Rep. Curt Weldon (R- Pennsylvania) totally went off on the Defense Department because of what he's learned about a DOD smear campaign aimed at a Lt. Cololonel Schaffer - who apparently has evidence that operation Able Danger had identified Mohammad Atta as a terrorist threat a year before 9/11, and also reportedly identified the threat to the U.S.S. Cole days before it was attacked.
Weldon railed against the Defense Intelligence Agency on CSPAN Wednesday night, calling the agency stupid, incompetent and accused it of conspiring to wreck Schaffer's reputation by creating rumors about affairs with members of Weldon's staff and deliberately removing his military benefits in order to silence him.
"I'm not a conspiracy theorist," said Weldon. "But something is very, very wrong here. Schaffer's being abused and used as a scapegoat, and we can't let that happen in America."

In any case, I don't think I've ever seen a congressmen as pissed as Weldon was on CSPAN tonight. And he's a Republican!
Can't wait to hear what comes of this.
