"Weldon has a book coming out on Able Danger
His book on Iran just came out in June. How fast does he write?"
Thank you. The book was released on June 13th. At 20-25 a copy, I doubt that he was expecting to retire on profits or ever expected this to make the NYT bestseller list.
Whether or not he's overdoing it remains to be seen. I've seen him get excited before but that doesn't mean he doesn't have facts and connections that have the truth. He is passionate, I just hope he proves credible. He's had a distinguished career and has done much (largely) behind the scenes work on many diplomatic missions. He's staking all that on the ABle Danger story and I doubt that he is that foolish to risk all that he's worked for to go off halfcocked.
Those offers were cut off by Clinton Administration attorneys and based that refusal on the “wall of separation” memo written by Jamie Gorelick, then a deputy under Attorney General Janet Reno. By the time 9/11 staffers received multiple briefings on Able Danger’s findings and efforts, Ms. Gorelick had become a member of that Commission.
There is definitely something here!
Looks like the spin to save the political careers of some of the 9/11 Commision members has started.
im still wondering when drudge will cover it.....
I'd say, investigate the blogger - he may have something to hide regarding Able Danger or the 9/11 commission! Or perhaps one of his friends has something to hide!
Sure. For $19.95.
BUMP
That is complete BS. Publishing a book will get 10X the attention of adding another unread blog to the millions already out there. Weldon did exactly the right thing to put this in a book just as Jayna Davis did.
"Weldon has a book coming out on Able Danger and I suspect he hyped the story to sell his book."
That could be, but who would read his book if now he is made to look like a fool but a fool.
I think you mean "that is total crap."
Exactly. These people must believe EVERYBODY reads blogs when it is a small number relatively.
could it be able danger has been replaced with some OTHER open source data mining operation?
Revealing the success of able danger will compromise that one?
"Looks like the spin to save the political careers of some of the 9/11 Commision members has started."
My take as well. Damning the 9/11 Report is no small task when one considers that if it's really discredited then the whole country has been fed a large spoonful of BS concerning our National security.. There may be quite a few powerful people that don't want to see that happen.
You must have been asleep during the Dan Rather saga.
Not only was I wide awake during RAThergate but completely on top of it. It has nothing to do with the current situation for many obvious reasons which I will spell out if you can't figure out what they were.
Anyone can easily see that books such as Weldon's are only ONE aspect of an attack and that only a moron would believe he has any hope of making more than a pittance on it. If you can't grasp the meaning of a coordinated attack I can also help with that.
Your aping my comment makes no sense and is even less relevant than your dumbass attacks on Weldon's book.
I quit taking Krauthammer as a real conservative when he came out for embryonic stem cell research. Now I don't listen to anything he says.
