...The former intelligence official said the first Able Danger report identified all four men as members of a "Brooklyn" cell, and was produced within two months after Mr. Atta arrived in the United States. The former intelligence official said he was among a group that briefed Mr. Zelikow and at least three other members of the Sept. 11 commission staff about Able Danger when they visited the Afghanistan-Pakistan region in October 2003...

That's the reason Gorelick was on the commision. To keep her ass and the administration she worked for's ass...squeaky clean and minty freash.
Not that it matters--it's the institutional problems that caused all this, seems to me. That's one thing I wish W was more eager to do, rip the heck out of State, CIA and FBI and start fresh. But it does seem that he IS getting there, finally.

or minty fresh depending if you use the spell check or not....
That's one mighty loooooooong excerpt.
good job on Able Danger's part, too bad a wall and 'legalities' got in the way.
btw, I think I spotted a couple of them data miners in the hills. ;-)
How about the terrorist Al-Midhar and Hanjour
who crashed flight 77 into the Pentagon. They
were in our San Diego phone book.
Clinton just kept kicking the can. No wonder Sandy Berger
was playing hide the docs.
ROFL!!!
What a Good Graphic!
Data mining ping!
I had to shrink the pic a bit so Ted could get his fat arse thru the mine entrance. ;-)
Is that why, Kerry has the stupid smirk on his face?
Kerry was born with that look. ;-)
Have a good one!
Robert S. Mueller,III was sworn in as FBI Director on September 4, 2001. His confirmation hearings began on July 30, 2001.
Thomas Pickering was acting director until Mueller succeeded Louis Freeh. Freeh was director 1993-2001, and for some unknown (to me) reason, Freeh has never received the criticism he so richly deserves for FBI failures under his watch. If Freeh couldn't protect the FBI's integrity under Clinton, he should have resigned years earlier. Under Freeh, the FBI was (I believe), thoroughly corrupted and deballed!
If you have time to read

you'll find the Senate paid scant attention to terrorism, during Mueller's confirmation hearings. Patrick Leahy more interested in the FBI hiring minorities than in protecting America from terrorists.

Travis, thanks for the ping. Below is a reply that I posted on the other thread re this important data mining by our MI.
"Would someone please help an old Freeper with an old memory?:"
1. Who were the co presidents during 1999 and 2000?
2. Who was the drugged out Lesbian Attorney General during this time who was more interested in evil White Male Christians with legal guns?
3. Who was the Vice President during this time, who invented the internet?
4. Who was Jamie Gorelick, and what was her political party?
5. Who was the guy who later stuffed his trousers with illegal and beyond top secret material? What was his cabinet position in 1999=2000?"
Thanks for posting this. Amazing that this was published by the NY Slimes. Which means they are probably afraid of spiking this story like what they have done with the Err Amerika scam where money was taken from the poor to broadcast the lies of Err Amerika.
