Atta Boy, Democrats

National Security: The knowledge that Mohammed Atta was affiliated with al-Qaida was known at least a year before Sept. 11, but political correctness and walls between agencies built by Democrats kept it a secret.
Curt Weldon, R-Pa..."Two weeks after 9-11, my friends from the Army's information dominance center, in cooperation with special ops, brought me...this chart of al-Qaida...Mohammed Atta."
Lee Hamilton, co-chair of the 9-11 commission, said the commission "did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9-11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell . . . Had we learned of it, obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."
But they did learn of it. The New York Times reports that the 9-11 commission staff had the Able Danger data...
Commission staffers plan a trip to the National Archives to retrieve their notes on Able Danger's findings...where Clinton National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was caught stuffing classified documents about terrorist threats down his pants, presumably to remove them from public scrutiny.
And this is the same commission that included Jamie Gorelick, a deputy attorney general in the Clinton Justice Department...architect of the wall between intel and law enforcement, making "connecting the dots" before 9-11 a virtual impossibility.
..."single greatest structural cause" for 9-11, which was "the wall that segregated criminal investigators and intelligence agents."
...Maybe the focus will shift from how George Bush could have prevented 9-11 in his eight months in office to what Bill Clinton failed to do in eight years.
And maybe...the whiners who fight — on fears that swat teams will descend on public libraries — renewal of the Patriot Act to prevent the next Atta from flying a plane into a building, will just shut up, let us collect the dots and connect them.
