This is disgusting! I believe Able Danger to be one of the Most important stories that needs to be told!
I do not understand why people such as Hannity, Rush, Oreily, etc. do not do a story on this and expose the dirty dealing going on!!
You would think that this would be a very juicy story!!
The FIX must me on??
Weldon claims the Pentagon cherry-picked testimony and trashed the reputations of witnesses, but "the report said those accounts 'varied significantly' and witnesses were inconsistent at times in their statements".
Seems like you and Weldon are doing the cherry picking.
Clinton has been out of office for 6 years and Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have been in charge. These guys blame everyone else for their mistakes. It is not credible that they would cover up for Clinton administration when they are in dire need of a scapegoat or distraction from their own failures.
As for Able Danger's massive data collection, the problem is that they collected so much data that they couldn't process it to produce actionable intelligence.
By way of example, it's as though they had the entire phonebook for Saudi Arabia, and some of the hijackers were in their lists.
The donors to Sestak campaign are more expert in National Security than their replacements in the Bush adminstration. It hardly requires an agenda or a conspiracy to back a Congressional candidate that approaches National Security with calm reason and understanding.
Weldon has a long history of buying into third-rate informants that have been discredited. Anyone remember Weldon claiming his source told him Bin Laden was dead last March?
BTW, I fixed my typo on http://www.pa7watch.com/ so feel free to edit your use of "[sic]" and put in the corrected spelling of desperate.
Nice to know Pa7Watch site is worry Weldon enough to be referenced dismissively by your blog, but a link to my full posting would have been nice.
Yeah right. And I guess the current inspector general of the Pentagon is also a "Clintonista"
Weldon is a certified liar. There was noone in the US government who could identify Atta and Shehhi as al Qaeda operatives and only a few in the NSA, the CIA and the FBI who could identify
Midhar and Hazmi prior to 9/11.
But the FBI didn't get the info on Midhar and Hazmi from your allmighty
Able Danger. They got it from the CIA. On Bush's watch in May, 2001.
Nevermind that Bush failed to ask a single question from the FBI about al Qaeda operatives in the US throughout the entire summer of 2001 despite that the "system was blinking red"
Your idiot Bush screwed it. Plain and simple. He screwed it because he knew nothing about al Qaeda or counter-terrorism. And he knew nothing because he didn't learn anything. And he didn't learn anything because he is an abnormally incurious lazy little fratboy who never had to work hard for anything he has received in life just wait for others to pull him out of his own shit.
The poster above says that nobody could recognize Atta as an Al Qaeda operative.
I just read that the CIA was watching him while he was in Germany.
I don't know the truth about Able Danger, but I took a look at Weldon's book. I thought his Iranian informant story was ridiculous.
I am Republican, but Curt Weldon trashed Stephen Kappes as some liberal and an idiot. I don't think anyone in the CIA thinks that.
I remember the Clinton years. The Republicans hounded him for going after Bin Laden.
I am sick of people using the intelligence for partisan purposes.
It's been well documented the military cuts that we suffered under Clinton & Carter, there's no running away from that no matter how hard you may try.
It's also been well documented Clinton's lack of being able to pull the trigger on his friend Osama and his other furry little friends.
It's time for the Moveon.org fax readers to find new bs to leave behind. Had Clinton & Carter been more concerned about doing their jobs instead of worrying about their individual legacies: Carter's being I asked my daughter to make a policy decision" and Clinton's being he never found an intern he couldn't resist because Hilliary turned him away, the world as we know it today would be an entirely different far more peacefull place.
You've got your walking papers don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
