Uh, no, it's not news. Shaffer has never said that HE ID'd Atta to the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission.
Weldon has said that Able Danger operatives ID'd Atta for the 9/11 Commission and those people have yet to come forward.
Shaffer said that he met with Pentagon/DOD brass on Monday and they are trying to find a way for the others to come forward; some are covert.
I guess I should have been more specific, the Post does not quote Shaffer just says he said....
I have not heard Shaffer say these exact words.
On Hannity's show yesterday he said, in so many words, that he wasn't the one who fingered Atta, he was in an adminstration position, trying to get the right departments to use the data, to pass it along. My impression was the guys were (for lack of a better word) sure about Atta's cell they kept telling him and he kept pushing the issue.
