Will the Bush administration continue to sleep with the enemy?

According to this story there is a known administration official who was given proof of the Able Danger - Atta connection. There is a video of a chart with Atta's photo in a presentation given to the Heritage Foundation. Since the video has no close up, this is not yet proof but the context of the video with statements by Weldon and the chart seem to lend some credibility that this was discussed. This chart was the unclassified version, but Weldon states he gave a copy of the full classified version where Atta's picture is clearly visible to administration official Steve Hadley.

If past performance is indicative, my prediction is that the Bush administration is going to state that they can not find the file given to Hadley. From Pardongate, to Clinton passing on a chance to get Bin Laden, to Sandy Berger, the Bush administration seems to have no stomach for whole-heartedly going after any democrat for criminal behavior, gross negligence or deception. My guess is now that Curt Weldon and others have stuck their neck out to get to the truth, Bush will throw them under the bus to avoid a partisan confrontation.

We all know how the media would spin an agressive investigation into democrat wrong doing, but if they did wrong it is the right thing to do to pursue it. Don't let people hang out to dry for doing the right thing. It is obvious that no friendship can occur nor points scored with the left. Whether you confront them or embrace them, they will hate you because either way you have acquired political power that was once theirs and they view it as their right to keep regardless of the electorate.
