Curt Weldon, “Secret Agent Man” ‘Able Danger Man’.
There’s a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won’t live to see tomorrow…

Senior Member of Congress met with Front Man for Arms Dealer, Sources Say
The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), has recently held meetings in Paris with a front man working for Iranian arms dealer and Iran-Contra figure Manucher Ghorbanifar, US and foreign intelligence sources tell RAW STORY.
In July 2005, it was reported that Congressmen Hoekstra had travelled to Paris along with Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA), the No. 2 Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, to meet with Ghorbanifar front man Fereidoun Mahdavi.
he wasn’t invited this time, maybe it’s the radar

Chicolini: Now I aska you one. What is it has a trunk, but no key, weighs 2,000 pounds and lives in the circus?
Prosecutor: That’s irrelevant.
Chicolini: Irr-elephant? Hey, that’s the answer! There’s a whole lotta irr-elephants in the circus.
Minister/Judge: That sort of testimony we can eliminate.
…along with any other elephant incriminating evidence about the circus in Washington.
I dunno, I think Crazy Curt had it right: attack the people, ‘cuz they’re what’ll take him down.
Prosecutors among the readers correct me if I’m wrong, but when it comes to influence-peddling, there just ain’t much in the way of documentation — other than bank records, maybe, which aren’t something that a shredder in a suburban den can do much about.
It’s testimony: I was there, and he said he’d do the thing. Then the thing happened. Then he got money.
The ones who should be worried are the insiders from Itera. And last I heard, the big boys from Gazprom had, well, more direct ways of ensuring that embarassing testimony isn’t heard in open court.
