Scott J. Phillpott is an Navy officer who has come forward to say that an intelligence program named Able Danger pegged Mohamed Atta as a terror suspect in 2000. When Phillpott and Colonel Shaffer, another officer tried to give the information on Atta to the FBI they were 'overruled' by military lawyers.
Lawyers? Yep the pencil pushers somewhere in the military put the kybosh on sharing military information with the FBI. Members of the Sept. 11 commission talked with Phillpott and concluded that Atta was a member of an al Quada cell in New York. Amazing. Back in 2000 we knew what Al Quada was about, we knew they had a history of death and destruction, but yet some moron decided not to tell the FBI. To add insult to injury, the commission concluded that Phillpott's intelligence program "did not turn out to be historically significant."

Political correctness, political stupidity... a little redundant?

She just wants to get to the "truth" concerning 9/11.
Um....Yes.

WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?
Was it simply the constraints of his liberal mindset, or was it something even more threatening to our national security?
Why hillary clinton should never be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office... or any position of power--THE SERIES
REASON 1: MISSUS CLINTON HIRED JAMIE GORELICK
Political correctness was only a part of the story. Clinton also had no use for the military or any other agency that would actually take action in keeping America safe (Probably preferred that CIA & FBI & State Dept. were there as decorations on a Christmas tree) He was so involved in saving his own ass over the Lewinsky thing he couldn't possibly concentrate on getting terrorists in the US too. I think its wrong to claim stupidity (political or otherwise) when you're in the CIA< FBI or the Chief Executive of the United States.
I grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn (my mom still lives there) which has a large Arab pop. I really wonder how much Islamofascism is happening among all those folks. You see more women with the hijab (head shmatte)than I care to look at----some of their husbands would do better wearing the hijab.
