No Evidence Pentagon Knew of Atta, Panel Says

washington post ^ | August 13, 2005 | Dan Eggen

[Mr. Mojo]

The docs are long gone. ....never to be retrieved.

And the criminals will skate, as usual.

[Real Cynic No More]

Now's the time for the Pentagon briefers to bring out the tapes of their conversation with the 9/11 staffers they briefed.

[SerpentDove]

>>Rep. Curt Weldon said today on Fox News that there are 15 unexamined boxes of documents(!), and now 11 witnesses(!!), (NOT just 1), who are willing to testify under oath.<<

If this was going to be treated as it should be, as a criminal investigation, what would the next step be? Would Alberto Gonzales appoint a Special Prosecutor?

LYING GLOBALIST TRAITORS.

Yes and we will find out just how American our GOP'ers are.

[SERKIT]

"Nor do any of the staff notes on documents reviewed in the [Defense Department] reading room indicate that Mohamed Atta or any of the other future hijackers were mentioned in any of those documents."

Okay, all this means is that the Weldon-related documents may be somewhere else at THIS moment in time, it's not like they DON'T exist. Hate to parse here, but this latest rendition lacks credulity.

Nondenial denial

"...there are 15 boxes of information that the 9/11 Commission never looked at with regard to Able Danger?"

Yep, and do you remember when Kean was complaing that the WH was impeding them from obtaining information.. Seems Kean and fellow rats were only interested in obtaining info that wasn't damaging to the Rats.

He was just on Fox and he has said that he only found out 3 months ago that the commission staffers didn't forward the information given to them by the military intelligence officers. He gave a speech on the floor of Congress back in June which got buried...and was eventually picked up by the NY Times.

why do you suppose the NYT ran the story now? I think we can assume they have an agenda.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm trying to remember a story about documents. Someone took them home and they were stolen or something like that. Does anyone recall the specifics of that little scenario??

[Enchante]

Interesting how the WaPo is so much less capable of elementary research than this little newspaper rag (and Dieter Snell turns out to be right smack in the middle of this issue, just as he is with the matter of all the pre-9/11 information that was not pursued from the NYC terrorism investigations):

"The commission, however, said it first heard Atta mentioned in discussions about Able Danger on July 12, 2004, during an interview with a Navy officer. The officer told senior commission staff member Deiter Snell and another staffer that he recalled briefly seeing Atta's name and photo in a chart belonging to a Defense Department employee, and said the material was dated "February through April 2000." According to the commission, Atta first arrived in the United States on June 3, 2001, about three months before the airline he flew crashed into the World Trade Center. The Navy officer, who said the chart showed Atta to be a member of a terrorist cell in Brooklyn, complained that the identities of other cell members had been removed from the document because Pentagon lawyers were concerned about the propriety of the military's role with the FBI in a domestic intelligence operation. Eventually commission staffers found the military officer's description and explanation of Able Danger to be wanting and concluded the information was "not sufficiently reliable to warrant revision of the (9/11) report or further investigation.""

What version is it this week? The traitorous scum still deny responsibility for allowing terrorists to murder Americans.
