Able Danger was disbanded before Bush took Office. People died.

I'm going from pure memory but I thought Shaffer said that Able Danger broke up four months before 9/11. He wanted to know why it was disbanded.

Can anyone look up to see when Rummy and the other DoD undersecretaries were confirmed..IIRC.the Dems delayed them several months...and the careerists..i.e. Clintonoids were running the shops for the interregnum..

You may be right. I'll look into timing of it because it is important mo matter which way you look at it.

Even if it did break up 4 months before 9-11, the FBI/CIA walls were still in place- and the Bush Admin had very little chance of knowing what and the heck was going on with that specific group. The only people who could make the link between Able Danger and informing the new Bush Admin would be Richard Clarke, who was miffed that he was passed over for NSA, and George Tenet.
