MacRanger (who is-Former Career Military (logistics, intelligence) reports:
Early today I watched the 'Spector House' Able Danger hearings on CSPAN.
I watched closely, because at 8am, my cell was buzzing, a call from a friend. I had asked him to get some clarification on Shaffer's story that Rummy told 'em not to testify. The word I got from him was that contrary to popular knowledge, Rummy didn't pull the plug on the witnesses, it came from "Cobweb", which is just a little - OK, a lot higher up the chain.
Here's what I know. Spector is being "allowed" this little foray basically to keep Weldon quiet. Like I said before, "Give him his hearing and maybe he'll go away". There are people - active - who want this to go away and how the power to make it go away.
I know that everyone is clamering for more and indeed you have some of the families of 9/11 victims and others demanding answers. But unless the WH walls come crumbling down, it isn't going to happen. The MSM isn't picking up on the story (a little CIA/MSM/CYA going on IMHO), thus the majority of the public isn't catching on - thus no interest outside of bloggers and the principles.
So my take is that we'll have more 'revelations', 'hearings, etc, but that's about it. Weldon's book will sell a lot of copies.
The fact is that - and catch my drift - there are people that feel that keeping the truth at bay is better at this time than to "let it all hang out."
A sham, yeah. Incredible, yeah that too. But it won't be the first time and it's likely not to be the last.
Just my two cents.
This story is too complicated for the MSM to follow. If it can't be easily digested, broken down in a 15 - 25 inch story or a 10 sec. sound bite, then they'll just go to the latest footage of flooding in New Orleans.
A lot higher on the food chain means the White House?
bttt
Even the Weekly World News wouldn't insult the intelligence of its readers by publishing this nonsense.
Give it to us in crayon..

Got about 300 of these bumps, and there's a kernel of truth in every one.
They'll distill something, over time, when finally pieced together.
Curious why you're so sensitive. Is it the cobweb word got you so worked up?
Well, that about says it all. Maybe they'll have closed door hearings and some good will come of it....but likely we'll never know.
I'll tell ya one thing though, if the govt. can squash something like this, then I'm inclined to believe we really DO have a UFO and dead aliens at Area 51. Only 1/2 joking when I say that.
I must be missing something. Where at the referenced URL and supplied hyperlinks laced in the comment fields does anyone actually show proof cobweb is Cheney?
"This story is too complicated for the MSM to follow."
I agree.
That is way overpriced.
" Curious why you're so sensitive. Is it the cobweb word got you so worked up?"
Perhaps their arachniphoba.
Heh, heh.
