I agree, securing our methods and our spooks are more important than scoring political points. There might actually be adults in charge and doing the right thing here

I disagree.

The Pentagons official line is that Atta did not appear in Able Danger.

So why prevent officers from testifying about something that supposely never happened?

If it really was a non-event, there is no risk of classified information being divulged from something that did not exist.

But, the truth is probably that Atta's name was known before Sept 11, and someone is in CYA mode big time now.

yep...

as usual, common sense has taken a back seat on this thread....
