Hurricane Curt
Rep. Weldon is a good old-fashioned Category 3 political cyclone. Nevertheless, his House floor speech last night continued the saga of Able Danger, with a promise of new information. It appears that he's preparing a more formal revelation in committee, based on a new witness who can pin down times and places more precisely. Most of last night's speech was devoted to the DIA's attempt to silence Col. Shaffer, which is utterly shameful but not quite the big picture. The underlying point is that all of our intelligence agencies failed, and all of our agencies are still devoting more effort to covering their incompetent asses than to gathering new information.
With Weldon and Freeh double-teaming the truth, we may actually get a full description of the real problem. ¶ 9:40 AM
