"First we hear that no such meeting occurred. After that, the Commission says one might have occurred in October 2003 but that no one remembered it. Now we find out that the Commission had two meetings where the heard about Able Danger and its identification of Mohammed Atta, including one just before they completed their report. Instead of saying to themselves, "Hey, wait a minute -- this changes the picture substantially," and postponing the report until they could look further into Able Danger, they simply shrugged their shoulders and published what they had."

Think of it: Members of the 9-ll Commission were lying YESTERDAY about what they knew and when they knew it.

Will the MSM ask "why" ?

[tiki]

The 9/11 Commision was just about blaming it all on Bush and they certainly weren't willing to come out with any evidence that Clinton is the one who dropped the ball.

[PhiKapMom]

These were briefings to their Staff according to Curt Weldon on Tony Snow yesterday. Said that two of the members of the 9-11 had never heard of this at all. Secretary Lehman was livid when he found out about this and I cannot remember the name of the other individual.

Noticed now they want to say it was the Commission now but Weldon said it was the Commission's staff.

Captain Ed once again on top of the news BUMP!!

[partyrepub]

Another Thank you clinton this is to big for the media to cover up...

[An Old Marine]

So what did the Commission do? It ignored those facts which did not fit within its predetermined conclusions.

I'm shocked.... you mean that members of the commission might actually have endangered the American public for a potential political gain.

YaYa, thanks for the ping on the other thread regarding this matter.

I just left you a message that I thought you should post this link on every thread about this matter, but being its own thread is even better.

Outstanding job.

The Cover-up Commission covers up the cover up.

[Tarpon]

There you have it, the biggest DOT of all didn't make the cut. This means that the cornerstone of the 9/11 Commission's conclusions no longer fit the facts. Able Danger showed that the U.S. had actionable intelligence, if the Clinton administration had allowed law enforcement and intelligence operations to cooperate with each other.

So now we know, what are we going to do next? Keep a sharp eye out for the finger pointing to begin. One line to watch for is 'the Pentagon withheld information from the 9/11 commission' -- Standard fare for cover ups.

Yoohoo, Jersey gals, remember those Bush bashing beauties that were the talk of the town when the left was trying to hang the lapses of 9/11 on President Bush. I think we have found the DOT you were looking for. What say y'all now? We're waiting.

A legitimate unbiased MSM press would be hounding the daylights out of Jamie Gorelick about now (whatever rock she is presenty under). Beyond Atta and the direct Al-Qaida perpetrators, Gorelick is the person most responsible for 9-11 being a successful terrorist operation.

[Peach]

And while the Clinton policy of enforcing a quarantine between law enforcement and intelligence operations came under general criticism, their report never included the fact that the "wall" for which Commission member Jamie S. Gorelick had so much responsibility specifically contributed to Atta's ability to come and go as he pleased, building the teams that would kill almost 3,000 Americans.

When Gorelick wasn't forced to resign, we knew it was going to be all about protecting Clinton's legacy.

[airborne]

Time for a Commission to investigate the Commission.

Chairman - Karl Rove !!!

[Brytani]

Hell, I'm still waiting for the MSM to admit it was the Clinton administration not the Bush administration that did not go after Atta.

Won't hold my breath.

[dead]

The following information, posted by Southack last night, blew me away:

1 year prior to the 9/11 WTC/Pentagon attacks, Mohamed Atta's Saudi Arabian roommate crashed his Piper Cherokee private aircraft into a Piper Aztec commercial flight in Florida. The date: 9/11/2000.

Here's the government report from that crash

[Right_in_Virginia]

BTTT

[Samurai_Jack]

WARNED!!!!
The Sept. 11 commission was WARNED by a UNIFORMED military officer 10 days before issuing its final report that the account would be INCOMPLETE without reference to [Able Danger]

KNEW!!!?
The officials said that the information had not been included in the report because aspects of the officer's account had sounded inconsistent with what the commission KNEW about that Qaeda member, Mohammed Atta, the plot's leader...

KNEW!!?? They werent supposed to KNOW ANYTHING... they were commissioned to FIND OUT!!

[mewzilla]

The MSM is trying to blame the staffers.

Note to the MSM: Nice try...

[MizSterious]

Most won't. I'm betting Brit Hume will, but few others measure up to his journalistic integrity.

[TexasCajun]

"We, The People" have been lied to!

And at the risk of our national security!

I'm dumbfounded. ...and mad as hell.

[Peach]

Has anyone looked through the staff reports to see if Able Danger even made it into those reports?

A lot of stuff in the staff reports never made it into the final report. For example, although there was mention of Salmon Pak in a December 2003 staff report, I don't think Salmon Pak was ever mentioned in the final report.

And I want to see Congressional hearings with under oath testimony from the staff and Commission as to why the findings of Able Danger wasn't explored.

[markedman]

What a damning article. I still can't believed the NY Times is actually publishing it; no doubt to take heat off of their skullduggery into Roberts children's adoption records.
