Reply #26: My thoughts on Able Danger, Weldon, the right wing spin, etc. and what

[Pachamama]

it all means:

I remember the first time I heard about Able Danger and read up on it through the DU. I had questions, mixed feelings, but my gut told me that this may be real and to stay tuned. At the same time, I would put nothing past this administration to put false info out in order to distract from other issues and also another opportunity to blame something on Clinton.

But I will confess I saw this speech by Weldon on TV and I believe he is sincere....Since it seems that most of the GOP politicians are in the pocket of the Bush Neocons and Corporations, the assumption is easily made that its another mouthpiece. But I listened to what he said and read the transcipt of his speech and I seriously believe this man is outraged and is speaking out. He may have an (R) behind his name, but maybe he's got a bit of a conscience and is an example of someone in the GOP who remembers what it means to be an "American" and what the GOP used to stand for. It's possible he has seen too much and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. I will admit that my jaw dropped when I heard what was being done to this guy who is exposing Able Danger. The fact that they would cut off his benefits? The fact that he had his security clearance taken away and had a box including Gov't property and classified docs sent to him in a clear and deliberate attempt to set him up and destroy him? This follows a clear pattern of destruction of anyone who dares to challenge this administration. Maybe Weldon has had enough. Maybe Weldon cares more about his country and the dead Americans that died on 9/11 and since then for an illegal war on Iraq. Maybe he took this issue so seriously that when he found out that one of the members of the 9/11 commission was the very same person who withheld this info from the commission and was part of the DIA group that did this has him convinced that this needs to be exposed.

My take on the right wing pundits like Limpballs talking about this on their talk shows is because it does serve as a "distraction" (and they always love anything that can be talked about related to 9/11) but that yes, it could be "blamed on Clinton". But I really don't think that will fly and I think its only going to serve as a temporary distraction. The truth that may come out in this "re-opening the 9/11 commission investigation" may end up revealing far more than the Bush Cabal wants revealed.

I say "Bring it On"....I think that the house of cards is starting to crumble on the Bush Cabal and they can't control the fallout coming from all directions....I believe this particular story may once again actually show that some of the very same "players" from the Reagan/Bush era that are Neo-cons, left some loyalists in the Pentagon who made sure certain things got taken care of and not taken care of.
