Hannity not giving up on Able Danger reports

[underpants]

Never let it be said he let facts get in his way.

Just tuned in, so far:

-Two CREDIBLE witnesses have put their name on the line
-If this had happened during the Bush administration (didn't it?) this would be the main story the defining moment of HIS administration
-This is the result of the liberal media trying to cover for Clinton
-Cited National Review article (who cares)
-9/11 Commission was dead set on the time line
-What documents DID Sandy Burger take? (none)
-This is the result of the liberal media trying to damn Bush
-Blaming it on Jamie Gorelick. 9/11 Commission covered for her (who approved the commission members?).
-If this had happened during the Bush administration this would be the main story the defining moment of HIS administration.

News you won't find any place else, we'll be right back.

4. If they didn't track the hijackers

how did they find out who they were, where they had been and their photos so quick after 9/11. That info must have been passed on.

5. "If these stories all turned out to be false, which they aren't,...

and all these people turned out to be manipulative liars, which they aren't, would we have been any worse off for investigating it?"
-Hannity just now

Apparently they got a report that didn't blame anyone now they want to have another one to support their conclusion that it was Clinton's fault.

9. tThe report blamed Reagan/Bush - but only by saying "80's and

noting the "wall" was created back then - and then reauthorised by Bush in Aug 2001.

7. Interesting diary at kos about Able Danger and Cheney

Confirmed: Able Danger ID of Atta before Bushco Shut it Down
The neo-cons and the Pentagon are deperately trying to deny, cheat and stall on this Atta revelation because it was Cheney that ended Able Danger in February 2001 to prevent any more investigation of the people who were planning to Pearl our Harbor.

This was deliberate, IMHO, on Bushco's part, as they needed Atta to succeed on 9/11 so they would the excuse they wanted to invade Iraq and Iran and Pipelanistan.

13. Wow that is damning

1-800-940-7326 (SEAN)

He calls it "Camp Cindy"

[Supersedeas]

did Hannity not get the memo yet?

[underpants]

18. No, he couldn't get past a caller saying that W tried to block

the 9/11 Commission.

He isn't going to go anywhere NEAR that Times-Herald report (if he has been allowed to see it).

[magnetism]

8. didn't each side

pick their own members for the 9/11 commission?

[underpants]

10. All had to be approved by the White House

That was part of the negotiates to establish, then fund, then properly fund the commission

Welcome to DU :hi:

[magnetism]

14. searching the 9/11 website

I found this link:

http://www.9-11commission.gov/about/107-306.pdf

Pages 26 and 27 define the composition of the commission and Page 30 defines the appointment process. I do not see where * HAD to approve. I see that the Chairman and Vice Chairman approved.

[underpants]

17. Best link I can find on it now

http://www.justiceblind.com/hide.html

COngress is such a rubber stamp of the White House so anywhere you read "Congress" subsitute "Bush Administration"

[magnetism]

19. ok

Thanks for the link

[Jacobin]

11. InsHannity still thinks there are WMDs in Iraq

and that Saddam and Osama were in love.

He's fucking nuts

[mikelewis]

15. Not nuts just well paid.

He doesn't believe this bullshit. He pedals it for a very stiff price.

[Jacobin]

16. Actually you are right

Just an immoraal RW propaganda peddler.

12. RE: Gorlick

Media Matters here: http://mediamatters.org/items/200508180007 has a great debunking of the "wall" that the ratbastard right is using to put the blame on Clinton.

It's titled: Memo to NY Post, et al: So-called Gorelick "wall" could not have been responsible for military failure to share alleged Atta intel

[brooklynite]

20. Let's assume he's right...

Suppose it was the case that the Clinton Administration refused to allow military intelligence about Atta to be turned over to FBI. What's the RW's answer to why they didn't try again when W came into office?

[underpants]

21. Exactly but of course no one wants to mention that

It is as if it were a one shot deal. Ridiculous.

See post #& and read the times-Herald (Philly) link. *Someone* shut down Able Danger in February 2001 (and no I am not in the LIHOP/MIHOPcrowd) ......probably Clinton.

[flpoljunkie]

22. Weldon gave the "chart" to Stephen Hadley, Condi's #2, 2 wks. after 9/11

You know the same Stephen Hadley who took responsibiity for the 16 words in Dubya's SOTU regarding "uranium in Africa." Hadley was also a member of the White House Iraq Group in 2002.

Why doesn't someone ask Hadley, who now has Condi's old job, head of the NSA, what he did with the frickin' chart? White House remains mum.

By the way, "Able Danger" which was a Pentagon data mining program, was terminated four months before 9/11.

23. Sen. Gorton (R) Smacks down O'Reilly

""Nothing Jamie Gorelick wrote had the slightest impact on the Department of Defense or its willingness or ability to share intelligence""
