Friday, Aug. 12, 2005 11:14 a.m. EDT Clinton Lawyers: Mohamed Atta Off-Limits

A year before the 9/11 attacks, Clinton administration lawyers told a group of military intelligence officers that information they had developed on 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta could not be shared with the FBI, saying of Atta himself: "You can't even touch him - it doesn't matter what information you have."

Rep. Curt Weldon, who helped develop the military intelligence group code-named "Able Danger," delivered the bombshell revelation in an interview Thursday with WABC Radio host Sean Hannity.

WELDON: In September of 2000 we tried on three occasions to take the information we had developed and pass it along to the FBI so they could follow up and take action against this [al-Qaida] cell and perhaps bring in Atta and question him and do whatever else was necessary. Three times we were turned down by lawyers in the administration.

HANNITY: We're talking about lawyers in the Clinton administration?

WELDON: Yes, it was the Clinton administration. Lawyers said there were two reasons why you can't do that. And they even put stickies over the face of Mohamed Atta on this chart they had. They said: "He's here legally. He's either got a green card or he's got a visa. So you can't even touch him - it doesn't matter what information you have." [END OF EXCERPT]

Moments later, Weldon said he was determined to find out who it was who ultimately gave the order to protect the lead 9/11 hijacker.

WELDON: The American people need to have answers. They need to have answers about who made the decision to stop our military intelligence from sharing information with the FBI, and how high up the ladder that went.

Did it stop at DoD? Or was the Justice Department involved in that decision? Or was the White House involved in that decision? [END OF EXCERPT]

So what if here was here legally or not??? Every legal US citizen that is suspected of a crime can fall under scrutiny by ANY law enforcement group. So what was the problem??? The fat tub of crap like Michael Moore are making BS movies about GWB and 9/11??? Gimme a break. Mark Levin was right: Clinton should be in an orange jumpsuit and leg irons along with all the others in his gang of corrupt SOB's.

As far out as they went to "protect" Atta...one wonders if he was some kind of agent for the Saudi government or a "part-time" spy for the US government. Its very curious that they spent alot of time talking issues on one character, who seemed out of place and doing something, and they didn't want the FBI on this character's tail.

For later.

I wonder if that hack Alex Jones will be making new videos about this and putting the blame on Clinton? Or will the AH keep blaming Bush?

[Awgie]

This is why liberals can't be trusted with any serious responsibility for running the country. Their idiotic ideas likely allowed 9/11, and without 9/11 we wouldn't have this war.

>"heavy duty foil.... Was this attack planned ( or known by clinton) before the election a year before in order to extend clintons time in office due to a marshall law order?"

Those D&%&mn jihadis, always late on their job assignments!
Why they were 2 days behind on the Ohio Marines assasinations to influence the special election.

Do You have any idea! Just how busy I am!

Alex Jones even tried to say that Rudy Guiliani had something to do with the attack in England, simply because he was there, and Guiliani said that the Brits were prepared.

Of course, they were prepared - this is the age of terrorism!!

Right after Alex made this silly statement, he starting selling his videos. Hmmmmmmmm
