Anonymous sources say, "Able Danger, who he?".

Overlooked?? Hardly. He was deliberately ignored...

"They say they can find nothing produced by the Able Danger program..."

Have they looked in Sandy Burgalar's pants?

When Weldon first made the charge in a new book and in a June speech on the House floor, it met with little attention,

Why not explain this little detail further, TIME?

Not one word about the "wall" imposed by Jamie Gorelick and the Clinton Administration. The MSM continues its practice of telling only half the story - the half that makes the Demo-RATS scapegoat de jour look bad, either the Department of Defense or the Bush Administration.

Here's part of the spin in this story. It says that "the Able Danger program,... involved fewer than half a dozen intelligence analysts...." Given how Able Danger was conducted, it could have been done by one computer geek and an unlimited supply of pizza and coffee.

Time does not bother to explain how Able Danger was conducted. So, I will:

The researchers in this project never had to leave their cubicles. They gathered "open source" information, meaning publicly available speeches, articles, broadcasts, from many nations and in many languages. They entered all this data into a huge computer (perhaps a Cray), and asked the computer to identify and quantify all connections between data points.

The results of this were the identification of five of the hijackers (including the 20th one, who was prevented from entering the US at a Florida airport) and the identification of several cells, including one in Brooklyn and one in Hamburg (where we now know the main planning for 9/11 took place).

For anyone in the military to dismiss the value of this breakthrough analysis is as stupid as the Army Air Corps officers who court-martialed Billy Mitchell for his assertions that air power would become essential in warfare. It is as dumb as the Secretary of the Army who referred in his 1933 annual report to "the tried and proven horse."

It is impossible to tell from this Time magazine story whether the three writers had a clue of what Able Danger did, and how it did it. It is clear that they were predisposed to reject this as an important story.

This article states that apparently Able Danger puts Atta in Prague with an Iraqi intel officer.

Has anyone heard Weldon or anyone else state that Able Danger can place Atta in Prague? If we can do this, it will virtually kill the left and their mantra that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

"Overlooked?"

No. Mohammad Atta was being protected by people at the highest levels of power.

And, wouldn't you know, it all happened at the same time the Chinese were stealing the plans for the W88 nuclear warhead and buying off the Leftist swine, Billy Boy Clinton.

Is it time to start the Gore-licker death count.

Who knew that Clinton's China Gate scandal would blowback into the hobbling of our national defense to the extent that it did. What other type of administration would even think to block off cooperation between the FBI and the CIA?

Carter may have enabled Islamofascism in Iran, but Clinton put a knife into the backs of the American people.

I used to find Michael Savage a little over the top, but he has been so right on talking about the leftists lawyers hobbling this country, partucularly Jamie Gorelicker, WHO WAS ABLE TO REMAIN ON THE 911 COMMISSION, even though she was a bad actor in the events that led up to it.

Does anyone know where Atta stayed during his several visits to Boston?

When Weldon first made the charge in a new book and in a June speech on the House floor, it met with little attention, but perhaps due to the August heat or the approaching fourth anniversary of the attacks, the accusation ignited controversy last week.

Too cute by half, clumsy Olds Media spin trying to make Able Danger little more than a summer flash in the pan. The most green cub reporter knows that Weldon took this story public for the good of our nation because of beltway bureaucratic indifference to the lessons of Able Danger.

A senior Pentagon official briefed on the program told TIME, “This is much ado about nothing.” a source close to the former 9/11 commission aides who chased down the story last week said they had been led to believe the Pentagon would issue a statement along these lines on Friday. But as of Sunday, this had not occurred.

Now we know why the Sunday talk shows downplayed AD, e.g., Krauthammer, Kristol, Wallace, etc.

That these same complicit individuals are still drawing a paycheck and/or lucrative government pension is the worst travesty of all and shows us how corrupt the system really is. Who are they? Let us know their names. And where are they? We will picket their homes and at least let decent citizens know who and where they are, just as we do with sexual predators who are also lawbreakers.

"Overlooked" suggests and honest or innocent mistake! The 9/11 Commission INTENTIONALLY stayed away from EVERYTHING that pointed to Willie and his dealings with Saddam and Ieaqi oil money. That's what the mindless blather of all the Congressional Black Caucus, dems and media left-wingers was about.

Remember thr endless claims that there was no connection between Saddam and OBL and Iraq and terror? How could these idiots be so sure about the proof of a negative? They couldn't be! But, siad often enough and loud enough, they assumed that the sheep would accept it as fact.

Willie's buddy, Marc Rich, and many others made a fortune from Saddam's oil vouchers. Rich paid Willie for his pardon with Iraqi oil money.

Just as there was a major conspiracy to cover the Whitewater dishonesty, Willie, the dems and the ultra-left wing have manipulated evidence so as to divery attention from Willie's role in the 9/11 attack.

Overlooked? Nonsense!! Berger stole evidence of Willie's involvement; the Commission hid/ignored evidence of Willie's involvement!!!

Ole BJ Clinton was too busy unzipping his pants to pay attention to stuff like this.

It's so funny how the DUmmies and Michael Moore won't touch this issue. A quick glance at DU shows 60% of the threads about this nutcase Sheehan.
