WASHINGTON (AP) - The Sept. 11 commission will investigate a claim that U.S. defense intelligence officials identified ringleader Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers as a likely part of an al-Qaida cell more than a year before the hijackings but didn't forward the information to law enforcement.

Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa. and vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees, said Tuesday the men were identified in 1999 by a classified military intelligence unit known as "Able Danger." If true, that's an earlier link to al-Qaida than any previously disclosed intelligence about Atta.

Sept. 11 commission co-chairman Lee Hamilton said Tuesday that Weldon's information, which the congressman said came from multiple intelligence sources, warrants a review. He said he hoped the panel could issue a statement on its findings by the end of the week.

"The 9/11 commission did not learn of any U.S. government knowledge prior to 9/11 of surveillance of Mohammed Atta or of his cell," said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman from Indiana. "Had we learned of it obviously it would've been a major focus of our investigation."

2. Ahhhh good. More lies from the 9-11 commission. I didn't have my quota

today. Bet Jeb knew where Atta was, the ALLEGED hijacker. Oh, I forgot. We don't DO investigations or trials anymore.

3. Why don't they just chuck out the whole whitewash commissions

findings and start over. Matter of fact, I think they were supposed to finish something after the election.
How in the heck do you discontinue an investigation because it may look bad for a contestant? If they had got to the bottom of it, we wouldn't have dubby and jebby to kick around anymore.
:argh:
