An Air Scamerica UpdateBrian Maloney and Michelle Malkin have been publishing a multi-part series of "Inside Air America" pieces that will likely shed new light on some of Err America's past operations. It appears to be a very good bit of investigative blogging,...Able Danger Details
Argus's Kranz With Latest Sensational Non-IssueCaptain's Quarters has about the most thorough and detailed treatment of the Able Danger situation where advance information about BinLaden and el Qaida was discovered, but then not passed to law enforcement because of an administrative wall of separation between DoD and the FBI.
As a result, 9-11 took place, and later, the 9-11 Commission was caught with their facts down, to what will be their ultimate shame, and loss of credibility due to 5 or 65 different versions of response in the week and a half the story has been out.
The inside-the-beltway media/political axis has circled the wagons big-time on this one. As it is developing, every time they have come up with some objection, it has been met, with first one, then three named sources corroborating the event(s).
Check it out for the whole run down. This one has legs.
Hagel On This WeekPeace group hopes to educate parents, students about recruiters
SD moonbats are alive and well in the so-called South Dakota Peace and Justice Center. At issue is the provision for schools to pass contact information to military recruiters.
The No Child Left Behind Act specifies that military recruiters must have the same access to contact information about students at the secondary-education level as those students' other prospective employers have.They are pushing an effort to isnsure that parents/students have the option to opt out on this contact information. WAIT! HOLD THE PRESS! If one reads to the end of Kranz's screed the information is provided that:
In the Sioux Falls School District, parents are made aware at the beginning of the year that they may keep their child's name out of a school directory, Superintendent Pam Homan says. "Parents annually grant permission to allow a student's independent use of the Internet, participate in school trips, to be photographed or filmed and be included in the school directory. It is a long-standing policy," she said. If a child's name is not included, then no one, including recruiters, can gain access to the student's name or information, she said.In other words, what the SDPJC is arguing for, and that Dave Kranz is giving coverage on, is a problem that was solved before it started - the "opt-out" has already been in place. Phew! The world is still safe for democracy.
Senator Chuck Hagel will be on This Week tomorrow morning. This might be worth TiVo-ing if we knew that Senator Hagel might bring some constructive suggestions for Iraq withdrawl timetables, but why bother?...The lying left continues
