Captain V's advice is valid for all non-compromised intel agencies and government commissions.
However, Captain V's advice is invalid for those commissions and intel agencies that are *actively* subverting the U.S.
For the 9/11 Congressional Commission, for instance, not only was it caught lying that it "didn't know" about Able Danger, but it was caught lying that it was only 2 Military Intel agents whose Able Danger information was disregarded "because it didn't align with any other data."
Because not only did the 2 military intel officers tell the 9/11 Commission about the 4 known (prior to 9/11 via Able Danger) hijackers, but Richard Clarke himself told the 9/11 Commission that the FBI knew of 2 of the 19 9/11 hijackers operating in the U.S. prior to 9/11/2001.
So the 9/11 Commission LIED about "not knowing," lied about why they dismissed the intel from the 2 officers, and then lied again about Richard Clarke's ***public*** testimony to their Congressional panel!
Gorelick knew. The 9/11 Commission knew. They tried to spike hijacker revelation from the 2 different sources (Richard Clarke and the intel officers).
That's not innocent behavior. That's not merely a procedural problem or an institutional problem or groupthink.
That's active subversion.
And it's active subversion that just adds to the subversion hoisted upon us via the Gorelick Wall.
Lets also not forget all of the public leaks that our intel agencies keep springing.
Lets remember that National Security Advisor Berger was caught shredding classified documents.
Lets remember that Valerie Plame was actively scheming to bring down our President by rigging up left-wing-insider "intel" gathering in Niger.
Lets remember that our intel agencies tried to trick our President into using the French-forged Niger WMD documents.
This is all treason. This is WHY our intel agencies are being cleaned up by Porter Goss and John Negroponte, and it is why the Left is scrambling and screaming thusly.
do you see anyone from the administration speaking about this, escalating the calls for investigations? the so-called republican members of the 9-11 commission were obviously part of the coverup. why?
as Rush said today - both parties have a hand in protecting the "political class" from blame.
Thanks for this!
Sorry Hack, but there is no such thing anymore.
If WE can dig around and find and know the tip of the iceberg of all this diabolical and incestuous RAT conspiracy, imagine what W and the security team know and all the black filth we DON'T even know. If somebody in this admin. or the Justice Dept. doesn't start revealing and laying bare all this evil, I'm gonna scream!!!! The disgusting thing is the MSM and the RATS are going to go nuclear and scorched earth to to discredit and obstruct EVERYTHING this admin. tries to do to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. It is devastating to ponder .. truly.
Good post, thanks.
Thanks for the ping.
Oh Southack, thank you again and again for saying this and saying it so well. I was hearing, "Nobody's really responsible for this (or anything), it's just the system."
The "system" is what the people who run the system make it.
You left out the constant spewing of propaganda about the "findings" of this "Commission" by key " winteness" and even members of the the "Commission."
Notable among these folks has been Clarke himself, who not to long ago had an amazing piece of agit-prop that railed against the administration, the Iraq war and the WOT in general. He is foisted on used as some sort of expert and is some how supposed to be further validated as an "expert" by his performance as a "witness" in this affair>
So the subversion goes beyond what you have categorized: It is extends to what appears to be a planned, prolonged and willful attempt to mislead the nation out side of the confines proper of the ambit of that commissions rights, duties and obligations.
Also, you may want to add this to the running links, if not already pinged to it:
