The wolf, seeing her come in, said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, “Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come get into bed with me.”

Little Red Riding Hood took off her clothes and got into bed. She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, “Grandmother, what big arms you have!”

“All the better to hug you with, my dear.”

“Grandmother, what big legs you have!”

“All the better to run with, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big ears you have!”

“All the better to hear with, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”

“All the better to see with, my child.”

“Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!”

“All the better to eat you up with.”

And, saying these words, this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood, and ate her all up.

There is no evidence that the Pentagon has charged Shaffer with pen stealing. They have not ever said they did this.

Shafffer’s lawyer is CLAIMING this. The AP reporter who wrote the story is posted on a website called “US Labor Against the War.”

Hardly what I’d call a credible source.

Here is the article they post by her: “Congressman: Defense knew 9/11 hijackers”
http://uslaboragainstwar.org/article.php?&list=classt&type=3&class=3&all=1&nointro=1

These leftist sites are promoting the lie that the Bush Administration facilitated 9-11.

So you can ask By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer what the AP saw.

Really? Only if I think that Mary Mapes is now an AP stringer.

I naturally assume someone made sure that the documents were professionally prepared and had the appropriate, header, a date, a to/from, etc. Of course, I haven’t seen them. Have you?

CBS 60 Minutes fell for the fabricated “Rathergate/Memogate” documents about Bush. And they had computer-generated copies from Kinkos. Burkett didn’t just flash the papers at Mary Mapes.

I am holding out for the Kinko’s copies. And the sound of Rumsfeld’s other shoe dropping at the Pentagon.

So yes. The authenticity of the documents Mark Zaid is flashing to the AP has not been established. Shaffer hangs out with Weldon, who gets his intelligence from people the CIA characterize as fabricators, and writes ludicrous books.

I have seen people tell reporters they had “secret tapes” and the reporters wrote down what the source claimed the tape said without ever listening to the tape.

AP could be anyone. Who saw these documents? How did he authenticate them? Did Zaid give the AP reporter a copy of the documents? You might start by getting the original AP article.

The Pentagon is NOT commenting on Shaffer. That means if someone asks, they don’t comment. To deny the authenticity of the papers that Zaid showed to the AP would be commenting. These purported Pentagon documents are not published anywhere. Zaid showed them to the AP.

None of this stuff is authenticated.

Here is TIME on Weldon’s fudging:

“In a particularly dramatic scene in Weldon’s book, Countdown to Terror, the Pennsylvania Republican described personally handing to then-Deputy National Security Adviser Steve Hadley, just after Sept. 11, an Able Danger chart produced in 1999 identifying Atta. But Weldon told TIME he’s no longer certain Atta’s name was on that original document. The congressman says he handed Hadley his only copy. Still, last week he referred reporters to a recently reconstructed version of the chart in his office where, among dozens of names and photos of terrorists from around the world, there was a color mug shot of Mohammad Atta, circled in black marker.”

Weldon’s story is one of the dumbest stories I ever heard. How could Weldon have an original Able Danger chart right after 9-11 and “forget” if M. Atta was on it?

Don’t you think the reporters (a) noted the source of the letter, (b) checked out the source of the letter? You are truly grasping here. For your claim to be right the reporters would have been shown a sheet of paper with no header, to/from, date, etc. and bought it as real.

I just point out that these allegations are only “according to” paperwork shown by Shaffer’s attorney Mark Zaid to The Associated Press.

Does anyone want to slow down long enough to notice that the Pentagon hasn’t actually commented on Zaid’s claims? Where are there any Pentagon sources quoted saying that Shaffer stole pens in this article? THERE AREN’T ANY!

Here is the only official source the WP used:
“Citing concerns with the privacy act, Cmdr. Terry Sutherland, a Defense Intelligence Agency spokesman, declined to release ANY INFORMATION on Shaffer.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/30/AR2005093000117.html

The WP does say that “The military revoked Shaffer’s top security clearance this month, a day before he was supposed to testify to a congressional committee.” No source is cited for that.

Has the Pentagon directly told the WP or any news media that it revoked Shaffer’s clearance? What is the source for that?

Just pointing out a few facts. But I don’t suppose anyone EVER fabricates military documents in America. Naw! That never happened in the history of the world.

Boys and Girls, welcome to Politics, where no one does the time for their crime. Get the Senate involved??? They already are were. How soon we forget. Poor Schaffer basically gets booted from working in his profession of 30 years, and all he got was these stupid Pentagon Pens.

Life, as well as the wheels of Govt., roll on.

They should have just walked away. Pens!

How about we all donate some pens to the PENtagon so they don’t have to be so hard on Shaffer.

(why am I thinking ‘Schaffer Pens’????)

Pens?!!!! This stuff is moronic.

Okay, Captain Ed and AJ Strata, I’m convinced. The Pentagon is trying to hide something in regard to the Able Danger situation, because this is just pathetic:Shaffer says he received a Bronze Star medal for work on a classified operation
