The intelligence officer recalled carrying documents to the offices of Able Danger, which was being run by the Special Operations Command, headquartered in Tampa, FL. The documents included a photo of Mohammed Atta supplied by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service and described Atta’s relationship with Osama bin Laden. The officer was very disappointed when lawyers working for Special Ops decided that anyone holding a green card had to be granted essentially the same legal protections as any U.S. citizen. Thus, the information Able Danger had amassed about the only terrorist cell they had located inside the United States could not be shared with the FBI, the lawyers concluded.

“We were directed to take those 3M yellow stickers and place them over the faces of Atta and the other terrorists and pretend they didn’t exist,” the intelligence officer told GSN.

DoD lawyers may also have been reluctant to suggest a bold action by FBI agents after the bureau’s disastrous 1993 strike against the Branch Davidian religious cult in Waco, TX, said Weldon and the intelligence officer.

Yep, He flat out said that the democratic staff member on the committee (whose name escapes me right now but it begins with a "Z") was briefed, and did not pass on the information to the committee members.

That is what I thought he meant this morning; I am glad he was specific.

That is OUTRAGEOUS! And Rep.Weldon said the 9/11 Commission had no idea about this?

Fox just said congressional hearings will be necessary, because the 9/11 Commission has disbanded. DID they disband?

OK but Why? Would the Clinton Administration actually be ruthless enough to set up Bush out of spite? Would they allow 3000 plus people be killed thinking it would blow up in the GOP's face? That's the question or is this object stupidity and incompetence?

They could not hear this anyway, they are corrupted when it comes to this issue.

Although I do think they are ruthless enough to set up Bush, I think that this Able Danger group was kept from sharing their information because of overly PC attitudes and a desire to not set the precedent of sharing info. The reason they didn't want information shared is that it is much easier to get away with corruption when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Follow the Money: Is NARAL's attack on John Roberts about abortion rights or abortion profits?

The Clinton administration had a mindset of "let future presidents worry about it" IMO. If Clinton could have given as much effort to constructive governing as he did to taking off his pantz, we'd be much better off.

Well Congressman Weldon does not sound like a wild-eyed nut, so he smells something amiss. I hope he finds it!

Rush going off, Biden lied about his meeting with Roberts! NY Times I guess.

Weldon has been fantastic this morning on FNC. One of the best interviews I've ever seen.

I was so glad to hear that several investigations were occurring into this matter. Big time cover-up.

If we knew some of this stuff, about the FBI ignoring Atta, how could the Commission NOT know?
