Cheney ordered Able Danger witnesses gagged
My ears definitely perked up today when I heard Weldon say this:
I brought in again as a volunteer Jim Woolsey. Jim Woolsey is a close friend of mine. Jim Woolsey sat in on a number of meetings with these people early on to make sure that I wasn't going off the deep end and to counsel me to make sure that I wasn't jumping to conclusions.
Talk about the fox guarding the hen house.
Then I read this from Mac at Macsmind:
Early today I watched the 'Spector House' Able Danger hearings on CSPAN.I watched closely, because at 8am, my cell was buzzing, a call from a friend. I had asked him to get some clarification on Shaffer's story that Rummy told 'em not to testify. The word I got from him was that contrary to popular knowledge, Rummy didn't pull the plug on the witnesses, it came from "Cobweb", which is just a little - OK, a lot higher up the chain.
Here's what I know. Spector is being "allowed" this little foray basically to keep Weldon quiet. Like I said before, "Give him his hearing and maybe he'll go away". There are people - active - who want this to go away and how the power to make it go away.
I know that everyone is clamering for more and indeed you have some of the families of 9/11 victims and others demanding answers. But unless the WH walls come crumbling down, it isn't going to happen. The MSM isn't picking up on the story (a little CIA/MSM/CYA going on IMHO), thus the majority of the public isn't catching on - thus no interest outside of bloggers and the principles.
So my take is that we'll have more 'revelations', 'hearings, etc, but that's about it. Weldon's book will sell a lot of copies.
The fact is that - and catch my drift - there are people that feel that keeping the truth at bay is better at this time than to "let it all hang out."
A sham, yeah. Incredible, yeah that too. But it won't be the first time and it's likely not to be the last.
"Cobweb" is Cheney. If you don't believe me, ask the London Times:
These top-secret code names have been used at various times by the SS:Acrobat/Andy: Andrews Air Force Base
Angel/Cowpuncher: Air Force One
Bamboo: Presidential motorcade
Baseball: Secret Service Training Division
Birds-eye: Department of State
Bookstore: White House Communications Center
Cactus: Camp David
Cement Mixer: White House Situation Room
Cobweb: Vice President's office
Magic: Helicopter co-ordination command post
Pacemaker: Vice President's staff
Playground: Pentagon helicopter pad
Pork Chop: Old Senate Office Building
Roadhouse: Waldorf Astoria hotel, New York City
Wheels Down: Air Force One has landed
That would explain how they gagged the FBI witness, too.

To substantiate your claim you link to a hacker's web site? Seems extremely flaky to me. I've been posting your posts to my Able Danger blogroll, but I may have to reconsider continuing to do so.

Actually, Mac's Mind admits it's the VP in his latest post:
So why "Cobweb's" involvement?
That's unknown, although I could speculate that only the VP would wield power over both the Pentagon and FBI witnesses.
