Weldon's spokesman is absolutely right. I hope they have a copy of that chart with Atta's name on it, because I'd like to see Gordon, Gorelick, ben Veniste, Kean and others choke on the darn thing.

Sept. 11 commission rejects Atta claim

Rejects as in provides evidence disproving the claim?

Or sticks fingers in ears and say loudly "I'm not listening! I'm not listening!"

[Savage Rider]

I reject the Sept. 11 commission.

[Inwoodian]

We need a commission to investigate the Commission. Seriously, why wouldn't the Commission at least meet with the Able Danger people to hear what they have to say? Does the answer lie in the sweaty wasteband of Sandy Berger's briefs?

[aShepard]

...."to the failure to improve communication systems, which they said might have saved lives after Hurricane Katrina."....

Oh, so that's what they mean by Numbnuts Nagin holed up in a hotel with his police chief Compass, for two days with knocked out cell phone service and old satellite phones with dead batteries. No command and control for two days.

Those kind of communications! He must have forgotten to open his Christmas stocking with the new batteries that Santa brought him.

[Brilliant]

The Commission screwed up big time. It's as simple as that.

[wolfcreek]

There's been commission after commission as long as I can remember and all there for is ass covering.

[thegreatbeast]

What the hell are these guys still doing as an organized entity? Why won't the 9/11 Commission die? Who the fudge is paying for its torturous afterlife? Are we still on the hook as taxpayers? Is this another diabolical creation of George Soros?

I am p*-o* that so much money was spent on the first go-round. Their work was no less bipartisan than anything churned out by the Congress Critters. No mas!

YOU SAID..."Weldon's spokesman is absolutely right. I hope they have a copy of that chart with Atta's name on it, because I'd like to see Gordon, Gorelick, ben Veniste, Kean and others choke on the darn thing."

PAGING STEPHEN HADLEY....

Please report to the press room, and bring your copy of the CHART... the one Weldon gave you two weeks after 9-11.

Thank you

The ex-commissioners also criticized the government for not putting in place changes recommended last year in homeland security and emergency response. They pointed most notably to the failure to improve communication systems, which they said might have saved lives after Hurricane Katrina.

They have some nerve pointing fingers. Trying to divert attention from their failures, I would say.

At the 9/11-commission-sans-Jamie-Gorelick press conference on 9-14-05,
FoxNews asked the 9/11 commissioners about Able Danger.

Basically, the lot of them said it didn't happen because they had no documentary proof, no chart...
and because it conflicts with their other premises and conclusions. (Great logic, eh?)

The follow-up from FoxNews (at which point they all proceeded to go into their extreme-buffoon mode):
'But since we know that the Able-Danger documentation was destroyed,
how can you base your conclusion on the absence of documentation???'(paraphrase)

Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history.

WHY DID BILL CLINTON IGNORE TERRORISM?
Was it simply the constraints of his liberal mindset, or was it something even more threatening to our national security?

DISCUSSION

"I remember exactly what happened. Bruce Lindsey said to me on the phone, 'My God, a second plane has hit the tower.' And I said, 'Bin Laden did this.' that's the first thing I said. He said, 'How can you be sure?' I said 'Because only bin Laden and the Iranians could set up the network to do this and they [the Iranians] wouldn't do it because they have a country in targets. Bin Laden did it.'

I thought that my virtual obsession with him was well placed and I was full of regret that I didn't get him."

"Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in '91 and he went to the Sudan.

We'd been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him [bin Laden].

At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.

So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato. They didn't and that's how he wound up in Afghanistan."
