Wow, Mike, great reporting-AWESOME!!
That is just TOO COOL, Mike.
Slightly OT, Mike, but I've seen references, both here and on a couple other blogs, that the original Able Danger test project to document technology transfer to China, revealed the name of Condoleeza Rice (among others) while she was still Provost at Stanford. It's been alluded to that this was the reason, or at least one of the reasons that the project was scuttled. I've not seen it even speculated on as to the significance or context in which Dr. Rice's name emerged. Do you have any thoughts on this? Also, please correct any misconceptions I may have about this. The more info you and others uncover, the more fascinating this story gets, especially for someone like me who was assigned to NSA on 4 different occasions between 1971 and 1989.
Mike!! What can I say, but THANK YOU, again for all your work on bringing more and more things to light on Able Danger.
A friend of mine works for a newspaper, and I have spoken with him about Able Danger. He suggested that perhaps a "Letter to the Editor" in one's local newspaper, could help, as most people read them. Of course you wouldn't have to limit it to just the local newspapers.
Anyone have any idea or other ideas how to get the word out?
Again, Mike, a huge THANK YOU, for all you do!!!
Very interesting stuff. Thanks!
PS- Other idea's-find a reporter who has listening skills and tell him or her about Able Danger.
Explain it really isn't every day people put their good jobs on the line, just cuz...and they should do the right thing and pay attention.
Prissy, been there, done that. Have 3 editors of small newspapers following abledanger blog, etc, but none seem to have the backbone to put anything in the paper. That is why the person suggested the "letters to the editor" as they will normally let those go into the paper.
I do think it has a lot to do with the politics. This is a VERY Red state, and even though it puts Able Danger in the laps of both Democrats and Republicans, they just don't want to touch it. I did ask if they would just do "a small column on the back page"....that went over like a lead balloon. I didn't even receive an answer, so I left their offices.
Word is that Sandy Berger is hosting a fundraiser for Weldon's opponent in Washington, D.C. very soon. It looks as if the Clinton-nites are rallying around Weldon's opponent as a backlash for taking the Clinton (and Bush) administration to task on Able Danger. Just last week, John Kerry sent out an email to millions of his contacts from his donor database to help Weldon's opponent raise almost 70k. The march is on to attack Weldon for uncovering the truth...
