What are the undeniable facts with this whole Able Danger affair? Help me out here:
1) Was there an Able Danger program? Apparently, yes.
2) When did their data mining produce Atta's name as a potential terrorist?
3) Did their mining produce any of the other 9/11 hijackers' names?
4) How many names did the mining produce in total? I'm just wondering if it spewed out thousands of names and was ignored because of that.
5) When did the AB staff try to notify the FBI or CIA or other agency (pre-9/11)?
6) Post 9/11, when did Able Danger become public knowledge?
7) What sort of presentation was made by the AB staff to the 9/11 staff? Was it just one guy saying he saw Atta's name on a presentation pre-9/11?
I guess I want to know more about the issue before condemning the 9/11 Commission. I want there to be some real meat to this issue.

Able Danger found the information about Atta and others in 1999 and tried that year and again in 2000 to tell people about it, but were told repeatedly that they couldn't share the information.
