(really!) <br> Now we find out why Able Danger was shut down in Feb. 2001, one month after Condi Rice becomes National Security Advisor:<br><br>Mr. Weldon said he thinks Able Danger was shut down after a "profile" of Chinese weapons proliferation linked two Americans to Chinese students at Stanford University engaged in technology acquisition for China. <br><br>During the profile, the names of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, at the time the Stanford University provost, and former Defense Secretary William Perry were mentioned in the data and created "a wave of controversy," he said. <br><br>After Congress sought the data, "tremendous pressure was placed on the Army, because this was a prototype operation, and they shut down the Able Danger operation," Mr. Weldon said.<br><br>http://washingtontimes.com/national/20050921-102450-468... <br><br>I've been puzzling over Able Danger since coming across some obscure articles like this one mentioning Chinese espionage ties to a "university provost and a former high ranking government official," but now those references make sense.<br><br>Intrigue Over Able Danger Grows <br><br>WTOP - Federal News Radio<br>September 1, 2005<br>http://www.wtopnews.com/index.php?sid=558226&nid=251&pi... <br><br>That story is based on info from Able Danger team member J.D. Smith. I also happened to catch Able Danger whistleblower Anthony Shaffer on MSNBC's "The Big Idea" on Aug. 23rd, and he speculated that the reason Able Danger was shut down was because it had accidentally brought up ties between prominent Americans and overseas criminal activity. He didn't get any more specific except to say it wasn't connected to al-Qaeda. So this is undoubtedly another reference to Condi Rice and William Perry.<br><br>No wonder the Pentagon specifically refused to let Anthony Shaffer and J.D. Smith testify before Congress today! They sat in the room but were not allowed to speak. I hope the DUers who have seen Able Danger as merely some kind of Curt Weldon smear campaign against Clinton can see now that there's much more to it. If the full story gets out, its probably going to slam the Bush administration hard. No wonder, for instance, when Weldon says he gave the Able Danger chart showing Atta's photograph to Condi Rice's assistant Steve Hadley just after 9/11, the chart was "lost" and the whole story was buried. Hadley and Rice are very close, and Hadley has since taken over Rice's job as National Security Advisor.<br><br>When Able Danger was shut down there still was seven months to follow up its leads connecting Mohamed Atta to al-Qaeda, but instead the program was shut down to protect Condi Rice?!<br><br> <br> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=seemslikeadream@rigorousintuition>seemslikeadream</A> at: 9/22/05 7:37 am<br></i>

For Immediate Release<br>September 22, 2005 <br>Contact: Josh Earnest - 202-863-8148<br><br>Able Danger: What Lurks Behind Bush's Stonewall?<br><br>Washington, DC - Yesterday, the Bush Administration prevented witnesses<br>from providing public testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee about<br>Able Danger, "a secret military unit that is said to have identified<br>four of the Sept. 11 hijackers more than a year before the terrorist<br>attacks." Even Republican members of Congress<br>blasted the White House's unwillingness to be open and honest with the<br>American people about our fight against terrorism.<br><br><br><br>Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following<br>statement calling on the President to stop stonewalling on Able Danger<br>and said it demonstrated the importance of appointing a genuinely<br>independent commission to examine the federal government's failed<br>response to Hurricane Katrina:<br><br><br><br>"The Bush White House has once again shown a preference for playing<br>politics rather than protecting the American people from terrorist<br>attacks. At every turn, this Administration has been unwilling to<br>investigate its own officials, their friends and their cronies. Now,<br>even Republicans in Congress are rebelling against Bush's inability to<br>tell the truth about his Administration's failures. It's time for<br>President Bush to stop stonewalling and demonstrate genuine leadership<br>by working with Congress to independently and thoroughly answer the<br>serious questions about our national security raised by the failures of<br>Able Danger and the failed response to Katrina."<br><br><br><br>GOP Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA): Bush Administration Owes American<br>People an Explanation. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter<br>blasted the Pentagon's decision not to allow five key officials to<br>testify in front of his committee. "I think the Department of Defense<br>owes the American people an explanation of what went on here. The<br>American people are entitled to some answers." Specter also noted, "that<br>looks to me like it may be obstruction of the committee's activities,<br>something we will have to determine."

"A Pentagon spokesman had said the decision to limit<br>testimony was based on concerns about disclosing classified information,<br>but Senator Charles E.

In that pretty much EVERYONE's hands are probably filthy from all the dirty money that's been made from selling stuff classified as 'state secret' to China...if you were in the intelligence sector and knew the USSR <br>a) was unlikely to be perceived as hostile in a few more years<br>b) would still pay good money even for unimportant information<br>and knew 'everyone else' was padding their retirement accounts this way, you might be tempted to sell a few secrets, too...after all, you wouldn't be in intelligence and be handling saleable secrets if you had honor or integrity (sorry sw).<br><br>Unlike glasnost + perestroika russia, though, which has basically vanished from the category of popularly perceived threats, China's kinda making the populace wary -- it's where everything gets manufactured and where all the blue-collar jobs went -- and, unlike Russia, even as our international relations with China improve it seems that the apparent seriousness with which China takes acquiring its own area of dominance is only increasing...<br><br>There's a lot could in a sane and just society be used to bring down most sitting officials and officers, but the China cord might be the best way to do so -- there's plenty of fire there, and because the republican noise machine hasn't made an issue of it yet -- or even given marching orders -- there's a chance to strike. <p></p><i></i>
