The legacy of the President Bill Clinton gets another nudge in the 'Most Screwed' category:
'Able Danger' Intel Could Rewrite 9/11 HistoryI haven't kept up on this fully in the last few days - been dealing with some personal things - but as with most 'smoking crater' stories like this I'll have to reserve final judgement until more information is made available.WASHINGTON — The federal commission that probed the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks was told twice about "Able Danger," a military intelligence unit that had identified Mohamed Atta and other hijackers a year before the attacks, a congressman close to the investigation said Wednesday.
Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., a champion of integrated intelligence-sharing among U.S. agencies, wrote to the former chairman and vice-chairman of the Sept. 11 commission late Wednesday, telling them that their staff had received two briefings on the military intelligence unit — once in October 2003 and again in July 2004.
Weldon said he was upset by suggestions earlier Wednesday by 9/11 panel members that it had been not been given critical information on Able Danger's capabilities and findings.
"The impetus for this letter is my extreme disappointment in the recent, and false, claim of the 9/11 commission staff that the commission was never given access to any information on Able Danger," Weldon wrote to former Chairman Gov. Thomas Kean and Vice-Chairman Rep. Lee Hamilton. "The 9/11 commission staff received not one but two briefings on Able Danger from former team members, yet did not pursue the matter.
However - for the moment, I can say this: one or more people are in need of a serious ass-whooping even if some of this pans out.
And I'm talking about 2x4 with a nail in it type ass-whooping.
Congratulations President Clinton: the *cough* 'legacy' of your presidency is shaping up nicely and you're well on your way to becoming the Neville Chamberlain of our lifetimes....
