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.

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
Whether we like it or not .. Clinton is a former President. It would be unseemly for the current President to diss him. We can diss Clinton all we want, because we don't have to stand on a world stage.
Besides .. with the way the media always protects Clinton .. what purpose would it serve Bush to act all rude to Clinton. I mean .. the media already hates Bush .. why make it worse.
Don't worry .. Clinton will be exposed for what he really is. Everybody though Carter was wonderful .. but now they know the reality of what a petty little person he is.
As for my being "rude" to you - I said your statement was ignorant .. not you. Maybe you missed that ..??
"But, the public needs to see what the MSM is failing to show them."
That's not the President's job .. that's the job of FR .. and I might add .. we do a damn good job of it.
This is a great article by Kelly and I have to agree with him. The true history of 9/11 has not yet been written. And may never be written.
Good Report.
One thing Weldon said today on Hannity was that his intention was not to bring it out into the public right now, but that the NYT had done that. He has been working on this for some time and there are probably still things going on behind the scenes that don't need interference from the media spin machine. I hope that is a reason for the lack of involvement by ones we might think should be more interested in it. The silence is deafening.
No one can investigate the whole 9/11 story, but the media could investigate small parts of it, if they were really willing to do so. They're not.
That's true. Berger is a Washington poohbah, and therefore not subject to the same rules as the average thief. If he has a wimpy judge presiding over his case, forget about the truth ever coming out.
Sounds reasonable but then he maybe just should have waited till all the clinkers were removed.
Still waiting on the White House to respond to this. Or comment. Or ANYTHING! I guess .I should know better than to expect this Admin to play rough where the Clintons are involved.

The people who were monitoring Berger were aware he was taking documents. They continued to watch his activities closely, and then blew the whistle on him.
Good articlee, he's asking the exact same questions that I have. There is urgency as Mr. Berger is due to be sentenced next month. If he gets off without asking specifically what he may have known about this operation, it will be yet another trqavesty of Justice laid on the American people. Curt Weldon needs to produce the Able Danger guys expand on what has been said already. I hope he is able to do that before the end of the week.
It would appear, that at the very least, we the citizens have a lawsuit here somewhere, against this so -called commission. Can any body say "BillyJeff #sscovering commission"?????!!!
They really do take us for fools.
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.
I saw him on TV saying he has 15 boxes of evidence on Able Danger. He needs to start reading them out loud during Special Orders on C-Span. Any need for confidentiality has long become moot after 9/11, and he owes it to the country to expose this rotten excuse for an investigation. The Repubicans on the Commission need to be embarrassed in public for going along with this ruse.
