IT STILL SEEMS all so close.
Here, on Route 23, bathed in the August morning sun and only a short drive from Route 80 and the Willowbrook Mall, a roadside motel bears silent witness to a police bust that might have been. For a year before the 9/11 attacks, the Wayne Inn was home to Mohammed Atta, the al-Qaida mastermind behind the hijacking plot that killed almost 3,000 people.

Thanks for bringing us this chilling tale.
Where is the next Atta? Is he your neighbor? My neighbor??
Keep your eyes and ears open and report to whatever authority will do something about it.
Stay armed and stay vigilant.
Down with the incompetents!!
From the article:
Federal officials confirmed last week that a year before the attacks, a top-secret military intelligence team was following Atta and three suspected terrorists who turned out to be hijackers. The intelligence operatives tried to sound an alarm but were rebuffed by government lawyers who feared possible legal complications of using military spying techniques to keep tabs on foreign visitors in the United States with legal visas even though they might be terrorists.
A former member of the military intelligence team told me in an interview that it had enough data to raise suspicions. "But we were blocked from passing it to the FBI."
The connect-the-dots tracking by the team was so good that it even knew Atta conducted meetings with the three future hijackers. One of those meetings took place at the Wayne Inn. That's how close all this was - to us and to being solved, if only the information had been passed up the line to FBI agents or even to local cops.
This new piece of 9/11 history, revealed only last week by a Pennsylvania congressman and confirmed by two former members of the intelligence team, could turn out to be one of the most explosive revelations since the publication last summer of the 9/11 commission report.
The information not only undermines key commission findings that Atta and others were undetected, but it again raises a question that continues to haunt the 9/11 tragedy:
Why is our government so incompetent?
bttt
Breath taking....
After all, the Gorelick Wall was erected by the Clinton Justice Department on purpose. It wasn'ty an accident. And it wasn't an accident that the investigative power of the Executive was illegally seized by the Clintons.
There were (shall we say) a lot of troubling questions involving illegal campaign contributions, as well as troubling questions concerning the infilitration of Chinese spies at our nuclear laboratories. The Wall was erected in response to those "questions," as well as others.
No. It wasn't a mistake. It's wasn't a snafu. It was purposeful and malicious, and it lead to 9/11.
WHERE IS DRUDGE?
I read this article twice, but nowhere did I read Jamie Gorelick's name.

Exactly -- now who and how far will they go to EXPOSE THIS DELIBERATE CRIMINAL COVER-UP that cost us 3000 lives on 9/11 -- and how far will some forces in Washington (lib-driven of course) go to COVER IT UP and make it look like some tiny oversight by some low-level office worker????
Washington's credibility is on the line. BIG TIME!

"Why is our government so incompetent?"
It's no accident.
The stuff that Weldon has thrown out there should have created a sh_t-storm of activity from conservative & Republican icons... it hasn't.
It'll take a bloodbath for this nation to wake-up... and the guilty to be led to the gallows.
You're incompetant if you believe this is the result of incompetance!
Hitlery, incompetant? Sacre Bleu! Impossible!
Also not at all likely!
TREASON!

The fact that the MSM could continue on in this cover-up for Clinton's incompetence, just reinforces the idea that this country is flucked.
You are spot-on with the 'flucked' part!
Drudge wants no part of this. He might have to actually do some investigative work. He relies on bathhouse gossip for his stories. As I've said before, the Monica story was pure luck.
The little faith I had in our government is just about dead.
