An aide to former Clinton Justice Department official Jamie Gorelick blocked the 9/11 Commission from hearing bombshell testimony about the findings of the elite Able Danger military intelligence team, Rep. Curt Weldon said late Friday.
"The person who debriefed [Able Danger analyst] Scott Philpot was, in fact, the lead staffer for Jamie Gorelick," Weldon told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "His name was Dieter Snell."
Weldon contended: "It was Dieter Snell who did not brief the 9/11 Commission. The 9/11 Commissioners were never briefed on Able Danger."
Gorelick was the lead Democrat on the 9/11 Commission.
Weldon said Able Danger team members have been "gagged" by the Pentagon and by Defense Intelligence Agency leaders who stand to be embarrassed by their revelations.
"The Defense Intelligence Agency has people who were held over from the previous administration," he told Fox News. "They were there when [Able Danger] brought forward this information."
The Pennsylvania Republican said that besides identifying Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as terrorist threats, Able Danger had warned of the impending attack on the U.S.S. Cole.
"Two weeks before the attack on the U.S.S. Cole," he told "Hannity & Colmes, "they sensed that something was about to happen in Yemen. Two days before the attack on the Cole - and the arrival of the Cole in harbor - they warned that the ship should not enter the harbor."
"This information needs to be brought to the public," Weldon said. "We lost 3,000 people here. This cannot be covered up. This is 3,000 times worse than Watergate."

SHEA STADIUM JUNKYARDS INDICTED FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES
under the direction of Public Advocacy Chief Dieter Snell
bump and thanks...
Yep yep yep yep!
No No No No!
bump
I wonder if the same "deeply concerned democrats" that are in such a tizzy over Plame,must be dropping to the floor with strokes and heartattacks over this one...I mean the Plame story is a fart in a tornado compared to this story.
GorelickGate Bump.
These folks have to be questioned under oath. Where is the DOJ and the US attorneys?
Okay. So we know something is going on. What can be done about it? I don't hear Bush saying or doing anything about it but having meetings with muslims in the whitehouse and making a "Beheading for Dummies" manual(koran) a part of the whitehouse library. I don't see Rumsfeld doing anything except complaining about how China is surprisingly growing their military on his watch but he doesn't know why. I don't see the libs doing anything except sinking further in the cesspool they have created in government dependancy. So what? Brothers and sisters, the beat goes on and we've go to be ready.
The Washington political class is making a big mistake here with Able Danger. They are going to completely lose credibility with half the American people if they whitewash Able Danger. If they continue on this path, half the public isn't going to believe anything the federal government says.
Attention Mr. Fitzgerald..... Jamie Gore lick needs some attention. Karl Rove, over and out.
He looks lonely out there. . .
So where are the rest of the Repubs, including President Bush? Where, where. . .where. . .
closer to the truth may be a simple. . .'why ask where'. . .
ITMT. . .more than depressing.
No doubt in my mind that this is the case and that these documents have been identified - they surely know what the Burglar stuffed. . .
Weldon said he questioned Rumsfeld over 2 weeks ago about Able Danger and is still waiting for a reply. I get the feeling that both sides are doing a big CYA on this. Freepers have know for years about China's military buildup and written members in congress about their concerns, but Rumsfeld just figured out this is a problem? Encouraging...
The Pentagon doesn't want all those 9/11 commission books to be considered fiction.
BTTT
I'll say it again, but where in the hell is Rush and Hannity on Able Danger? Sure they've done some 5 minute bits on it, but this thing is devastating. Why the silence? Even that psycho-hippy Savage has devoted more time to this...
More to the point; it may explain why there is a tornado. . .
I hope somehow. . .Weldon wins on this one. . .but so far, save for Fox News. . .the 'tornado' remains elsewhere; and Weldon seems to be spitting in the wind.
The whole scenario is depressing.
bttt
"Not a shred of evidence'. . .the Clinton, Inc./Demrat litany. . .
