The Final Verdict on Able Danger
Distrust of the White House and Congress has become so epidemic, vast numbers of Americans now accept conspiracy theories about September 11, 2001, including the most diabolical: that the U.S. government somehow was complicit and even responsible for the events.
A strange corollary is a collective penchant to lionize retired generals, former ambassadors, career bureaucrats and CIA officials who "speak out." People who otherwise think the CIA or the military are responsible for the world's ills witlessly quote and defend these supposed heroes against imagined Rove-ian and Darth-Cheney assaults.
This tendency is on display in the "scandal" over a top-secret, special-operations effort -- "Able Danger" -- that existed before Sept. 11 to develop a "campaign plan" to fight al-Qaeda. A mélange of government and industry flunkies came forward in August 2005, egged on by conspiracy monger Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) to claim that Able Danger had identified Mohamed Atta and other Sept. 11 hijackers more than a year before the attacks. The operation, the whistleblowers said, was subsequently shut down by -- and here you can fill in whatever conspiracy blanks pleases you -- Clinton administration baddies, military toadies or Pentagon "lawyers."
Now a new Defense Department inspector general report (caution: huge file provided courtesy of the Federation of American Scientists) on the scandal lays to rest the Able Danger fantasy: Mohamed Atta was never identified. Lawyers never stopped the organization from doing anything. There is no conspiracy. But the real story of Able Danger is one of secret "off-the-books" organizations and "outside-the-box" efforts and the potential corrosive and negative impact they have. It is a phenomenon that affects Republicans and Democrats alike.
The Defense Department Inspector General (IG) has concluded that pre-Sept. 11 top-secret intelligence and planning programs -- collectively known as Able Danger -- "did not identify Mohammed Atta [sic] or any other of the Sept. 11 terrorists before the Sept.11 attack."
The IG report shows, however gingerly and circumspectly, that a principal public face of Able Danger, an Army reserve lieutenant colonel named Anthony Shaffer, who has worked in a variety of Defense Intelligence Agency "special" and secret projects as an officer on active duty and as a civilian, exaggerated, lied and possibly worse. Shaffer, who is shown in the IG's report to be peripheral to the Able Danger effort and less knowledgeable than he claims, also is shown to have a selective and inconsistent memory. On the one hand, Shaffer remembers specifically seeing photographs of Mohamed Atta on charts and documents that by his own telling he only saw once or twice six years ago. Yet Shaffer's mind goes blank and he can not recollect if he had or set up a meeting with an FBI official who also happens to be a best friend from high school.
The IG found no evidence that Able Danger or any other government entity had identified Mohamed Atta or other terrorist cells involved in the attackes of Sept. 11, period. "None of the Able Danger team members, who were in a far better position to describe Able Danger findings" than Shaffer or Weldon, including the Air Force commander of the unit, agree that Mohamed Atta or other Sept. 11 hijackers were ever identified, the IG says. They found not only inconsistent statements from Shaffer and other witnesses who previously have spoken up in the media and in conversations and testimony before Weldon, but also witnesses who later changed their statements and disavowed memories and stories attributed to them by Shaffer and Weldon.
For offenses that are redacted from the IG report on privacy grounds, Shaffer’s security clearance was revoked by the Defense Department in February 2006. Some will take this to mean that Shaffer is an honorable whistleblower whose life and career is being ruined by the system. My sense, after reporting on the Able Danger story for over a year is that if anyone is to be blamed, it is Congressman Weldon: he cynically has used Shaffer & co. to pursue a fantasist political agenda. He is indefensible.
The Able Danger initiative began with an October 1999 request from former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Henry H. (Hugh) Shelton for U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to develop an information warfare "campaign plan" to take on al-Qaeda. By "identifying terrorist leaders, command and control infrastructures, and supporting institutions," the thought was that the target could be better mapped in a consistent way to attack.
Shelton says he was concerned that the JCS was inundated with "snippets" of information about al-Qaeda but had no comprehensice picture of the organization and its activities -- hence the request for a "campaign plan."
The team building the Able Danger campaign plan set to work using state-of-the-art information technology and advanced analytic techniques such as data mining and link analysis, classified and open source, that were then just being developed. Initially they utilized "crony targeting" techniques from the Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC) to try "map out" the al-Qaeda network. This effort was an overall failure, according to the IG. The team shifted to link analysis techniques being experimented on by the Army's Land Information Warfare Activity (LIWA) at Fort Belvoir, Va. In a way, you could say LIWA was itself another off-the-books activity, doing "edge-of-the-envelope" information-analysis experiments, many on the edge of usefulness -- fine for an experimental organization -- but also, as the IG found, many on the edge of legality as well.
LIWA in the end provided Able Danger with three link analysis charts of al-Qaeda: one titled “The al-Qaeda Network: Snapshots of Typical Operational Cells Associated with UBL;” one called “Al-Qaeda and Pan-Islamic Extremist Associations and Linkages;&rdquo, and one untitled along the same lines. The first two charts were produced by Orion Scientific Corporation in May 1999. Orion, itself a secret contractor of LIWA and other off-the-books organizations, was attempting to demonstrate the potential for visualizing relationships and organizations in new ways (using their Orion Magic proprietary software). They were also, the IG report suggests, receiving raw data and photographs collected by private investigators whose surveillance activities included photographing men entering and leaving Los Angeles mosques. In other words, illegally gathered material on American citizens was finding its way into U.S. government files, a problem that later would lead to the shutdown of the LIWA project, including its support for Able Danger.
What is fascinating about the Able Danger story is that all the claims relate to a supposed single link analysis chart of al-Qaeda that the IG now says contained the names and/or photographs of 53 terrorists connected to the 1993 World Trade Center attack and other pre-1999 events. The techniques employed by LIWA and Orion were useful, Able Danger found, but overall in terms of their mission, looking ahead rather than back, the SOCOM organization thought the actual value of the intelligence derived from the charts, according to testimony provided to the IG, was “zero.” This is SOCOM we're talking about here, not some namby-pamby lawyer in the White House.
In its short period of existence, Able Danger then moved from JWAC to LIWA to a Raytheon Company facility in Garland, Texas. There, the Able Danger team, once it got up and running, ingested more than a dozen intelligence databases and hundreds of thousands of downloaded news articles and terrorist-related Web sites to create a forward-looking picture. (Shaffer at this point enters the picture, providing the intelligence databases from DIA and a non-attribution method of accessing Web sites through yet another off-the-books unit called Stratus Ivy. Interestingly, Stratus Ivy is never mentioned in the IG report. My sources say Shaffer's revealing of its existence and other revelations are the reason for his ultimately losing his security clearance.)
Able Danger's mission, according to the IG report, was to focus on "identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities associated with al-Qaeda’s command and control infrastructure, its leadership and supporting organizations." Utilizing bits and pieces from the techniques developed at JWAC, LIWA, Orion and Raytheon, the objective was to develop a planning cell in SOCOM at Tampa, an organization that would allow new ways to use incoming intelligence and produce what we today call "actionable intelligence."
The IG reports shows that Able Danger, while innovative and ahead of its day, also suffered from a history of office moves, computer issues, roadblocks in access to real time intelligence and personnel problems. In less than two years, Able Danger worked from four different operational locations, moving across the country and losing valuable time. Its true history is filled with false starts, conflated and convoluted events and wishful thinking.
Able Danger found itself caught in bureaucratic battles between the DIA and FBI; the Army and DIA; operators and intelligence types; lawyers and renegades as well as straddling the divide between the macho individualism of special operators and the dogged approach of the "non-special." Along the way, any progress made came when Able Danger or LIWA or DIA went outside normal channels, due to personal relationships – including, I understand, at least one affair -- and because of lobbying on the Hill. Though Shaffer and Weldon claim the organization was so successful it was shut down, the IG concludes that "the termination decision must be understood in terms of the objective of Able Danger -- the development of a campaign plan; i.e., a strategy for using advanced analytical tools to target the al-Qaeda infrastructure." In that regard, it was "successful" and disbanded.
The IG concludes:
"The evidence did not support assertions that Able Danger identified the September 11, 2001, terrorists nearly a year before the attack, that Able Danger team members were prohibited from sharing information with law enforcement authorities, or that DOD officials reprised against LTC Shaffer for his disclosures regarding Able Danger."
Though Shaffer and Weldon have tried to turn Able Danger into an indictment of those who follow the rules or the Clinton administration and its attack-dog lawyers, in the end there is no evidence that this is actually Able Danger's story or legacy.
Unconvinced, Weldon has denounced the Pentagon's "sickening bureaucratic" investigation, insisting that Able Danger had "historic" importance.
There is historic importance. In the Defense Department's credible investigation and the Able Danger story, what is revealed is the enormous power and allure of anything and everything that is "off-the-books." The complex and the deliberate and the coordinated are shunted aside for the special and the secret and the ad hoc. The process of creating an Able Danger or an office of Special Plans intrinsically is about the "failure" of the normal system to innovate or respond. Partly it is also bureaucratic reality: The special and secret also demands enormous attention from policy-makers, crowding out the established and the traditional.
The Able Danger "phenomenon" is the genesis of how one report or one stream of reports -- say, regarding Iraq's WMD or Saddam's connection to Sept. 11 -- becomes more compelling than the entire "normal" system of reports. The phenomenon is also the genesis of programs of warantless surveillance and secret prisons: Laws are perceived as hurdles to accessing necessary information, hence the "need" for the extrajudicial.
When Sept. 11 happened, the easy assumption of those in government was that "rules" and "laws" and the bureaucracy were to blame for the failure. God forbid, the blame should have been leveled on intelligence agencies, law-enforcement goons or the Bush administration itself. The culture of the sectret, the clandestine and the special easily fed the impulse to go outside the system, to employ the ad hoc and the new and shunt aside what existed.
This is the root of the Iraq problem today. We will not even begin the understand how to repair the problem until we look at the history honestly.

SO WHY WAS ATTA PAID 100,000?
AND WHY WAS SO MUCH INFORMATION DESTROYED?
More recently Pentagon lawyers have ordered five members of the Able Danger intelligence team not to testify at an open Senate about information they developed on Atta. It was also confirmed that intelligence officials involved in the program had been ordered to destroy more than 2.5 terabytes of information in April/May 2000.
We have previously also reported that Atta was wired $100, 0000 days before 9/11 by the head of Pakistani Intelligence who happened to be having breakfast on 9/11 with Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees.

Ordinarily, I'd call such reiterated posting spam. But in the present case I'd say it was warranted, and that Mr. Arkin should respond to it, point by point; taking particular care to explain why he does, or does not, believe that 9/11 was an inside job, and that Bush was complicit in it. Perhaps he can also justify or explain the employment of the murderous fascist swine Negroponte at any level of government

Actually....
The general public DOES have a right to know.
This country is by the people, for the
people.An urban legend? I think not.
I would bet the same ill-informed individual who posted that tidbit of propaganda actually beleives that the president is the commander and cheif of the people. Yet another propaganda induced fable. He is a public servant.
By the way, it would be good to get your information from factual sources and not the media. Did you know the GAO has reported several hundreds of occurances, where Bush & co. have deliberatley engaged in propaganda (which is a felony)?
The discussion of the day should be of hanging those in governemnt who betray the publics trust.
Posted by: One of Many | September 27, 2006 3:39 PM
I can understand one person 'thinking' he saw Atta but being mistaken ... however when more than one comes out the probabilty of them both falsely remembering Atta is greatly diminished. I therefore beleive Weldon was right and this is a cover up.
Posted by: Jon C | September 27, 2006 11:37 AM
Not particularly Able nor of much particular Danger to the 9/11 Terrorists would be a more apt title to the revelations found hereunder.
The simple fact that the LIWA project had in fact developed a somewhat illicit yet accurate means of locating (among others) and identifying the Al Quaeda cell that was to have been the 9/11 hijack group is a notable acheivement. This fact speaks volumes about the intelligence value of those particular aspects of (still?)illegal domestic intelligence gathering that must now become an essential, pivotal and most important part of any post 9/11 'Homeland Security' project - period!
This is a case where history has proven that a certain discredited set of 'illicit' tactics WAS and COULD HAVE BEEN of immense strategic homeland security value, had we not all been living in a much less perfect dreamland.
Face it folks, we are dealing with Conservative Islamic Fascists to wit: a small, highly dangerous conservatist paramilitary wing of Islamic radicals. These people will all and always be foriegn visitors attending Islamic Mosques with regularity. LIWA was 100% correct in it's threat assessments in both this regard and in regard to connections those visitors may have with certain internet assets and their prior associations with or relationship to certain Arab nationalities.
Are Weldon and/or Schaffer wrong? Who cares?

When I was in the 3rd grade, a bully in school started beating me up every day. At first I didn't say anything, but then I told dad. He got a real scared look on his face and asked if the bully had a big dad. I said I didn't know. But he still seemed scared. And just a few days later we moved to a new town. Dad told me that if anyone picked on me, not to fight back. Unless I knew the kid didn't have a dad or the dad was real small. Otherwise just curl up in a ball.

FYI - Contrary to popular opinion....There is no "Right to Know" in the U.S. Constitution....One's "Right to Know" is an urban legend...
Namron,
Sadly, you are probably correct with respect to the American public, however, the Congress does have a right to know even though our current complicitious majority Republican Congress spends much of its time, trying not to know what the Executive Branch may have been doing in violation of the law. Oh for the days, when we had oversight, for it would appear that other than Arlen Specter and occasionally John McCain, the current Administration has pretty much received carte blanche from the majority on the Hill!
However, I am certain that several luminaries from America's political past as well as the present, would evidently agree with your contention that the people that they represented and currently represent, are considered to be 'on a need to know basis'.
Richard Nixon (Tricky Dick), Ronald Reagan (and his contempt of Congress), George Bush 41 (Contragate) and George Bush 43 (speaks for itself), would agree with you. So exactly who were and are these people accountable to, themselves and their own consciences, or the lack there of?
I suppose that the old saying that it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission is true. For it would appear that many Americans are only willing to forgive and pardon malfeasance by certain of our former public officials, particularly the ones who do not have the last name Clinton. Mr. Clinton apparently did not do anything egregious enough, to deserve a pardon.

Sad to say but our Countries Biggest Enemies and Terrorists are from within our own Government.
I was recently framed on a Non-Payment of Child support / Contempt of Court
Charge for children (which are NOT my Biological Children). Judge McBain
issued an unsigned Warrant for my arrest. The F.O.C. (Friend of the Court) and Judge McBain refused to prove that they were my Biological Children/Paternity which the Law requires.
My Court appointed Attorney Frank Kelly stood there in Court and said that I
was guilty even though I stood there and said that I was not Guilty.
F.O.C. and Judge McBain and Judge Susan Vandercook (Susan Vandercook used to
be the F.O.C. Prosecutor before she became Judge) claimed that I supposedly owed almost $22,000.00 in child support and yet Judge McBain put in writing in my "Sentencing Order" that I only owed $5,000.00 and that I was a 90 day Pay or Stay.
I Stayed as that I do Not have any money to pay their EXTORSION.
During my stay several corrupt Sheriffs Deputies payed "Store" as it is called to several of the worst inmates to have them try to beat me up and or attempt to kill me.
I have a list of these Deputies names and a list of inmate names who have witnessed these criminal actions by the deputies.
My whole trial took about 2 and 1/2 minutes including Sentencing.
The Criminal Judges are now also treatening a four year prison sentence
if I don't pay their $22,000.00 extorsion by way of Child Support for children which I do not have.
I have challenged paternity since 1983 and the Court has refused to make F.O.C. Prove according to the Law that they are in fact my Biological children which the Law requires.
It is a Biological, Medical and Physical impossibility for me to be the Biological Father to Any Children as that I received an Injury to my Testicals in 1971 when I was 12 years old and I have a 2 inch scar and the medical records to prove this.
And NO I did NOT sign any Birth Certificates for the children in question.
I did turn in all the Judges in Jackson County for taking Bribes (from a Drug Dealer Richard Townsend) to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Lansing Michigan
(Janet Strahan
Assistant Victim/Witness Coordinator Lansing Office
315 W. Allegan
Room 252
Lansing, Michigan 48933
Phone: 517-377-1577
Fax: 517-377-1698
Extension 3140)
and the DEA (Agent Kohler) East Lansing (517-337-6604)along with Court Records, Evidence as Proof in January 2006.
Also I personally followed and watched the Pay Offs of Bribe Money to the Judges, Prosecutor and Cops for the last six months of 2005.
First 2 months without success because of bad plugs in my truck last 4 months with total success.
Money exchanged hands from Richard Townsend (drug dealer to either Jackson
City Police Officer Gonzalas or to Jackson City Police Officer Mazur) who the
carried the Bribe Money to the Judges and the Prosecutor Zavislack.
I also turned in Judge Susan Vandercook in January 2006 for Violations of the RICO Act (Racketeering) for her part along with Ivy Arbucle and four other who were all owners of the Drop in Center for Minors that used to be on W. Mason St. just west of South Jackson St. 1989+- thru 1996 for
which Judge Susan Vandercook and her criminal partners received HUNDREDS of
THOUSANDS of DOLLARS in State and Federal GRANT MONEY (to which they filed NO INCOME TAXES ON) per minor child that Judge Susan Vandercook Sentenced to do their Counseling and Probation there at her Privately Owned Center.
I originally turned in Judge Susan Vandercook for this in June of 1996
and as soon as John McBain (who is now Judge McBain) won the election for the
position of Prosecutor for Jackson County he immediately choose to perpetrate one of his first Criminal Acts by refusing to prosecute Judge Susan Vandercook claiming lack of evidence even though the State of
Michigan Department of Social Service's licensed her drop in facility for minors
showing all six names of the owners including hers as well did the State of
Michigan Secretary of State issue the Incorporation Documents showing all six names of the owners including hers and the State of Michigan and The U.S. Government also have the Public Records of all the Grant Moneys paid to them in their Corporation name too and the City of Jackson Michigan also licensed her drop in center. The Evidence was and still is there to Prosecute Judge Susan Vandercook for Racketeering, Violations of the RICO
Act and Tax evasion along with her Partners in the Corporation ownership of
the drop in center for minors. This is how the Prosecutor John McBain bought his way into a FIXED ELECTION to become a Judge in Jackson County by refusing to do his sworn duty and prosecute Judge Susan Vandercook (which is a Crime in it self according to Michigan Law) and her five criminal partners in the drop in center for minors.
You will also notice that Judge John McBain's name is also on the Drug Dealers Court Records listed below as one of the Judges who was paid bribes by the Drug Dealer.
Review the EVIDENCE for yourselves.
I should have Witness Protection.
I did offer to testify prviding I received "Witness Protection".
I was garunteed that the local judges, prosecutor & police/sheriffs would be told that I was to be "Hands Off" & to leave me alone.
This has already failed.
Yet I am the Victim of the Corrupt Judicial/law Enforcement in Jackson County Michigan.
HELP. I Need a good Lawyer to prtect my interests.

Governs
Their position as a Judge and that is;
To Be Non Partisan i.e. Michigan Election Laws Chapter 168;
168.432 Candidates for probate judge; nomination at general nonpartisan
primary election; omission.
Sec. 432 "qualified and registered electors may vote for nonpartisan

168.412 Candidates for circuit court judge; nomination at general
nonpartisan primary election; omission.
Sec. 412. "qualified and registered electors may vote for nonpartisan

They did this Violation of the Law by openly showing their support for
Probate Judge Candidate Wilson in the full page ad on the last page of
section "A" (page A 10) of the Sunday Jackson Citizen Patriot dated
06-11-2006 .
This is grounds for Impeachment of each and all the Judges who gave

You're right again Arkin!
Vast numbers of Americans now accept conspiracy theories about September 11, 2001, including the most diabolical: that the U.S. government somehow was complicit and even responsible for the events!!!
I wonder why?
Comrade Wolf will even eat it's own!

John Ellingson,
You say that fighting terrorism requires understanding the dynamic changes in security practices in a world of asymmetric threats. I Agree with you if you mean that it is high time that Americans understand that the paradigm under which they are conducting this fight must be changed, that is: shifting from the war paradigm to the law enforcement paradigm.
The expertise that many European countries (notably French and the German expertise) display in their fight againt terrorist organizations would suggest that it is the appropriate paradigm: they did not need to change the essence of their constitution, didn't need to give to their government special power to torture, didn't need to create this fuzzy entity of 'unlawful combatant', etc.
But I understand that some allegedly 'serious' people are reluctant to admit it for both political and economical reasons, and may be also for the prestige of being a 'warrior'.
I guess there is a certain type of industry as well as a certain type of men who need this special and erroneous paradigm of 'war on terrorism' to maintain their power and rejuvenate their self-esteem. But it is not an harmeless paradigm: it represents a greater threat to the essence of American democracy than the enemy it intends to destroy. Under this paradigm the only victory you can achieve is a Pyrrhus-like victory: you will have lost what you were supposedly fighting for.

Why am I not surprised that after months of insuations and innuenedo from hacks like Weldon and the right wing windbags on talk radio, that this turns out to be yet another effort to pin 9-11 on the Clinton administration. Little wonder that Clinton was near apoplectic--and righteously so--at the Chris Wallace question which was, after all, predicated on the same bogus, conspiratorial claptrap being peddled by Weldon, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Coulter and all of the other Bush analwiping sycophants who seek to divert attention from his failures and blame it all on Clinton.
Isn't this what Bush and his right wing toadys always do when their agenda monstrously fails? Cast themselves about urgently trying to find someone to blame for their failures?
Look. The only way we are going to get positive change in this country is to send Bush and Limbaugh and all of his other enablers a message in November. You folks in Pennsylvania can do that by kicking Curt Weldon's ass out of office.

Whistleblowers and leakers...!
Now is it really true that the C.I.A. provided the Holy Man Sheik Omar, the man who was responsibile for the initial bombing of the World Trade Center a passport to enter the United States in the first place?
And if it is true? How come?
If we don't keep tabs on our officials in Washington, no matter which Party they come from, we are going to continue to get more of the same in the future!
Praise God, The Singularity, The Unifying Principle or Evolution for giving America Whistleblowers or Leakers? Perhaps they were put here or evolved in order to balance off the Liars?

It seems that politics rule over rationality. The Clinton apologists claim Rovian conspiracies and the Bush defenders deal in Clinton attacks and all ignore any sense of reality and lose touch with the real issue at hand. The bottom line is that the public (at least the bloggers) are so focused on hating their political opponents that they can't seem to get in touch with the larger issue and make any unbiased analysis of emerging terrorism and the dynamic changes in security practices in a world of asymmetric threats.

Rossini,
I know that you are correct, and I could not agree with you more. However, knowing that often times neither Congress nor the American people are receiving full or truthful disclosure from the Executive Branch gives me an abiding feeling of discomfort. It would appear then that the Government's right to keep secrets, particularly the Executive Branch's right has been abrogated, and instead that right has been misinterpreted to mean the harboring of secrets and the abridgment of some of our most fundamental citizen's rights, the right to full disclosure and to hold our government accountable.
I was under the impression that in a Representative form of government, the people that we duly elected to office were supposed to represent the will of the Board of Directors, We The People of the United States of America. The way that things seem to be working now, consider the abuses of some of our most recent Administrations, seem to erode the system of checks and balances that were also put in place by the Founders in order to ensure that no single branch of government spun off into its own separate direction.
Consider, for example, what took place during the Reagan years with Contragate, a perfect example of President Reagan's contempt of Congress, or more recently consider President Bush's end around of the American people and Congress by setting up secret prisons and detaining those that he accused of being enemy combatants; the same that he held and was holding without due process of the Law.
My concern is, just who in Washington DC represents the interests and the will of the American people, and who in Washington believes that they are accountable to the people? It would appear that we have returned to 'the tail is wagging the dog' syndrome, given the attitudes of the paternalists who have been running the Executive Branch and, particularly our Foreign Policy apparatus. The current President has made it perfectly clear that he is in Washington to represent the interests of his Party Base.
I suppose that the problem of the Government keeping secrets would not be as problematic if one trusted the people who were running the government. Perhaps my issues have more to do with trusting the people who are in office rather than the government merely keeping secrets, I don't know. However, when President's lie, all of their moral authority goes out the window and they can never be trusted again.
I say, keep the secrets from America's enemies, not from Congress and the American people, for we are not the enemy. I suspect that the diplomats from around the world who are trotted in and out of the White House receive more accurate disclosure and a fuller sense of what is going on in America and the world, than the American people receive. Is it right that Tony Blair, Prime Minister of Great Britain would know more about what is going on in Iraq, than America's Congress knows? Is it right that the House of Saud, its leaders, princes and sheiks would know more about America's foreign policy than America's Congress and citizen's should know.
In this sense I can agree with Reagan, that when an American President or anyone in his cabinet speaks, I will follow his advice to 'trust but verify', well at least the part about verify! How? I suppose that some whistleblower will have to continue to leak information to the public when the Executive and his or her staff are so adept at harboring and hiding information that the American people have a right to know about, particularly when the information leaked exposes the inconsistencies in what is being said to the America people as opposed to what is truthful. Iraq and the WMD lack of full and honest disclosure would be the best example of that.

Could it be that Mr. Arkin is quite happy with his weblog getting heavily spammed? It certainly blocks effectively the view on more serious criticism. Or doen't he look at these comments at all?! So much for interaction..

Anybody on this blogg who has access to the presidential ears, suggest sotto voce "Mr President, you urgently need to add to your reading list Franz Kafka's In the Penal Colony."
Posted by: Rossini | September 26, 2006 6:18 AM
Rev,
The apparent exponential rate of outpouring leeks seems to be a function of the administration's unsual and ever-extending tendency for secretive policies.
There is nothing abnormal with government using secrecy to protect the 'raison d'état' as long as this 'raison d'état' is strigently defined within a constitutional frame as related to the most vital interests of the state. Secrecy, in this context, far from being threatening to democratical institutions, is in fact a necessary institution for the survival any state. So, democratical states remain true to their nature and are on safe ground as long as there is a constitutional frame governing the use of secrecy and the life of secret institutions.
On the other hand, we know that we have reached the Rubiccon with on one side democracy and on the other bank tyrany when secrecy becomes the frame of all other institutions, and demands the modification of what was taken to be amongst the most fundamental constitutional principles, whereby basic rights are traded for a sense of security whose reality will remain elusive.
At this point, it doesn't take much to cross the Rubiccon, you just need a significant active minority of people willing to yield to that demand and a passive majority.

regarding Clinton,
when ever anything starts to heat up about bush,
the neo conartists, start taking shots at Clinton, it's a routine, like that excuses them...it keeps you distracted it gives them something to attack "an apparent legitimacy,"
in the same way that they've used patriotism....."if you're not for bush, then you must be a terrorist......or an insurgent....ala _juiced_ newton.
Two things.
1. Rush Limbaugh has gotten a career despite his addiction by maligning Bill Clinton _as_a_career_ and it's become a habit as if stealing someones car or murdering their children can be blamed on something Bill Clinton did.........sorry, a ruse is a ruse........
Bush is a thief and a liar, despite any propaganda about "what someone else did," bushes record stands on it's own....he is destroying the infrastructure, reputation and economy of the United States _as_we_speak_
2. The Executive Branch, has been working on the same plan since pre-Nixon years. The level of corruption in Congress, in the WhiteHouse, the complicity with Congress could not _ever_ have been achieved by Clinton, simply because he didn't come from Washington D.C.
Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Negroponte, Goss, Libby and others have known and associated with each other for over 40 years...........they are all good friends and companions of George H.W. Bush......40 + Years........
the passing shot at Clinton is an attempt to distract....a Limbaugh habit the propagandists have a hard time shaking....
most importantly, as head of DHS, what are Michael Chertoff's QUALIFICATIONS?
he's a Clinton Heckler and a major campaign contributor..........
_NO_EXPERTISE_ IN NATIONAL SECURITY, WHY BUSH DOESN"T WANT SOMEONE COMPETENT LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER..........
THAT IS WHY AN APPOINTEE, N E G R O P O N T E, has sovereignity over all the intelligence agencies,
and can _jerk_ the pension of anyone in the NSA, FBI, Secret Service, CIA or Clandestine OPERATIONS
without review.
good luck, you trusting soldiers.
.
no fricking oversight.
.
Goss and Negroponte went to Yale together with George H.W. Bush.......
50 years together.

I'm sure that's all true....isn't it. Two things.
1. Rush Limbaugh has gotten a career despite his addiction by maligning Bill Clinton _as_a_career_ and it's become a habit as if stealing someones car or murdering their children can be blamed on something Bill Clinton did.........sorry, a ruse is a ruse........
Bush is a thief and a liar, despite any propaganda about "what someone else did," bushes record stands on it's own....he is destroying the infrastructure, reputation and economy of the United States _as_we_speak_
2. The Executive Branch, has been working on the same plan since pre-Nixon years. The level of corruption in Congress, in the WhiteHouse, the complicity with Congress could not _ever_ have been achieved by Clinton, simply because he didn't come from Washington D.C.
Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Negroponte, Goss, Libby and others have known and associated with each other for over 40 years...........they are all good friends and companions of George H.W. Bush......40 + Years........
the passing shot at Clinton is an attempt to distract....a Limbaugh habit the propagandists have a hard time shaking....
What are Michael Chertoff's QUALIFICATIONS?
he's a Clinton Heckler and a major campaign contributor..........
_NO_EXPERTISE_ IN NATIONAL SECURITY, WHY BUSH DOESN"T WANT SOMEONE COMPETENT LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER..........
THAT IS WHY AN APPOINTEE, N E G R O P O N T E, has sovereignity over all the intelligence agencies,
and can _jerk_ the pension of anyone in the NSA, FBI, Secret Service, CIA or Clandestine OPERATIONS

The quality of comments has greatly increased, although I don't believe in what some of the folks are saying. However ALL content has increased many fold.
God Bless America.

From your article, Mr. Arkin, it appears that 'Need to Know' basis on information, Top Secret or not, has stimulated in those ouside the 'Need to Know' members an insatiable desire, even a demand, and insistance, that if anyone needs to know, then it must be all to 'Want to Know'.
The conspiracy paranoia is in full bloom with reporters, and the staffers who leak information to them.
Granted, I don't want anyone in the government breaking Constitional Law, but since the governmental right to secret information to protect the United States seems to be missing from most journalists field of knowledge, I am finding myself more and more in favor of 'Black' operations, where no one but the President, and the two top members of the Intelligence Commitee in Congress, have even the right to view the information.
I also am beginning to hope that one day, someone who gets caught giving or taking secret information from the government, and putting it into the public press, without proof that any law was broken, and without written, verifiable specifics of the secret information in the leak, is indicted for treason.
It would at least slow down the amount of damage done to our national security that is done on baseless rumors.
I don't want to know what the Government is doing, if they are doing it legally, because if I know, so do the bad guys. And this continual hemmorhage of information, which cannot be verified except by special commissions that no one pays any attention to, and are only formed after all the damage has been done, is hurting our country.
I would like to see a law, regarding the press in this country, that bars them from printing any information they don't have hard copy on from two sources. They won't even have to reveal them until they are on trial for slander, if not treason. Even Woodward and Bernstein took the leaks from Deep Throat, and verified them!
This would at least put all the printed sludge into the Opinion/Speculation category, and we could all enjoy it without it endangering us, or anyone else.
Methinks that the press these days are only interested in headlines, not truth.
And it's not only endangered our country, but made Americans look like complete idiots, and this hardly helps us negotiate from a position of strength on any matter.
I want free speech. I just want it to be true, factually, or labeled as speculation.
Is this so difficult?
I fear that it may be.

I have experience with the DDIG office.
Do you think that they don't have the image and allegience of the DOD formost in their face?
I reported an ongoing illegal operation in the US against innocent citizens (to the IG) and my report was blown off like numerous other reports from others of the same thing.
The words they used to discredit myself and the report were exactly the precise same words from another "official" 1,500 miles away and in another organization to discourage me reporting. Words that I say are designed to be used to cover-up this crime against Americans and humanity.
They don't even write down a word or report when you talk to them like it doesn't exist.
Official records of this don't exist simply because they tell you they don't investigate this and refuse to write up a complaint and put it in the files. They will even acknowledge that others are reporting it.
This is not based on my "research" but on my firsthand experience.
People get ready for the worst.
You too Bill.

Open Microsoft Word and do the following (TRY THIS FOR REAL):
