Able Danger: A Whole New Game

Now that the 9/11 Commission has been exposed as in part an exercise in covering Jamie Gorelick's hide, it's time for the United States Congress to air some laundry; if they won't, bloggers will.

The list of bloggers zeroing in on the story continues to grow. NRO's Jim Geraghty reviews our current knowledge and speculates on a couple of crucial points; Captain Ed Morrissey gives us "A Guide To Able Danger Posts At CQ", which will have more to ponder as days go by; Red State looks at Able Danger, Mohammed Atta, and Prague. The Corner's John Podhoretz opines that Able Danger is becoming "the biggest story of the summer". Then again, maybe not. I don't know how she does it, but Michelle Malkin is keeping track of the whole thing.

One of the most prolific contributors to the matter of the 9/11 Commission is Andrew C. McCarthy, a former chief assistant U.S. attorney who led the 1995 terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others. In two April 2004 articles, "The Wall Truth" and "What About The Wall?" , McCarthy points out the problem of Jamie Gorelick's membership on the Commission panel when she should in fact have been a witness under oath. Much more recently, he draws attention to what the new revelations about what the 9/11 Commission knew but left out of their final report reveal about the curious nature of their methods and Sandy Berger's pilfering of the National Archives.

More as it happens.
