Able Danger Comes Alive Again
The Pentagon has agreed to hearings on Able Danger which means Shaffer and Phillpott will be able to give testimony. It also means there are a few with the 911 Commission who are going to get very nervous, like Jamie Gorelick.
Weldon has singled out former 9/11 Commissioner Jamie Gorelick and commission staff member Dieter Snell as the main players behind the commission’s decision not to include Able Danger in its final report. When the national news media picked up on the story this summer, Weldon’s chief of staff, Russ Caso, received an unsolicited phone call from Gorelick in which she stated, “I did nothing wrong.”
“This is a scandal, I think, bigger than Watergate,” Weldon said last month.
Snell, a New York deputy attorney general, did not immediately respond to a phone call left at his office Wednesday. Gorelick referred questions to former 9/11 Commission spokesman Al Felzenberg, who denied Weldon’s allegation that the commission ignored Able Danger.

Sad that it has taken this long to finally get at testimony from the people who know what they are talking about. But I hope Rep. Weldon can keep it above politics as much as possible. If it appears he is using it for political hay, his motives and the outcome will be suspect.

It seems a lot is coming out. People are starting to admit there were untruths to certain things but they are still defending us being here.
Untruths or not, we needed to finish this.
