If the Commission staff had conducted a legit investigation, they'd just publish a transcript of their 2003 Afganistan interview with Able Danger officers to prove there was no mention of Atta. Maybe Commission staff made their notes Gorelick friendly because Pentagon lawyers referenced Commission member and former general counsel of DoD Gorelick in their denial to the Able Danger request to inform the FBI. For such an important investigation, why weren't interviews recorded?
Without recorded interviews, analyzing discrepancies and doing followup interviews would be impossible. How would a legitimate investigation analyze a discrepancy between what Able Danger officers and Pentagon lawyers said about turning Atta info over to the FBI without a transcript of those interviews?
From the beginning, Commission staff dismissed any information that didn't fit the final report and made sure there was no recorded evidence they were told anything that didn't fit the final report.
The only way this controversy gets resolved is if the Able Danger analysts come out and show the evidence they had concerning Atta and his cell and the minutes of meetings with the Pentagon/Clinton lawyers and the 9/11 Commission staff.
I'd say it's time.
But you never know these days if they have to fear for their life or whatever.
