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.

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.
