Well, maybe, but you got most of the big points right, it seems to me…and the only way to have avoided mistakes on this story would have been to remain completely silent…I suspect we haven’t heard the last of it yet, for better or worse…

Able Danger – Great Summer Story – 9

I’ll read the W Post story and try and get a post out this PM. I agree with you it was using public domain data that got them in trouble.
