Squawk! Conspiracy Theory! Squawk!

So the Pentagon is blocking further discussion of the 100% illegal Able Danger program which may or may not (will we ever know?) have identified Mohammed Atta as a terrorist long before 9/11.

This comes at the same time as The Stakeholder publishes new revelations about links between prominent Republicans and terrorist groups.

So what's new? Look at Bush Senior's involvement in Watergate, the Bay of Pigs and the assassination of Kennedy. Bush and fellow CIA agent Felix Rodriguez are the only people in the USA who can't remember where they were on the day Kennedy died.

Who trained Bin Laden? Who sold chemical weapons to Saddam?

UPDATE: A pretty amazing headline on this issue from RedState.org: "Don't let Clinton get away with it!"

Say what?!? Here's the spin:

We now know that Clinton or at least his Pentagon, through a program code named "Able Danger" knew about Mohammed Atta and what he was up to long before 9-11, but chose to do nothing about it. We also know that, for some reason, this was not investigated by the 9-11 commission. Curt Weldon has tried to make this important story public for some time. Now it looks like some Clintonesta hold-overs at the Pentagon are going to do all that they cann do to hamper the investigation. Don't let them...

And who exactly are these "Clintonesta hold-overs"? Well, one of them is a guy called Donald Rumsfeld:

Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the Pentagon considered Able Danger to be a classified matter and declined to participate when the judiciary committee chose to hold an open hearing.

"We have to obey the laws with respect to security classifications," Mr Rumsfeld told reporters.

We don't have to obey the law with respect to torture, international conventions or a host of other issues, but the red tape of security classifications is clearly sacrosanct. Even if US lives are in danger.
