I seem to recall that one of the players, perhaps Ramzi Yousef, was (or had been) a member of Hussein’s intelligence agency.
Most people involved have since recanted their stories that Able Danger identified two of the 9/11 hijackers, but now that we see how the Democrats coerce conformity to the accepted story, I'm not sure that Able Danger was the miss that Clinton Democrats needed it to be.

Hmmmm. If only he had related some of that in that (stupid as he was) phone call he made just before he left the USA.
Now, one of their guys shot the Rabbi in 1996(?). I used to have their names memorized but only Yousef and Mahmoud Abouhalima come to mind this afternoon on short notice.
I do remember that Holy Land Foundation was an unindicted co-conspirator of sorts with Sami Al-Arian. I think he had a local cable show in Florida called “Peace Be Upon You” or some other sort of islamic nonsense.
Rabbi Kahane in NYC.
Thank you for that. An important piece of news, should not be forgotten.
Nice revisionist history. Clinton didn’t do a damn thing to slow down Al Queda. It’s 100% on his watch. Bush didn’t even have his leadership confirmed until well into 2001, much less. 9/11 is only different because the results were far worse than the same exact building being bombed from underneath 8 years previous. Al Queda grew stronger and stronger between 1993 and 2001 and nothing would have changed that. The effort of assisting the northern alliance was the correct approach. without question. On one hand you are saying we shouldn’t do anything in Iraq. On the other hand you are saying we didn’t do enough in Afghanistan . NO ONE EVER, EVER, EVER said we went in to Iraq because they did 9/11. That’s Moonbat stupidity to repeat that now among the right. After 9/11, the mission was (and should still be) to root out any leaders funding and promoting terror. Saddam was. He was a massive destabilizing force, having refused to abide by his agreed surrender terms and continuing to pay for suicide bombers in Israel. He was not Al Queda, but our efforts were not exclisive to Al Queda. Your attacks on Bush are an attack on our military who drew up plans to best prosecute the war.
I have no answer on Saudi’s role, but that’s not Bush. There is a bigger reason that goes way beyond one person. I have no clue why they are a protected class among those countries.
It is utterly shocking we’re debating this on FR and with 180 degree opposite view as the past 15 years. Embarrassingly shocking.

I would opt for BOTH.
The guy who supposedly outed curveball as “unreliable” was Tyler Drumheller, a partner of Hillary’s personal intel supplier, Sid Blumenthal. Tyler was fed his info on Curveball by the Germans, who at the time were busting Iraq sanctions.
Tyler later fed info on Libya he obtained from ? to Sid Blumenthal, who passed Tyler’s reports to Hillary Clinton via her non-gov email. That Libyan intel, prior to Benghazi, must have been some high quality stuff./s
The big problem with the Curveball situation was that a massive conclusion was drawn essentially from the hearsay claims of a single source. This speaks of an intent to produce a particular on-paper outcome whether or not it was at variance with reality, and not of a search for valid intelligence.
