#1 I agree with Sen. Spector. Americans need more truth and less bloviating.

#2 Americans need more truth and less bloviating.

The problem is expecting less bloviating from Senators. I think they have a special bloviating boot camp before they enter the Senate.

#4 What bothers me the most is that Able Danger was shut down and the data collected was destroyed, just about the time George Bush was elected president. I wonder WHY? What else did they discover that someone in Washington wanted to keep covered up? This is just the kind of meddling in intelligence collection and dissemination that crippled us prior to 9/11. I hope SOMEONE has recreated this type of intelligence collection, and is using it. Perhaps they are, clandestinely - we haven't had a successful terrorist attack in the US since 9/11.

#6 Old Patriot, about recreating the capability - I wouldn't worry about that.
