data mining into the public arena, and maybe there are successor programs to Able Danger that would likely be exposed..... we don't know what we don't know, but on balance I have to agree with Weldon that it's of the utmost importance that Rumsfeld and others step up and set the facts straight on what happened with Able Danger.

Agree. I'll thank the rest, but I refuse to thank that dimwitted, biggoted, idiot (pardon my French) for anything. She's a racist JERK! The only reason I think she may be supporting it is 1) her #s are way down and she needs some face time on something big for election next year, 2) she's too dumb to realize most of this occurred during Bubba's and Hitlery's administration and think it will bring Bush & Co down, or 3) Nancy Lugosi told her to so there would be at least 1 Dim supporting it and if something comes out of it they can claim they were bipartisan.
