Those who ignored Able should be caned

Michelle Malkin has a good roundup of sources talking about Able Danger. If you haven't heard about this yet, you should sit down.

A military intelligence unit, apparently working with open sources, actually fingered Mohammed Atta by name, and three of his accomplices, as belonging to an Al Qaeda cell inside the US, in...1999.

Vox Taciturn also has some thoughts on this here.

Was this information passed on? No. Why the heck not, you ask? Because the Clinton Administration prevented such intelligence from being shared around the intelligence community.

Read through the roundups, and we'll talk some more later. Just a couple thoughts.

It does make one wonder if the documents Sandy Berger was so eager to steal had the words "Able Danger" written all over them.

Finally, I just want to ask again, for the 62,345,541st time, of all those who supported Bill Clinton, who laughed and danced when he swept the Evil Republicans out of office 1992, who stood by him through thick and thin, who claimed his perjury was a private matter, that it had nothing to do with the public Bill Clinton, I just want to ask if you'd like to reconsider all that.

Are you sure what a man is like in private has nothing to do with what he's like in public, and what kind of administration he might run? (And yes, conservatives were asking these questions back in 1991.)

I've said before, if character is what you're like when nobody is looking, integrity is what you're like when everybody is looking. I would humbly suggest the two are very much related.
