CIA rejects charge it failed to share bomb suspect intelligence
Breitbart ^ | 12/30/09 | staff

Posted on 12/30/2009 9:39:01 AM PST by pissant

The CIA on Wednesday rejected accusations that it failed to share vital information with other US intelligence agencies that might have helped prevent last week's attempted plane bomb attack.

The intelligence agency rejected charges that it possessed, but failed to disseminate, information about Nigerian suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab that might have led to his being placed on a no-fly list.

"We learned of Abdulmutallab in November, when his father came to the US embassy in Nigeria and sought help in finding him. We did not have his name before then," said CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano.

"Also in November, we worked with the embassy to ensure he was in the government's terrorist database -- including mention of his possible extremist connections in Yemen," the CIA spokesman said.

"We also forwarded key biographical information about him to the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)" Gimigliano said, referring to the government office tasked with compiling and integrating intelligence from various US agencies.

"This agency, like others in our government, is reviewing all data to which it had access -- not just what we ourselves may have collected -- to determine if more could have been done to stop Abdulmutallab," Gimigliano said.

He might have actually known, but couldn’t or wouldn’t stop it. Perhaps this is why he hid in a cave for 3 days.

Frankly, as crazy as some things might sound, I wouldn’t put anything past this traitor.

Has the Gorelick Wall been reimposed? Seems likely with some of the articles being written.

No. It is the Obama no profiling of muslims Wall. They right people got the info but they just sat on their hands because they are not supposed to be singling out muslims.

>>There is sure enough blame to go around. How about solving the problem instead?>>

Israel has already solved the problem for us, if we would pay attention.

We need to adapt El Al’s security measures which were bandied about after 9-11 and promptly forgotten. They include such things as:

Profiling by religion and country of origin,
Looking at recent travel history,
Checking passport and name against multiple data bases,
Multiple screenings of luggage,
Luggage not left unattended once screened,
Intense inspection of passports and boarding passes,
Sky marshals on every plane,
Double doors on all cockpits,
Pilots are allowed to armed in cockpits, and
Interviews by security officers prior to boarding.

Even at overseas airports El Al conducts security checks, even if they are supervised by government or private security firms.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2097352.stm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Al

What I like about El Al’s approach is that they catch not only those on the terror watch lists, also those who have recently traveled to Muslim countries for ‘training’, converts who don’t fit the traditional Jihadist profile, e.g. blond blue-eyed man name Patrick O’Reilly, and those who are duped into carrying ‘gifts’ in their luggage.

Everyone is treated the same.

You don’t have to get partially undressed, undergo intrusive, embarrassing procedures, or adhere to insane regulations that change minute to minute in order to fly.

Also, IIRC anyone who not allowed to fly EL AL is very courteously assisted in getting a flight on another airline.

Somebody in the White House was trying to set the CIA up to take the blame.

America’s security is threatened by terrorists and this administration sits idly by, refusing to so much as acknowledge the reality, never mind doing what El Al has in place. We’re riding on a ship of fools.

I am listening now. Basically the attempt is to make us stop in our tracks. That Bin laden Hussein did not want that plane at the bottom of the ocean.

Hussein Bama made a deal and Iraq is just going through the motions until bamazilla brings the troops home in 2011. Just before his reelection.

You said before Obama’s election? During his campaign last year? The time he went and asked Iraq officials to stall troops leaving or ending the war until he got into office? Then Iraq spilled the beans to Bush’s admin? Obama should have been brought up on treason charges right there on the spot when he got home. The freakin’ nerve.

So do you think all of that story was made up to throw us off? Or are you talking about another time before last year obama hussein.a.h.i.c went to Iraq?

I love Rev Manning. I just would like to know why he against interacial marriages.

Interesting that both Robert (the Slime) Gibbs and DHS Janet BOTH mouthed the same fatuous line ...."The System Worked."

Everything that goes out of obamazilla's admin has talking points that taxpayers pay Axelrod's former firm to come up with. The words that America will accept like good little robots. You will hear the same line from each one of them over and over.Rahm faxes or alerts media as to the talking points daily and they repeat them over and over. I hear them in here from trolls. How many times have you heard Inherit or inherited?

But as the sanctimonious Axelrod lectures on AKPD’s website:

They were given talking point from the WH....A WH staff member would/should not have released the talking points without OK from BO.....The buck stops..........with the WH. Rahme E? Axelrod? or Jarrett? OR (drum roll please) BO himself.

WSJ:The father of terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab met with the Central Intelligence Agency at the U.S. embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, and told of his son’s likely radicalization, according to the CIA. The initial meeting Nov. 19 led to a broader gathering of multiple U.S. agencies the next day, including representatives of the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the State Department and the CIA, in which the information was shared, a U.S. official said.

JaNUT, Hillary, Penatta, all report to whom?

You hear the same line over and over. Rahm faxes or alerts media as to the daily talking points, and the MSM repeat them over and over.

Rahm and Axelrod hatched the fraudulent Obama candidacy. They were as shocked as anyone that the empty suit actually won. Obama is a clueless puppet surrounded by Chicago thugs. Rahm is a major user...using the WH as a steppingstone to more power and money. Rahm, David, Valerie and the rest will move on to lucrative pastures.

WHO IS OBAMA? He's a prop for the leftist establishment. They now have complete access to the US treasury, the banks, the auto companies....... and, soon, the health care system. Rahm's got his brother Dr Zeke in charge. Both will become billionaires after Obama and Congressional facilitators get a cut.
