It could be a visa - I heard something mentioned on the radio about Atta and green card in the same sentence when I was busy doing something else.

Either way, the Clinton administration used this as an excuse to leave Atta alone. Bill Clinton is responsible for 9/11.

Well, legally there is a very big difference between being a green card holder and not. If Atta didn't even have a green card, the legal argument for not passing along the info goes up in smoke even quicker.
