What did Bill Clinton know and when did he know it?

Bill Clinton never knew anything. He was having too good a time doing anything but being President.

The 9/11 Commission is lying if they say they didn't know! If we can figure out that most of the planning started during Clinton they could too. They just decided to look the other way and to cover their own *sses (especially Gorelick) to what really happened.

I don't think there was a day during those hearings that I didn't email something to the 911 Commission about Gorelick needing to be on the other side of the witness table with PROOF of what she did. Of course, they ignore me.

"The 9/11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell," said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. "Had we learned of it obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."

That is such BS! They didn't want to know the truth or Jamie Gorelick would have been a witness under oath! And yes, it could have been in Sandy's pants along with numerous other things he was trying to COVER UP for the CLINTONS!

They didn't want the truth to come out and we all know it! Those hearings were nothing but a BUSH BASH by some of the biggest liars in DC, IMO.

Weldon said that in September 2000 Able Danger recommended that its information on the hijackers be given to the FBI "so they could bring that cell in and take out the terrorists." However, Weldon said Pentagon lawyers rejected the recommendation because they said Atta and the others were in the country legally so information on them could not be shared with law enforcement.

PAGING JAMIE GORELICK!!!

Testimony of Attorney General John Ashcroft The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States April 13, 2004,

This memorandum established a wall separating the criminal and intelligence investigations following the 1993 World Trade Center attack, the largest international terrorism attack on American soil prior to September 11. Although you understand the debilitating impact of the wall, I cannot imagine that the Commission knew about this memorandum, so I have declassified it for you and the public to review. Full disclosure compels me to inform you that its author is a member of this Commission.

Weldon was on Fox and Friends this a.m. discussing this. Among other things, he cannot understand why "Able Danger" was not mentioned one time in the thick 9/11 Commission's report.

Edie Hill brought up Sandy Berger....is it possible that he may have taken any documents relating to this....Weldon said he would hope not.....

........more than interesting....

No wonder Bill Clinton has been so quiet and careful about not blaming President Bush for 9/11. I have long suspected that Mr. Berger and Mr. Clinton are dirty on this. Not that it will matter, they'll slither out of it!

Weldon did a fantastic job today on FNC. One of the best presentations I've seen.

When asked why Rumsfeld didn't do anything with this information or how he couldn't know about it, Weldon reminded the FNC reporter that this happened during the Clinton administration.

When asked on FNC why it took two months for this to get attention, Weldon said he's been talking about it openly since June 2005 and he can't account for what the media is interested in. LOL

Do you think Rep. Weldon's Able Danger revelations have anything to do with Berger's plea deal going south?

Poor choice of words on my part. I should've said that his July 8th sentencing date was postponed. And IIRC, it was about a week after Weldon's speech on the House floor. Interesting timing.

Hah! Possible, and then Gorelick is my best bet for stifling the info once it WAS brought to the committee's attention.

Fox News said a few minutes ago that they confirmed the 911 committee got the Defense Dept information regarding the military unit.

Now if it got stuck at the staff level is another question, but Weldon wants the staff to testify before Congress UNDER OATH.

Someone blocked it, and I'm betting on Gorelick or someone working for "her."
