preceding. I hope more people start tuning in to this story!

I saw Michael Shaffer (I'm pretty sure that's who it was, I tried to fix the name SHAFFER in my memory at the time) a couple or three days ago when he made the rounds of the so-called cable "news" networks, talking about the Able Danger operation and how info on it did NOT get included in the 9/11 Commission report.

This guy comes across as extremely forthright and frustrated as hell by the inattention to -- the quashing of, in fact -- information on this very important operation. Shaffer said when he appeared on the news shows that he would not make any appearances after that day. He said he found "this path" a very hard one to take, and indicated that he had been pressured by "authorities" to stop giving interviews. To, basically, SHUT UP, before something terrible happened to him or to his career in intel....

Apparently true to his word, he hasn't appeared on any news shows I've seen since then. I believe Mr. Shaffer needs some SUPPORT. His *ss may well be in the wind for his superiors to hang him out to dry if he doesn't get enough solid backing by those who can protect him and help us all by getting what he knows OUT THERE. I remember being so surprised that someone who appeared to be an "active duty" CIA agent was revealing this information on TV. Usually those intel types don't make appearances like that. But this Able Danger info is or should be "old news" and therefore not something in an active file that he's giving out. It SHOULD be declassified and available to the public!

I'm going to try to find a way to contact Mr. Shaffer and let him know he can expect some strong support from a lot of citizens out here!

Last I heard on cable news, the 9/11 Families (the group that has pushed hardest to get at the truth) were going to start pressing Washington for more answers on Able Danger. Looks like it is happening, and it can't be soon enough for me! Or millions of other Americans who are sick of the lies and coverups.
