9/11 attackers on radar in '00? - (Clinton knew??..)

Under American law, U.S. citizens and green-card holders may not be investigated in intelligence-collection operations by the military or intelligence agencies. That protection does not extend to visa holders, but Weldon and the former intelligence official said it may have reinforced a sense of discomfort common before Sept. 11 about sharing intelligence information with a law-enforcement agency.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, I think this law was pushed through by Jamie Gorlick the Assistant of Janet Reno. Jamie Gorlick was handpicked by Hillary Clinton and was the real power in the office of Attorney General, Janet Reno was just an incompetent boozer.

IMHO Clinton Knew and Knew the dates they would hit NY.He was in Australia so he would be safe to hell with the rest of us.

According to Weldon's account of his conversation with Lehman there was "a lot of information" that the staff did not pass on.

Way to go Mr. Lehman, pass the buck."Staff did it."

[randog]

Sanity bump.

"If you hear the radio report with the Able Danger guys, will you post a thread here?"

Absolutely.

Weldon has been the voice crying in the desert for a l-o-n-g time, but it wasn't until he came out with a book on "what he knew, when he knew it, and who he told about it" that the CIA/FBI et al stopped ignoring his threats to bring all of this information to light .

Here's the link to his book.

I'm going to send a note to Mike Smerconish, the local radio host in Philly on the Big Talker and ask him to post the clips of the radio exchange with the Able Danger guys when he has them on.

Thank you, markedman.

Of course he "knew". Clintoon was too worried about stains on dresses and soggy cigars.

Wrong. Clinton knew, but he wasn't stopped by "stains on a dress". That was later.

Clinton's "terrorist units" were going after white middle-aged American men who used words like "constitution" and had high priest who killed policemen. ( Of course there's never been one documented case of one policemen being killed so someone could become a high priest, but it stirred up police forces at the time).

Clinton used the power of the government to go after the "vast right wing conspiracy" instead of UBL or Atta or any of the other real threats to our nation. There was a meeting in South Florida a few months before Hillary spilled the beans...

"Way to go Mr. Lehman, pass the buck."Staff did it.""

You've got the _wrong_ take on Lehman. Weldon phoned Lehman, Tom Kane and Lee Hamilton. Apparently all felt that they were not getting _all_ of the information that was coming into the commission. In Weldon's recent conversation with Hamilton and Lehman regarding this latest story, apparently both a pretty pissed over the ommission. It still does not change the conclusion of their report though:

Al Qaeda was at war with us for sometime but we as a nation did not treat is as such, and ignored them at our own peril.

They knew, the FBI knew....the Phoenix memos proved that long ago.

I keep saying that the same folks who allowed 9-11 brought you Waco.

[markedman]

"They knew, the FBI knew....the Phoenix memos proved that long ago."

Yeah, but this is the first smoking gun that the US Military and some CIA operatives wanted persmission to ambush 4 of the 9/11 Hijackers and were rebuffed, becuase of the memo that Gorelick published preventing the CIA and FBI from sharing information, and for political reasons related to Waco.

I'm just happy to know that Jack Bauer really is alive and well with his finger on the trigger somewhere.

[Darnright]

In case you haven't seen this...

[american spirit]

Check out an old FR thread called "Batting a Thousand" and you'll find some interesting info as to who knew what, when and where about the WTC-1 bombing that "only" killed a handful of people.

[Mister Baredog]

Headline news right?

I was in Europe when Hillary held up the NY Post on the Senate floor with the headline "BUSH KNEW". That photo was VERY BIG in Europe, front pages everywhere.

[mewzilla]

Paging Kristen Breitweiser....

[Thermalseeker]

Makes you wonder exactly what was stuffed down the pants of Sandy Berger.

Which makes me wonder why the Bush Administration and the DOJ hasn't really lowered the boom on Sandy (the) Burgerler....

[Thermalseeker]

I keep saying that the same folks who allowed 9-11 brought you Waco.

And Ruby Ridge, and TWA-800 and OKC Bombing and on and on and on......

[TAquinas]

Bubba The Great Stainmaker :)

He didn't know. He was busy with his pants down at the Oral Office with her Jewish Princess.

[BARLF]

If members of the 911 commission were aware of this problem and did nothing to correct it are they not at fault?

When the final report was written did they not all sign it?

Why did no one on the commission object to Gorelick being on this commission?

As far as I am concerned it was all a farce,a waste of tax payer money.Oh, but we mustn't place blame on Clinton adm. Gorelick, Berger,Albright.............

Why are Republicans such a spineless bunch of nice guys? Attorney John Ashcroft was the only one appearing before that commission with guts. I think it cost him his job,but I could be wrong. I've certainly been wrong before in my thinking.

[sandydipper]

Wonder what ever happened to the subponea for the thousands of eMails that the Clinton White House failed to provide to Starr??

-"I was in Europe when Hillary held up the NY Post on the Senate floor with the headline "BUSH KNEW". That photo was VERY BIG in Europe, front pages everywhere."

That was excatly my same thought as soon as I inserted my title...("Clinton knew?")
