If being informed about ABLE DANGER makes me a conspiracy nut, include me in.

Bush should have rammed that crap down the Dems throats, long hard and continuously. Instead, we had politicians running interference for fellow politicians.

The beltway culture should have burned to the ground over that.

Bush didn’t ram anything down anyone’s throat because he was trying to keep politics out of it and keep the country together instead of pointing fingers. It would have accomplished nothing helpful. Blame the terrorists.

I agree about Able Danger.

I'm with you. A hack like Jamie Gorelick, on a commission of inquiry? Please.

I'd have made "Chinagate" Jamie and Slick's pet Doberman Richard Ben Veniste my two Burning Man entrants that year, lit them up right there in the committee room.

Agreed on Able Danger, but there was an effort by Rep. Curt Weldon to bring the issue into the light, only to be stymied by the DIA, aka Jamie "The Wall" Gorelick.

The failure by the president to back up Weldon and the men of AD was one of Bush's lowest points in his two terms.

The very lowest is the indifference to the ongoing systematic attacks on our troops by a rogue civilian agency (NCIS) and certain members of congress and other bureaucrats for the express purpose of staining our mission.
