Friday, Aug. 12, 2005 11:14 a.m. EDT Clinton Lawyers: Mohamed Atta Off-Limits

A year before the 9/11 attacks, Clinton administration lawyers told a group of military intelligence officers that information they had developed on 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta could not be shared with the FBI, saying of Atta himself: "You can't even touch him - it doesn't matter what information you have."

Rep. Curt Weldon, who helped develop the military intelligence group code-named "Able Danger," delivered the bombshell revelation in an interview Thursday with WABC Radio host Sean Hannity.

WELDON: In September of 2000 we tried on three occasions to take the information we had developed and pass it along to the FBI so they could follow up and take action against this [al-Qaida] cell and perhaps bring in Atta and question him and do whatever else was necessary. Three times we were turned down by lawyers in the administration.

HANNITY: We're talking about lawyers in the Clinton administration?

WELDON: Yes, it was the Clinton administration. Lawyers said there were two reasons why you can't do that. And they even put stickies over the face of Mohamed Atta on this chart they had. They said: "He's here legally. He's either got a green card or he's got a visa. So you can't even touch him - it doesn't matter what information you have." [END OF EXCERPT]

Moments later, Weldon said he was determined to find out who it was who ultimately gave the order to protect the lead 9/11 hijacker.

WELDON: The American people need to have answers. They need to have answers about who made the decision to stop our military intelligence from sharing information with the FBI, and how high up the ladder that went.

Did it stop at DoD? Or was the Justice Department involved in that decision? Or was the White House involved in that decision? [END OF EXCERPT]

Has anyone thought of the possible implications, more exactly, the extreme seriousness with "The Wall" memo and how it relates to our nuke info getting stolen? Not to mention China Gate and offshore political donations to the Dems in '96 and 2000?

We have always wondered what Sandy Burgler stuffed down his pants. I think it is pretty clear now what he was hiding and destroying.

"I wanna know why the 9/11 commission did not interview GORELICK??? Why?"

Because they were continually on the defensive and didn't realize they've been had. It was not an investigating committee. It was a strike force against the administration and the pubbies didn't have the smarts to realize it or the balls to go on the offensive.

3) It was Jamie Goerelickmyass who put up that wall.

Libs, in a race to defend Gorelick and her place on the commission are saying the wall was not the Gorelick Wall, but the Reno Wall. Reno is going to be an attempted scapegoat. And when questioned about it, you can bet her answer will be "I can not comment on an ongoing investigation".

How about info directly related to TWA fight 800? Kerry even slipped on this one during his campaign and called it "the bombing of flight 800". I personally know 3 people on the south shore of Long Island that day that saw the missile track and they didn't talk to the FBI. One person was 10 mi out on a boat and said the 'streaker' came up off the water, then the explosion.

He and his wife decided not to speak up as to see how it all played out. He's ex-SF and knows what he's talking about.

Well, hopefully this will be re-ignited for the truth to come out. Gorelick has to be smelling the gathering stench of her actions being revealed.

I wanna know the truth!!!

Early reports tried to blame it on DOD attorneys, JAG types.

These decisions had catastrophic consequences, as we all know.

"I wanna know the truth!!!'

And how about the victims of 9/11's family!

Incredible how much the Clinton administration has damaged America. And to think his witch wants to run for president! Damn, they both should be in jail.

More Klintoon (that includes the Hildabeest) incompetence. I will truly despair of this country if the voters let that witch back into the White House. She should not even be in the Senate.

Too right. She should be in jail.

Clinton could never sense a national security threat. That part of his brain is missing.

I guess the only way he has survived is via underhanded political retaliation and using the 'Vast Left Wing Coverup Machine'.

Okay Freepers: Is there any connection between the Gorelick "wall" edict and the Senator Thompson (R-Tenn) hearings regarding Chinese campaign donations? Was the "wall" also used to block the investigations into the Chi-Com military campaign donations to Clinton-Gore? Remember: Thompson was completely flummoxed and derailed after promising that there was a connection.

OMG!

Many have said that Clinton should be tried for treason.

Is he immune from that?

If that's true, why hadn't some group "claimed responsibility" for it? Usually 2 or 3 groups come forward.

Well, I found that July 18th 1996 Video on C-Span and ordered it just moments ago, 6 minute news conference with questions for $60.00. I'm a business owner so it doesn't matter what the cost. I'll post that online somewhere when I receive it in a few weeks, as I missed that one, and I'll bet a whole slew of people missed it too. I can't wait to see it and post it for all to see. He knew everything and all the time too!

Link Here for proof of video's existence(Where's that Tiny URL when I need it? LOL)

Yes, and there is a distinct possibility that she will run for the Presidency of the US.

So our intelligence gathering system was working after all.
911 can laid directly at the feet of the Clinton administration.
They have blood on their hands. B*stards.

Al Qaeda would have most likely taken claim if they were responsible, however, threats were made prior to the downing of flight 800 that US airlines would be attacked. Also, it ain't over yet w/ concerns of dereliction of duty.

http://raylahr.entryhost.com/Air_Force.pdf Also, please review the history of the investigation, particularly in "Summary".

http://raylahr.entryhost.com/2005Update.htm

Also, please note this quote as to the sheer number of witnesses:

"We have access to 107 witnesses on 4 aircraft, 19 boats, and 31 locations ashore. They were located in a 360° circle around the missile engagement. Their live testimony alone will prove the aircraft was shot down. This is why the Justice Department has kept air crash investigators away from witnesses for 2 1/2 years and also one reason they are conducting a malicious show-trial prosecution of author and outside investigator James Sanders and his wife."

Because Cmdr. Donaldson was brought into the Sanders case as a defense consultant, he was first able to see detailed photographs, taken by Mr. Sanders of the Center Tank left side of body wall fracture pieces, in late March. These pictures were taken by Mr. Sanders at the request of Cmdr Donaldson during the discovery trial phase as allowed by a Federal judge. The pictures strongly suggest the left side of body wall of the center tank was blown into the tank at extremely high energy, not outward as the NTSB theory implies. When Cmdr. Donaldson called the NTSB and left voice-mail requesting to see the NTSB "Fracture Edge Analysis" of CWT left side of body wall parts, an NTSB attorney called back in minutes in a somewhat anxious state. The lawyer suggested such testing need not be done. Incredulous, Cmdr Donaldson informed him that any NTSB Final Report blaming a center wing tank failure without determining which way that wall exploded would be a farce."The photos, which were once on the net from the reassembled liner, which I saw, plus one set of radar images from tapes (I also saw), are now sealed by court order.

http://twa800.com/pages/missilesearch.htm

Regardless what anyone says, Fight 800 was shot down by a missile and the government covered / is covering it up. Which group or persons are responsible? I don't know. You can simply connect the dots. To this day a shoulder fired S2A is a threat to all aircraft upon approach or takeoff. With physically unsecured borders, it's just a matter of time before another "center fuel tank decides to blow itself up."
