Rep Weldon to give major House Floor speech on Able Danger momentarily; ON CSPAN NOW
CSPAN ^ | October 19, 2005

Posted on 10/19/2005 4:59:18 PM PDT by TomGuy

Rep. Kirt Weldon is on Michael Savage's radio program, and he is implying Rumsfeld is the one blocking further investigation into Able Danger.

Weldon is fuming; says he personally (in a committee hearing) asked Rumsfeld about the investigation being blocked. Rumsfeld replied that he would 'get back to Weldon with a response.' Weldon says he still has gotten nothing from Rumsfeld.

Weldon to give a speech in a few moments this evening on the floor of the House. It should be aired on CSPAN this evening.

One key point was that Weldon has a new witness involved in Able Danger that verifies the Mohammad Atta points and said that the team was "screaming" about the attack on the USS Cole before it happened and warned them not to send the ship into the Yemen port.

Weldon is outraged about the treatment of Lt. Col Schaffer and talked extensively about that.

Just want to make it clear:

Weldon said in his remarks that The Able Danger Team established and warned higher-ups that the USS Cole was going to be bombed two weeks before it happened...!

It sounded to me like they sent him more pens with the five classified documents. More pens in addition to when he was a kid. I transcribed what I heard and these were newer pens I think. You know, as if he's a repeat offender.

That's why whomever did it was really stupid if they sent him new pens with five classified documents.

If only we could continue to make the connection of Able Danger with Sandy Berger stealing files.

I guess it's just easier to keep the focus on Delay instead by the major media. Another travesty.

Mo1----I have a feeling this will be repeated on C-span at some time...it was great!

But, if not on C-span...I am sure that Fox will show clips of it tomorrow...

Weldon was yelling and pounding the podium...he was pleading with the powers that be to investigate this..and most of all, NOT to ruin Lt. Col. Schaeffer for coming forward.

A couple of times he said he would leave the House..before he would let something like this happen...but, then said he wants to stay and make sure this gets taken care of.

There were a few things and names of people that he said he couldn't talk about...but, he said he is worried not only about Lt. Col. Schaeffer's career, but his safety as well.

But, like Bahbah said....just reading the words don't do it justice.

...It seems like Freeh is supporting his efforts.

Rep. Weldon thanked some congressmen and senators by name who were supporting him is this effort. That's encouraging.

>>>I don't get McKinney. Since when does she do anything IN FAVOR of our country?<<<

She could have ulterior motives. She knows that this can bring down Rumsfeld, and even the presidency, if Rummy or Bush tries to cover this up. And if there is a coverup, she wants her place in the history books.

5 classified documents to Tony Schaeffer and then said they didn't exist. That's a felony. Included in those boxes, 500 hundred dollars worth of fed property including a GPS system, I guess to keep. 25 pens, brand new and marked on them "property of the U.S. Govt."...

Some say that we get the govenment we deserve. I have never believed that. Do we get behind someone like Weldon. We do what we can. We, the LITTLE PEOPLE, have changed the government policy on illegal aliens, maybe. Can we do something with Able Danger, and Lt. Col. Scaffer. We can have a go at it. Let's try.
