Keep in mind, it is just a gut feeling I got reading the early reports....

"..... "I'll tell you how stupid it was — they put stickies [like Post-it notes] on the faces of Mohamed Atta on the chart that the military intelligence unit had completed and they said you can't talk to Atta because he's here" legally, Weldon charged....."
That stickie thing strikes me as strange. It is overkill for "No". Go to the Atta link above and read the earlier articles. Once again, my sense is that they may very well have been worried about lawsuits, but they were also protecting Atta's identity as well. Why would they do that? Because he may have been doing business with us, but in the end he double crossed us.
That stickie was strange. It seems like overkill.
cool. Thanks
