Information unearthed
The Washington-based FBI agent who was Shaffer's liaison has recalled, in interviews with her superiors, that Shaffer told her his group had unearthed important information on suspected Al Qaeda operatives with links to the U.S., but without mentioning Atta's name.
When Shaffer, who is also a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve, asked to whom at the FBI that information should be communicated, the agent gave him the name and phone number of an official at FBI headquarters, according to the senior FBI official.
Shaffer explained in a telephone interview that although Able/Danger never had knowledge of Atta's whereabouts, it had linked him and several other Al Qaeda suspects to an Egyptian terrorist, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who had been linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and later was convicted for conspiring to attack the U.S. Atta arrived in the U.S. some seven years after that bombing. But Shaffer and his attorney, Mark Zaid, emphasize that Able/Danger never knew where Atta was, only that he was connected to Abdel-Rahman and Al Qaeda.
"Not to say they were physically here, but the data led us to believe there was some activity related to the original World Trade Center bombing that these guys were somehow affiliated with," Shaffer said.

Clintoonians knew about 911 before it haqppened. Could explain why the RATS are after DeLay, Frist, & Rove with MSM in full swing. If the focus is on the trio, then no notice will be given of the clintoonians 911 conspiracy. Typical RAT policy: the best defense is a good offense.
more on Able Danger from vadkins.
Thanks for the bump.
A somewhat thoughfully assembled summary. At least we continue to see some journalist keeping the story alive. Perhaps we shall see little new shone if the hearings go private. I don't see any Clintoon operatives whether attached to the Defense establishment or holding some public office at the time getting the finger pointed at them. Once it goes behind doors, they will be protected. After all we are not on a witch hunt.
Poor whittle Jamie has no cause to worry. Nor Clark,Burgler, etc., if it is not a witch hunt, assuming they may have in some way known about AD which I continue to suspect they had no idea it even existed.
"Thanks for the bump."
Roger.
The Sun-Sentinel is the major daily newspaper of Broward and South Palm Beach counties. The leaking out continues. First the Chicago Tribune, now this. Excellent work, vadkins.
Seems like we should try to make a "story" out of these few leaks, see if Fox will cover it. (or maybe that's a fantasy.)
I read that article earlier this afternnon it is required readging for those intered in AD.
