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

Boy am I SHOCKED. Shocked I tell you.

[mtbopfuyn]

Any bets Gorelick knew?

[kittymyrib]

That was why Jamie Gorelik was put on the 9/11 Commission, to keep evidence incriminating the Clintoon administration out of the report. Since she was responsible for the "wall" between FBI and CIA investigations, no doubt to keep nosy agencies off the trail of all of Clinton's foreign contributors, she also had a personal interest in deflecting that feckless committee. God bless Congressman Weldon for bringing this to light. He'd better watch his back...

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

[SunTzuWu]

Sharing intel with law enforcement is the main thrust of the Patriot Act, and the thing the left seems to fear the most.

[Moose4]

OK, I'm no Bubba-lover, but let's be fair about this. The article says that the recommendation went to the SOC to send this info over to the FBI, and somebody in the SOC said no. That doesn't mean that Beezlbubba necessarily knew anything, or that he was the one that shot this down; I'd be highly surprised if it ever got anywhere near him.

What it DOES mean, however, is that the people that Clinton put into positions of power, the ones that enforced the "wall" between intelligence-gathering arms of the government--including that biatch Gorelick on the 9/11 Commission--screwed the pooch far, far worse than we thought. THAT, he can be held responsible for.

Do you suppose that this is some of what Sandy Berger was taking?

[TommyDale]

Clinton was most upset that the 9-11 event didn't happen while he was President, so he could have declared martial law and postponed the 2000 elections for 4 or 8 more years. He wanted so desperately to be in office during a disaster, to help his sagging (and bent) legacy.

bump for later read.

[markedman]

This really is breaking news. Congressman Kurt Weldon tried to get the 9/11 Commission to listen to some operatives associated with "Able Danger" but the staff refused to pass on the information to the commissioners.

He was on the Philly talk radio again this morning.

Imagine: The good guys asked permission to pull a Jack Bauer and take out 4 of the 9/11 hijackers, including Mo hammed Atta, A FULL YEAR before the incident and were rebuffed. A FULL YEAR!!!!

[American_Centurion]

The way Clinton waxed poetically at the missed opportunity to mourn for the nation because 9-11 came after his term. I wouldn't be surprised if in reality he knew and wanted to let it happen to "secure his legacy".


Disclaimer: though the above reads very similar to DU tinfoil moonbat rants about our current President, I do not really believe that even the Sink could allow something like that to happen.

[TheForceOfOne]

I believe Sandy "The Burglar" stole information that was harmful to Bill Clinton and by association his wife Hillary. I believe he was ask to risk jail time in order to retrieve this information at all cost.

Due to security clearance requirements and the small circle of people the Clinton's were willing to trust and share this plan with Sandy became the obvious fall guy.

You would think this kind of sacrifice would deserve a reward from the Clinton's, but what? or maybe they put the screws to him and told him he was going down alone so as a tip from his good friends the Clinton's he better try to save his butt and get those documents.

This whole thing stinks to high heaven but I will bet it all comes out in the wash during the 2008 presidential run by Hillary and she goes down in flames, big flames and Bill lands in legal limbo as charges of treason are considered against him. That's just my wild guess. ;)

military-intelligence unit ... Special Operations Command ... FBI ... CIA ... Immigration and Naturalization Service ... Land Information Warfare Assessment Center ... House Armed Services Committee ... House Homeland Security Committee ... House intelligence committee ... two congressional committees

If al-Qaeda was smart they would quit blowing themselves up. They should sit back, relax, and watch the 'Great Satan' collapse under the shear weight of its bloated bureaucracy.

[1Old Pro]

Let's remember, Hillary was co-President. Now she faces a race against Pirro who is tough on terrorism and Hillary let's terrorists walk.

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.

[solo gringo]

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.
