Congressman: U.S. Intel Knew 9/11 Plotters By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - 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 (news, bio, voting record), 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.

If they want to talk about "who knew what" and avoiding capturing "terrorists"...why don't they let Sibel Edmunds have a one hour special on live TV to educate america and catch the bad guys.

1. because it gives them some excuse, they think

They figure as long as they can stonewall anyone from hearing the full and complete testimony of Sibel Edmonds, Indira Singh, and other whistleblowers, they can spin this in their favor.

Their spin is bull, and we all know it.

[xchrom]

2. because rep weldon wants to lay 9-11 at the clinton's

doorstep.
and the ''media''{can we agree that term no longer applies?} at the behest of their corporate masters will go along with that.

[mopaul]

3. yeah, clinton did 9/11. the clinton's & the bin laden's go way back

oh wait, that's the bush family and the bin laden family go way back.

[xchrom]

7. shhh -- you musn't let that cat out of the bag.

isn't it amazing that anyone believes in an unbiased media -- that's the biggest non-secret the media doesn't talk about EVER!

well that and all the info bushco had and ignored leading up to 9-11.

4. IF anyone can prove LIHOP on either party ... send them to Gitmo

I think TPTB knew ... and at that level...there are no repug vs dems.

[liberalnurse]

6. The media keeps repeating......

"In 1999, the FBI knew all about Atta"......placing it squarely on Bill Clinton.

[cthrumatrix]

8. why not talk about the stock market options placed before 911 on airline

stocks...betting they go down..which they did.

Who stopped that investigation of purchases made ?????????

You could have tracked who bought those contracts and traced the $$$.

[annabanana]

12. exactly.. the further back they can rewrite history..

the more they can make it look like Clinton's fault.. ALSO, note the REASON they give that the info was not shared
"because Atta was in the Country LEGALLY" - that's to give them license to harass everybody, legal or not.


chip, chip, chipping away at civil liberties like evil inexorable little rats...

[moodforaday]

5. Because it apeared in NYT?

nt

[halsaxby]

9. Because those who profitted from...

puts made before 9/11 were also the ones who planned it?

[cthrumatrix]

10. of course ... let's ask the congressman about this

[wli]

11. after "who knew what?" it'll be "who ordered what?"

Maybe they're getting us prepped to receive the MIHOP news.

[rman]

13. damage control

Sibel's story is much more damaging then a simple "they knew"; most people will hardly wonder about such details as "how" and "why".

[cthrumatrix]

14. sooooo....."it's not about truth or accountability"?

[rman]

16. If it's left up to *, i wouldn't expect so. nt

[ixion]

15. Because the media is culpable, in part

so they have to stick to the official fairy-tale, er, story.
