WASHINGTON -- A Pentagon employee was ordered to destroy documents that identified Mohamed Atta as a terrorist two years before the 2001 attacks, a congressman said Thursday.

The employee is prepared to testify next week before the Senate Judiciary Committee and was expected to name the person who ordered him to destroy the large volume of documents, said Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa.

So far, this just looks like The Pentagon took the initiative to destroy them.

Which is run by political appointees. Civilian control of the military isn't everything it cracked up to be, when the likes of the Clintonistas are in power.

Uncross those fingers, it's a waste of time.

Everything will hinge on when the order to destroy Able Danger documents, was given, and carried out. If it happened before 9-11 this is no big deal, and this article didn't give a clue about the date.

Damage Control by the Democrats. The Democrat Party is more important than doing what is right for the country.

ITOH Sandy may have done some serious plea bargaining and has been leaking some information that Hill/Billy may not want to become public knowledge.

The Democrats were appointed by Daschle. That was the deal made.

I thought his big "announcement" was scheduled for Sept. 9th. What's the hold up? Either poop or get off the pot.

Yeah even if Katrina delayed it a couple of days, Weldon said he was going to name the source in a news conference. Today would have been fine.

BREAKING!!! - Weldon says records were ordered destroyed!! (Able Danger

Congressman Curt Weldon (R - Pennsylvania) gave another exclusive interview to Dom Giordano this evening (Monday) and broke the news that he will be giving a speech on September 8th (next Monday) during which he will present yet another 'Able Danger' witness. This new witness will attest (and will swear under oath when called) that he was "ordered to destroy records" relating to the 'Able Danger' program.

This order to destroy the records occurred prior to 9-11-01. Weldon intimated that it happened during the Clinton Administration.

The witness, who Weldon did not name, says that he was ordered to destroy records and was threatened with jail if he failed to comply. Weldon said that he has the names of the people involved, including the person who gave the order, and HE WILL NAME THEM in his speech.

I'm not sure that Able Danger in the end won't hurt Republicans as well. If this as big as it feels, it will at the least force desperate dems to release some of the black mail ammo they have been holding back over the years.

Time will tell as I seem to recall something about 'cooperation' by Burgler. But yes, I have also learned not to get my hopes up...

what this country needs is an all-out war between the Bushes and the Clintons so that we can get all of these secrets out of the closet in order to move forward in a positive direction.
