The Able Danger Hearing, which was probably the most riveting hearing since Watergate, will be rebroadcast tonight at 7:40 on C-Span 3. Go to C-Span.org to watch it on the Web.
C-Span 3
Also Jim Leherer is going to have a segment on it. Sherlock Google noted that Rumsfeld's lawyer Dugan was forced to admit by Specter that not only could Atta NOT be considered a US Person, the FBI should thus have been warned.
Specter had to draw it out of him. Watch Dugan as he is forced into admitting this. Not what Rummy wanted.
If Atta cannot be a US Person, that means the FBI should have been informed by the DIA's Schoomaker and Franks and Atta and the 3 others would have been arrested.
9-11 would have never happened.
This is MAJOR NEWS. Try and find it tonight on any broadcast.
(Plus now Rita is a Cat 5 and there goes another 20% of US oil production for a few years--this will dominate the news tonight and for the next couple of weeks a la Katrina)
I will post the link when it is 7:40. Watch it and decide for yourself: was Atta set free because of incompetence or was it a neo-con plot to let an attack on American soil happen so Iraq could be invaded?
If it was incompetence, why did Rumsfeld censor the agents this morning, causing Specter to suspend the hearing? Why did Specter have to pull the admissions on Atta out of Dugan?
Sherlock Google had a hunch that Clinton did not know about the Atta ID, and then this whole thing turned around when he was proved right. In fact, Sherlock's diary this weekend on it made me think, the neo-cons will have to cancel this hearing whatever way they can.
They found a way.
Stopping Able Danger was a neo-con screwup or conspiracy, for Clinton was never told! (There were many neo-cons appointed by Defense Secretary Cheney under Bush I who operated throughout the Clinton Administration). So Weldon has helped us a great deal.
Thanks, Curt!
