However, knowing the Agenda and the Players in the US media, I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks for posting.
The big sales job now is to make sure we think all that happened was that some things got overlooked, somehow just slipped through the cracks.
But the Clinton administration specifically and actively HELPED these guys and PROTECTED them.
A year before the 9/11 attacks, Able Danger identified hijack leader Mohamed Atta and the other members of his cell. But Clinton administration officials stopped them -- three times -- from sharing this information with the FBI.
Now the Commission is lying about being told, getting caught lying, changing their lies... Also they first lied that this protection was done because Atta had a green card, but that was weak enough to draw fire so they changed that to a new lie about why they had to protect Atta and his boys.
This reminds me of the three little Aruban creeps who lied and were proven to be lying so they changed to new lies and then lied about why they lied to start with.
Yes, the 24/7 coverage of Aruba is, along with the crackpot mutha's triumph in the sun at Crawford, a media distraction from real earth shaking historic news.

Google News still has nothing on this except the usual VRWC rags - and other "nut-job" outlets. I wish this article was front and center of every household's major breadwinner in "flyover" country as he leans down to look at the Sunday paper. There just might be some pitchforks at the doors of congress... But, alas, I can only dream.
It will be interesting to see the reaction to this by the administration.
like so much of what the MSM hails. Why? Because it's in the advertising business. Veracity is strictly coincidental and, as this demonstrates, often unwanted.

In a way, this is reassuring. US Intelligence didn't drop the ball. It was kicked out of their hands at gunpoint. Only a top level government official could prevent us from defending ourselves.
The clinton legacy -- bringing you back into the dark ages.
The government was quick to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Wilson-Plame-CIA affair. Where is the investigation to determine who's at fault here? More than three thousand Americans are dead because government officials dropped the ball.
So, they really thought this guy was a threat, but they put it all in a filing cabinet and forgot about it because...they were told he had a green card? And they accepted this? In the face of evidence of a threat to the citizens of the US, they just dropped it? Hell--freaking--OOO!
Like one guy couldn't call up is golf buddy at FBI and say, "hey, I've got a live one for you?"
It will be depressing. The Bush administration will do nothing to encourage this story to come to light and credibility. The Commission is denying it, the media is discounting it---and for sure somebody is digging frantically into Curt Weldon's grammar school records, just in case.
How very interesting..
Another posted article here on FR noted that the commission's disclaimer was that Atta did not recieve his visa until MAY 2000, and "couldn't have been in the country before then..
The relevant data discussed by the officer showed Atta to be a member of an al-Qaida cell in New York City from February to April 2000, the statement said. But the commission knew that according to travel and immigration records, Atta first obtained a U.S. visa on May 18, 2000, and first arrived in the United States on June 3, 2000, the statement said.
9/11 Commissioners Defend Intel Omission
Yet, in THIS ARTICLE, there is a statement "from the commission" saying:
The CIA, and the 9/11 commission, say Atta wasn't in Prague April 9, 2001, because his cell phone was used in Florida that day. But there is no evidence of who used the phone. Atta could have lent it to a confederate. (It wouldn't have worked in Europe anyway.)
So, which IS IT?
Seems the Commission is saying Atta WAS here, and WASN'T here in practically the same breath!!!
He was in Florida in May, (or in Prague) but either way, he had a cell phone registered in his name in the US, on APRIL 9, 2000..
Yet, Commission officials insist he didn't apply for a visa until MAY 18, 2000, and didn't arrive in the US until JUNE 3, 2000..
These people need to be charged, and forced to testify before a Grand Jury, every one of them...
Then indicted, tried, and sent to jail for a very long time..
I know, it will never happen..
Yes, it will.............
Bush chastises Ashcroft in private statements at the White House
< snip >
Ashcroft, Justice rebuked
In opening remarks before commissioners began their inquiry, Bush told commission members he was disappointed with the Justice Department and its treatment of Jamie Gorelick, a commission member and a former Justice Department official.
NBC's David Gregory reported that Bush specifically criticized Attorney General John Ashcroft in connection with Gorelick's treatment. The president told commissioners he did not approve of the fingerpointing.
A smoking gun for Hillary in '08. It's surprising to see a major paper carrying this story.
Ping to #54
Fox News Channel has been firehosing cold water on this story all morning.
There was a REAL spinmeister on Fox and Friends, some schmuck no one has ever heard of. God, has our nation ever been in such a shape? And, less than twenty years from the departure of Reagan from the White House.
Only a new party will suffice to get us back on track.
The Sunday talk shows ignored it too.
The FoxSunday news show panel with Chris Wallace discussed it and several said they didn't believe it!
It really adds truth to the belief that the entire Clinton administration was based on the need of a set amount of american deaths.
Just watched the Fox News Sunday panel discuss this issue...and none of them thought it is credible, concluding it's a "conspiracy theory".
If Fox doesn't focus on this....no one will.
Methinks the story's going nowhere.
