As A Member Of AIP, Palin Might Not Be Able To Get Security Clearance
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 09:21 AM by cryingshame
someone just said on another thread-

to get military security clearance, they check for membership in a list of parties and organizations and Communist and AIP are on that list as well as Hawaiian Secessionists.

1. Y'know, that in itself, is more damaging than any babygate
I have a clearance. It's a bitch and yes, being part of any movement from gangbanging to Communism is an immediate rejection.

Does anyone know if the AIP actually has documented proof she was a member?

3. Wouldn't That Be Special...
A VP who couldn't get security clearance. If she's briefed, she's have to be arrested. How did we ever get here?

4. There is an exception to that.
The president has unilateral authority to grant any clearance to any person at any time.

Also, the president automatically gains the top security celarance.

No background checks necessary.

6. Oh, thanks! We learned that during the Plame Scandal (POTUS can grant clearance)
although Junior having to do so for Palin would look really odd.

7. You know what? You're absolutetly correct.
What an extremely valid point. My husband filled out the paperwork for his Security Clearance a few years ago and just for his clearance in the Army, it was very thorough. I don't see how she can be cleared with that in her past.
