Pentagon Refutes Conservative Myths About "Able Danger"
Click here to read the whole article.

<snip>

The crusade by Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) to prove that a defunct military intelligence program had identified Sept. 11 hijackers prior to the attacks -- and to promote the myth that the 9/11 Commission was trying to protect the Clinton Administration from embarrassment -- was rejected again yesterday by a Pentagon report that found no evidence to support any of the congressman’s allegations.

Perhaps the conservative mythmakers and radio ranters will finally put this story to rest.

1. Putting the story to rest.
Fat chance. They'll keep repeatedly spouting the same nonsense and depend on the fact that no one will be repeatedly stating the truth. This Pentagon report will fly completely under the radar for most people. Sorry if I'm being cynical but it's hard not to be these days.

3. Just so you know,
I wasn't attacking you personally or criticizing you for posting this. Thank you for trying to get the word out. We need everyone doing this constantly.

We can't let our cynicism keep us from trying. That's what they want to happen.

4. no, i didn't take it as personal
It's been such a big story in conservative circles, but I agree, even the pentagon report won't keep those people from "the truth."
