Rumsfeld is having a press conference. Under the Fox News Alert the big banner read:

Rumsfeld says that Able Danger briefed the 9/11 Commission.

Did anyone hear his remarks on this matter; all I've seen is the banner.

I didn't know there were three!

Article's been up since late late last night. We all need to stay on top of this. Every bit of pressure helps. On the clintoon trail again! Whoo Hoo! And even better, on the case for actually doing something about protecting America instead of searching old ladies and advocating amnesty for illegals.

He was confirmed February 1, 2001, 58-42 - after Biden returned from a funeral to cast a late no vote.

Thanks for linking that; I would never have seen that article otherwise.

Some days I'm hopeful this will lead somewhere and other days I realize the Washington class protects each other.

Interesting question. Perhaps this is one of the people who needs special clearence to reveal himself.

[Roccus]

I do have interest in this. But all this exuberance of "....we got them now" and "...this is hugh and series" is just smoke.
Far too many career politicians and bureaucrats from both sides of the aisle are involved for this to reach a meaningful conclusion.

...or revealing him honestly could reveal methods, etc. that could impair existing searches.
It's a fine line we're on if we're still using the technology to help us know if we have open hearings in Congress...

Hannity starts his show saying there are TWO witnesses.

SHEESH! How hard is it to read the top blogs? They ALL have this. 18 HOURS OLD!

AND THEY HAVE STAFFS!

FWIW Medved is trashing all the media for its' excessive coverage of Aruba and their obsession with 'pretty' victims.

[concerned about politics]

unlike some other of my fellow Dems, I believed that there were at one time WMDs in Iraq in Saddam's possession, and I also believe that George Bush believed it.."

The ships that left through the Persian Gulf never docked. They never found them. My guess is someone sunk them. The dangerous WMD stuff will be found there. Even worse, it could leak.
The truck caravans that left Iraq probably had the hard weapons. They had to go across land.

No-one with any integrity sat on that commission.

Agreed. Unlikely to assemble such a group of idiots completely by accident.

Every time you turn around Hannity is taking credit for keeping anything and everything at the forefront. Right Sean.

Gordon should never have been on the panel apparently.

I have heard the Lt Col say himself that some of the people involved are still active and need special permission before coming out public. According to the Lt Col they are seeking that permission.

Please pass the link on to people you know. Freepers and others. Thanks!

Oh ye of little faith.

Know what you mean though. I'm oscillating at a high speed myself.

With a news-bunker-busting nuclear penetrator.

But it won't be as important as what Pat Robertson said.

Last night on O'Reilly I'm almost sure I heard Slade Gordon claim that the Commission WASN'T briefed about Atta but WAS briefed about Able Danger. And if they weren't briefed about Atta, was this because of THE CULTURE OF THE WALL (imagined or explicit) created by Gorelick? The plot thickens.
