Able Danger's hidden hand
The Washington Times ^ | August 15, 2005 | Jack Kelly

Posted on 08/15/2005 4:10:28 PM PDT by george76

The report of the September 11 Commission, once a best seller and hailed by the news media as the definitive word on the subject, must now be moved to the fiction shelves.

The commission concluded...the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon couldn't have been prevented.

Able Danger has changed all of that.

The problem was...Jamie Gorelick.

What may be a bigger scandal is that the staff of the September 11 Commission knew of Able Danger and what it had found, but made no mention of it in its report. This is as if the commission that investigated the attack on Pearl Harbor had written its final report without mentioning the Japanese.

When the story broke Lee Hamilton denied the commission had ever been informed of Able Danger...

"Had we learned of it, obviously it would have been a major focus of our investigation."

Mr. Hamilton later changed his tune...

Sandy Berger stole classified documents and destroyed some...Was he removing references to Able Danger? Someone should ask him before he is sentenced next month.

The dispute over Atta's whereabouts in Prague on April 9, 2001, to meet with Samir al Ani, an Iraqi intelligence officer.

Czech intelligence insists he was. Able Danger had information supporting the Czechs.

But acknowledging that possibility would leave open the likelihood that Saddam's regime was involved in the September 11 attacks. And that would have been as uncomfortable for Democrats as the revelation that September 11 could have been prevented if it hadn't been for the Clinton administration's wall of separation.

The September 11 Commission wrote history as it wanted it to be, not as it was. The real history of what happened that terrible September day has yet to be written.

Lee Hamilton is a grandfatherly, well-paid, professional LIAR.

I can hope that this gets legs. I have not watched any news on TV today. Nothing on the radio news.

If Rush mentioned this I must have missed it.

I bought it last year and it just sat there. Maybe I can roast marshmellows over it or something.

I don't think I have listened to him, although I may have, there was a guy shouting and going on during morning drive time on a station here in Austin that say they are a conservative talk radio station. Way to early in the day to get into the rants with only one cup of coffee under my belt. I will search and try again.

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't get how Burglar is able to cop a plea without a complete allocution of his actions.

The real question is: "What documents did Sandy destroy and take from the National archives?" The federal government knows (since he copped a plea in this case and they evidently had evidence of his wrong-doing).

The next question is: Why does GWB continue to cover for the malfeasance of the Clinton administration? Here we stand at a point in time where this disgraced former president's wife would like to inherit the reigns of this country and instill the same disatrous policies. Why do they not "out" this man as the failure we all know that he was?

Keep up the posts as new news on issue becomes available.
One can only wonder if Curt had plans to provide a bit more impetus to make sure the burglary man is not left off with just a slap on the wrists, and a three year probation period where he is not allowed to hold public office.

Time for Justice to depose all of the 9-11 Commission staff under oath. One of the Rat staffers won't want to go to jail.

Give 'em the Watergate treatment and be done with the Rat party once and for all.

Rats lied, patriots died!
