The report of the September 11 Commission, once a best seller and hailed by the news media as the definitive word on the subject, must now be moved to the fiction shelves.
The commission concluded...the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon couldn't have been prevented.
Able Danger has changed all of that.
The problem was...Jamie Gorelick.
What may be a bigger scandal is that the staff of the September 11 Commission knew of Able Danger and what it had found, but made no mention of it in its report. This is as if the commission that investigated the attack on Pearl Harbor had written its final report without mentioning the Japanese.
When the story broke Lee Hamilton denied the commission had ever been informed of Able Danger...
"Had we learned of it, obviously it would have been a major focus of our investigation."
Mr. Hamilton later changed his tune...
Sandy Berger stole classified documents and destroyed some...Was he removing references to Able Danger? Someone should ask him before he is sentenced next month.
The dispute over Atta's whereabouts in Prague on April 9, 2001, to meet with Samir al Ani, an Iraqi intelligence officer.
Czech intelligence insists he was. Able Danger had information supporting the Czechs.
But acknowledging that possibility would leave open the likelihood that Saddam's regime was involved in the September 11 attacks. And that would have been as uncomfortable for Democrats as the revelation that September 11 could have been prevented if it hadn't been for the Clinton administration's wall of separation.
The September 11 Commission wrote history as it wanted it to be, not as it was. The real history of what happened that terrible September day has yet to be written.

It would be the same as a JFK Assassination Commission holding hearings after the Warren Report was issued. With Gerald Ford, Arlen Spectre, and Lee Harvey Oswald sitting on the frickin' Commission. They really do take us for fools.
Still have yours in the john?
CLINTON KNEW
BOTH OF THEM
He's a demorat. End of story.
Thank you for the support
check his website!
"Why does GWB continue to cover for the malfeasance of the Clinton administration?"
This is such an ignorant statement .. I hardly know where to begin .. so I won't!
If it is so ignorant, then why can it not be properly discussed? If the public, through the MSM, can demand hearings into September 11th resulting in the 9-11 Commission report, then how come, with the new evidence we are learning about the missed opportunities of the Clinton Administration can we not demand an investigation into this aspect of the story?
Fact is, terrorism existed before President Bush took office. Former President Clinton and his staff (the Burgler, Jaimie Gorelick, Janet Reno, et al.) knew about, but set up apparatus to avoid dealing with it. Why can we not expose this? Do you have an issue with the people's right to know?
By the way, why post a comment such as you did without addressing the issue? If you are too tired to deal with it, why post in the first place?
Just trying to help you budget your time.
Yeh, but Hamilton's the old reassuring, grandfatherly type that the government pulls out of moth balls when some real big deal lying needs done! (John Danforth- The Waco Report)
It's both parties. Mostly the Dems, but remember, Bush stood there and went on and on about what a grrreat guy Tenet was, while I and multitudes of Americans screamed uselessly at our radios and TVs.
That's a microcosm of his whole approach to make nice with those communist bastards. It was naive at best.
Well .. if rude and arrogant is your method of communicating .. you're on the wrong website. To come on this website and after reading all the information available to you here and you can still ask such an ignorant question .. then you're not a conservative and I have no idea why you're here except to launch your bombs at Bush.
Your question had no substance! Before Bush could cover up any "malfeasance by Clinton" - he would first have to know about it - and as Gov of Texas - I doubt he knew any more than we did. And .. after becoming President, why would Bush want to keep Clinton's face on the TV by brining up all that garbage .. Bush wanted to start with HIS own agenda, not continue with the Clinton stuff.
Bush did not become President so he could act like the Police Commissioner and go after Clinton. To assume that is the primary goal for Bush is just ignorant!!
I'm not so sure. How can we be sure?
"Thank you for the support"
Likewise.
BTTT
mega-bump!!!
Excellent column & Post!
Bravo!!
Heads up!!
"He's a demorat. End of story."
You mispelled a word. It's "demonrat"
