Able Danger disclosure raises serious questions
The South Alabamian ^ | August 25, 2005 | Gary Palmer

Even so, Czech intelligence informed the U.S. about this meeting shortly after the 9 – 11 attacks. In addition, other intelligence documents indicate that two of the four terrorists that piloted the hijacked airliners were in Germany from late 2000 to early 2001. It was during that time that German authorities arrested two Iraqi agents on charges of spying. One of the hijacker pilots, Ziad Jarrah, left Germany the same week that the Germans arrested the Iraqi agents. Reporting on the arrests, the Paris-based Islamic newspaper al-Watan al-Arabi linked Iraq to radical Islamic groups and Osama bin Laden. The paper reported that the Iraqi agents were part of an Iraqi operation to form a network of terrorist alliances to strike US interests. This information is also not in the Commission’s report.

Obviously, had the 9 – 11 Commission concluded that the Able Danger information linking the hijackers with Iraq was accurate, the war in Iraq would have been completely vindicated. If the Able Danger information proves to be accurate, the fact that it is not even mentioned will seriously undermine the 9 – 11 Commission report and could discredit the Commission. It will then be very evident to the American public that the 9 – 11 Commission was compromised from the beginning by politics.

Iraq and 9/11 connected.

The thing that liberals fear the most.

Disgusting. The corrupt hand of the Bent One has left its mark.

The 9-11 Commission was stacked with freaking idiots. Anybody who saw these jerks on television understood that they were trying to bring down Bush. Both Gorelick and Ben Vineste ought to be hung in effigy on the steps of the Capitol. I take that comment back. Only Ben Vineste ought to be hung is effigy. Gorelick simply ought'a be hung.

Yes. I knew all along the 9/11 Commission is a joke. You could tell by how they found that there was nothing anybody ever did that was lacking or wrong. Except the integrating of Intelligence, of course. Which Pres. Bush was supposed to fix in 7 months in office.

"Specifically, there is speculation that Able Danger links the 9 – 11 hijackers and Osama bin Laden to Iraq. Apparently, Able Danger supports information from the Czech Republic’s intelligence service that Atta meet with the Iraqi ambassador at the Prague airport on April 9, 2001."

GREAT column, except for this:

If the Able Danger information proves to be accurate, the fact that it is not even mentioned will seriously undermine the 9 – 11 Commission report and could discredit the Commission.

The Commission was long ago dismissed as a pathetic laughingstock with no credibility. Heck, everybody was chuckling from the beginning that the whole "Commission" thing was nothing but a pandering political kangaroo court, and it only went downhill from there. Har!! The Commission is awfully tough to "undermine".

Yep. Same reason the Clinton's directed Gorelick to erect "the wall" in the first place.

if this goes well we probably will. in the mean time we will have settle for the reality tv version. the repubs who matter are helping weldon on the down low. there is no way he could have arrived at this place without them. most center right folks are afraid that if this fails they will look like they took the kook bait. they are so lame that they think this is a left /right issue. forget them they will jump on the train soon enough. is it me or is there now a blog wide dump on stories that somehow dove tail able ? lotta whistle blowin goin on ! there is so much out there and on the way that the old boy's club will explode. think of these dopes who ask the question . "when will the rino senators come out against the war. what war ? war on terror ? war in iraq ? the first one may be unending . the second one is almost over, at least for us. these folks are way behind. lets push on without them and let able/danger come out. they did not do their jobs. so it's obvious that sites like this are doing theirs. i will croak saying it all came together at rather , swifties , the elections. the blogs did it on their own. what does that tell us? glad i was around to see it.

Saddam and Sons are disarmed and out of power, no vindication needed.

What the left and their media need is to keep up the myth they created for the election, that Saddam and Sons were some innocent bystanders, minding their own business, when Bush and Blair woke up one morning and said, "let's lie for a year, then go to war to prove we were lying".

I think this is the whole reason behind the Cindy Sheehan band wagon and why the mainstream media has worked so hard to build her up.

Maybe I'm wearing a tin foil hat, I don't know, but I think the dems, moveon.org and their good buddies in the media got together to try to cover some butts.

That meeting the dems had here in Columbus Ohio, I think back in June? Where they were supposedly trying to figure out what they stand for? I think it was a "How the H E double L do we cover our butts meeting. And I think this Cindy band wagon is what they came up with to take attention off of them and able danger.

Ok, I'll take my tin foil hat off now.

There are a lot of us that already know that.

The rats will wwlcome the chance to talk about illegals next month rather than talk about Able Danger. Weldon won't let that happen. Go Curt!
