Why is CBS tickling "able danger" story?

[annabanana]

They are keeping this alive for some reason. I'm still confused about the implications. Is this an attempt to foist 9-11 off onto Clinton or will it lead to something real?

1. Well, I don't know how the 9-11 Commission's negligence to look

into the matter can be considered a flaw of the previous Administration? I think the key is the right-wing shill who was put on the Commission, and who may have been responsible for stifling important information -- like Able Danger.

You have to remember that there was an appropriate transition of power in January 2001. Richard Clarke wrote about how the Bush Administration was properly apprised of the "terrorist" situation in his book, "Against All Enemies." The administration responded by demoting his position and delegating everything to Cheney. And Cheney had his own agenda.

I still believe that in those energy meetings, you'll find a clue as to why the WTC was attacked in the first place, though I think by now it's obvious that it's during these transitions of power where we seem to be the weakest.

3. well they just had Shaffer on ..

And he is insisting that the DOD is "determined to get to the bottOm of this"

So Is DOD only going to gt to where the info wasn't transmitted, and ignore that Clarke was shouting and pleading for a meeting with Rice and NEVER GOT ONE??

5. Sibel Edmonds hinted that the state Dept. is not to be trusted.

Connect the dots. Any government agency who blinks at this point, probably has some paper shredding to do.

7. If the Commisision "swore" their witnesses" Then this

Coud be leading to perjury indictment
If the sworn officials knew that able danger was tracking atta and otheres and failed to diclose such information whene asked if anyone had any prior knowledge about Atts...Game is over.


Obstruction....Perjury

See its not that they even knew. It this whole thing of the Bushies being unable to afmit they made a mistake. The fact that they were bit tracking Atta is understqndable and even foregivable, Its the lying about it that is unconscionable,

4. It's clearly partly that

What I don't understand is why they feel defensive about it all of a sudden - unless this is just another pathetic attempt to change the discourse.

8. Rush is alreadyon this one: yes, it's the Clenis

who put in place the wall that could have prevented 9-11. Oh, and while we're we're on the subject, he dredged up Clinton Administration "failures" on the Millenium Bomber to prove it was all of a piece.
