I would love to see this pinned squarely on Clinton and Berger, but I feel like it is best to wait and see where the facts fall first. Would hate to find out that someone in the Bush administration squashed it because they didn't want anything to reflect badly on Rice, knowing she was going to be a "star".

You know the media. Sandy Burglar steals secrets and it is a one day story. Condi Rice gets an "ambiguous" memo in August and the press drags that out for weeks.

That being said, if Curt Weldon pulls this off, we owe him and owe him "big time!"

Sure, we need the facts and ALL THE FACTS. Especially all the documents, if any escaped the shredder. A lot of us are hoping that there are recoverable computer files somewhere -- unless hard drives were destroyed, or erased in a most thorough manner (not enough just to delete files), there may be DOD workstations that still have all kinds of AD documents, in only they can be located.... and there may be tape backups of major systems, etc. unless someone has destroyed those, too.

MY SPECULATION: fwiw, I'm not one who thinks this particular scandal will go directly to the Clinton White House, in the sense that Berger or Clinton was likely ever briefed on or gave orders regarding ABLE DANGER. I think AD will turn out to be about the Reno/Gorelick type of lawyers operating throughout Justice, DOD, etc. who walled off and blockaded just about any intel work that could possibly be the least bit controversial, or anything dangerous to Clinton's CHINAGATE scandals (that is where I think the links lie, but I doubt that Bill or Hillary had to do more than the original PDD in 1995 that set Gorelick to work on creating walls).

I suspect what Sandy Burglar was destroying had to do with handwritten comments on the various copies of the "After-Action Report" on the Millenium bombing plots; though Burglar may have had other targets, too, I doubt that ABLE DANGER documents ever got to the White House at that time....
