"Can some insightful Freeper please hypothesize about what was really going on here?"
Gorelick and Clinton built a wall between domestic and foreign intelligence. There was always such a divide created by law---to protect US citizens from the "bad boys" in the CIA, etc. However, Gorelick went way beyond the law to build the wall to extreme heights, crippling our security. The probable motive of the organized hard left people who control Bill and Hillary was, in my opinion, to facilitate terrorism.
The Able Danger group stumbled on Mohammed Atta as a very suspicious Arab in the US that might be a terrorist. They were not sure about it or anything. They didn't see 9-11 right around the corner or anything. But they had huge suspicions and wanted to investigate, watch him, etc.
They were completely prohibited from doing so by Pentagon lawyers. It was upsetting, but they went on with their lives and sort of forgot about it (hoping for the best). Then 9-11 came and they realized what had happened.
While the main burden of this falls on the Clinton administration, the level of current coverup seems to clearly indicate that the Bush administration must have also made some mistakes related to this case. Hence, the complete coverup.
Thankyou!
