I cant wait!
Does it strike any of you in an odd manner that Rush spent a whopping 3-5 minutes on Weldon today at the very end of his show. His boy wonder Sean Hannity maybe spent 10 minutes tops with Weldon. This story is bigger than anything we've experienced in my memory and our buds have this little to say about it? Flame away, but this is BS.

May 2000-Late September 2000: Defense Agency Analyst Assembles Unheeded Attack Warning; Able Danger Information May Be One Source
Kie Fallis, a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) terrorism intelligence analyst, has been gathering evidence of an upcoming al-Qaeda attack or attacks. In 2002, he will describe to the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry a research process similar to what Able Danger is using at the same time: “I began to notice there was a voluminous amount of information, as others have testified, regarding al-Qaeda. Most of it appeared to be unrelated to other pieces of information. It appeared to be almost chat. By using a piece of [commercial software called ‘Analyst's Notebook’] I was able to put these small snippets of information into, and graphically represent them as well, I was able to, over a course of many months, to determine certain linkages between these items—linkages that would never be apparent without the use of this tool. It would be lost in the weeds. And there were a lot of weeds to look through.” [Washington Times, 8/26/02; 9/11 Congressional Inquiry, 10/8/02] In his research, he claims to find links between al-Qaeda and Iranian intelligence. By May 2000, he writes a classified report on his conclusion that “terrorists were planning two or three major attacks against the United States. The only gaps were where and when.” Apparently, he envisions at least one of these attacks will use a small boat to blow up a US warship. However, the DIA has already issued a report concluding that such a method of attack would be impossible to carry out successfully, and the agency sticks by this assessment. A video message put out by bin Laden in mid-September convinces Fallis that an al-Qaeda attack will happen in the next month or two.(see Mid-September 2000). Shortly after learning about this message, Fallis reaches “the ‘eureka point’ ... in determining an impending terrorist attack.” This comes “from a still-classified intelligence report in September 2000, which he will not discuss.” [Washington Times, 8/26/02] This may be a reference to a lead by the Able Danger team on increased al-Qaeda activity in Yemen at this time (see Late September 2000), and/or it may refer to other intelligence leads. Fallis goes to his supervisor and asks that at least a general warning of an attack in the Middle East be issued. He hopes such a warning will at least put US military forces in the region on a higher alert. His superior turns him down, and other superiors fail to even learn of his suggested warning. The USS Cole will be successfully attacked in the port of Aden, Yemen, by a small boat of terrorists on October 12, 2000 (see October 12, 2000) . [Washington Times, 8/26/02] One day after the Cole attack, Fallis will resign in protest. According to Sen. John Warner (R),“What [Fallis] felt is that his assessment was not given that proper level of consideration by his superiors and, as such, was not incorporated in the final intelligence reports provided to military commanders in the [Middle East region].” [CNN, 10/25/00]
People and organizations involved: Kie Fallis, al-Qaeda, Able Danger, Osama bin Laden, Iran, John W. Warner
Only thing I can think of is, maybe they want to be 100% sure of facts before they're all over it? Not good enough I know, but it's all I come up with.
Why isnt i Dont see anything on Matt Drudges Drudge Report about Able Danger?? Especially about the USS Cole. I dont know about him lately.
It really bothers me, too, that Savage rescinded his invitation to Freeh to be on his show...don't understand it!

I TOTALLY AGREE!
I hope you're right. Rush spending so little time on it doesn't make any sense.
eddie, I concur!
Why aren't all the talking-heads and conservative pundits SHOUTING about this?!
That's the only thing I could come up with. Rush is meticulous with facts, although I do know he spent time with Weldon for his newsletter interview. Who knows? This entire thing is both amazing and frightening.

I didn't know that Savage did that...
Boy, and Savage seems like the perfect show for him...huh?
If Levin Doesnt bring up Able Danger someone should call and make sure he does! The truth needs to get out about this!
Thanks for the ping, just got home and caught Weldon on the radio, all 10 minutes of it. I hope Mark gives it some coverage like only he can do.
I only listen to Savage if I'm in my car and the entire time I listen to him I say,"This guy is nuts" and then I agree with him.
I'm just weird,I guess.
Thanks for the ping.
You're welcome.
