No wagging today, Wag Watch back tomorrow.
Weldon was gnashing the teeth and yelling in the House of Representatives today in regards to the character and career assassination of whistleblower Lt. Gen. Tony Shaffer of Able Danger cover-up infamy.
Whether Shaffer is a Repub or Dem, partisan Pentagon bureaucrats taking down a decorated career military officer should disgust and disturb all Americans.
I know that Weldon, who is facing Iraq war veteran Bryan Lentz in 2006, is thought of as a loon and from what I've heard outside of his tirade today, he is a loon, but today he deserves the support of every single democrat in demanding that Shaffer be reinstated to EXACTLY the same position he was in prior to his whistleblowing. Why isn't he getting some support from prominent Dems? The silence is deafening. !!!???
Weldon pointed out in his angry interview with Dobbs that a horrible, dangerous precedent is set with Shaffer's career assassination: military people won't stand up for what is right anymore. Here's some Able Danger basics:

despicable coverup:
The Department of Defense forbade a military intelligence officer to testify Wednesday about the work of a secret military unit that identified four 9/11 hijackers more than a year before the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks, according to the man's attorney.
In written testimony prepared for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, attorney Mark Zaid, who represents Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, said the Pentagon also refused to permit testimony there by a defense contractor that he also represents.
The Judiciary Committee was scheduled to hear testimony about the work of a classified unit code named ``Able Danger.''
In his prepared remarks, Zaid was ready to say on behalf of Shaffer and contractor John Smith that Able Danger, using data mining techniques, identified four of the terrorists who struck on Sept. 11, 2001 - including mastermind Mohamed Atta.>
``At least one chart, and possibly more, featured a photograph of Mohamed Atta,'' Zaid said in his prepared remarks.
Maj. Paul Swiergosz, a Defense Department spokesman, said Wednesday that open testimony would not be appropriate.
