I'm throwing in this info in the pot because of the time frame and because I believe that not only did Clinton know about Able Danger, he conveyed the info to certain persons at the FBI and CIA.....to make sure that if it did come in...it was kept under wraps.
Article dated July 18, 2001.
It is entitled "U.S. Justice Department: Missing FBI Computers"......english.people.com
Excerpt 1: "The FBI has been under fire for a series of missteps going back years, including failure to provide thousands of documents to Timothy McVeigh's lawyers, the Branch Davidian and Ruby Ridge standoffs and the botched investigation of former nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee."
John Ashcroft ordered the Inspector General to do an inventory of weapons and computers. That search began on or about June 21, 2001.
Excerpt 2: "13 computers are thought to have been stolen". One is KNOWN to have classified material. Three others might have classified material."
"The One lost computer that contained classified information was used by a field office in connection with two investigations that were closed within the last few years".
"FBI officials don't believe that any investigation has been compomised as a result of the missing computers, .....but they said they can't rule that out.
5:43 am ATTA and AL-OMARI checked in at US AIRWAYS counter.
5:45 am ATTA and AL-OMARI passed through airport security.
6:00 am ATTA and AL-OMARI departed on Colgan Air en route to Boston, Massachusetts.

Consider how close these guys were to missing their flight. If they had missed their flight,the entire history of 9/11 would be different.
5:45 am ATTA and AL-OMARI passed through airport security.
Any ideas as to why the time stamp on the security camera says 5:53 am?
In reply #75, you posted a picture of a shirt released by the FBI.
According to the manager of the Comfort Inn that was assisting the FBI, the FBI told her they found that shirt in the dumpster at the Comfort Inn. She also stated that she handed over to the FBI the security camera footage that recorded Atta and Alomari checking in at the Comfort Inn.
Taking the time to locate a dumpster in the parking lot to hide a shirt seems a little peculiar for a man on a suicide mission, considering he is running late for his flight.
Rleasing a photo of the shirt he reportedly stashed in a dumpster at the Comfort Inn but not releasing the video of Atta checking in seems a little strange.
