The startling revelations first surfaced in late June, from Congressman. Curt Weldon (R-PA), Vice-Chairman of the House Homeland Security and Armed Services Committees, citing at least three active military and intelligence officials. The story eventually made the New York Times headlines, thrice, the latest report on Tuesday quoting Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, who was a liaison with the Able Danger unit at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Lt. Col. Shaffer gave on the record confirmation of the details revealed by Rep. Weldon, but further stated that Able Danger had scheduled three meetings in the summer of 2000 with the FBI’s Washington field office to share the findings and recommend to “take out that cell.”
But that didn’t happen, did it? They never did “take out that cell”. Why not?

Maybe we should email the article to Bill Clinton and Al Gore since, one year before 9/11/01, they were in power.
Rob
Um, hellooo Rob … who exactly had the power the year before ’01? Not Clinton.
Or … we could pay attention to some of what fellow guest-blogger Joesph Cannon has been finding:
And there’s more from Cannonfire here, for anyone who is interested in learning. But those who are primarily — or even solely — interested in blaming the 9/11 attacks on Clinton are not going to find solace there.
And this …..
The President Who Took Bin Laden Seriously
[snip] While the nonpartisan members of the 9/11 commission have sounded excruciatingly even-handed as they issued their final report, the Republican congressional leadership – which has always tried to thwart the 9/11 investigation – blatantly insists on blaming Clinton or the intelligence failures that resulted in the fateful attacks.
Two days before the report appeared, House Speaker Dennis Hastert and his leadership team exploited a briefing on the report to mount a partisan assault.
Their script, repeated by Hastert and his whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo., suggested that "eight months of the Bush administration" couldn’t make up for the policies established during "eight years of the Clinton administration."
Readers of the report will also note its sharp criticism of the inadequacy and inattention to the real "gathering threat" during the ’90s in Congress, where the "overall attention … to the terrorist threat was low … [and] not impressive." Of course, the Republican caucus has exercised iron control over the nation’s legislative agenda since 1995.
… Again and again, the report takes careful note of Clinton’s active, personal participation in the effort against al-Qaida during the Millennium alert, exploding myths about his supposed distraction by domestic scandals. Clarke spoke directly with the president on several occasions that month. "In mid-December," the report reveals, "President Clinton signed a Memorandum of Notification (MON) giving the CIA broader authority to use foreign proxies to detain Bin Ladin lieutenants, without having to transfer them to U.S. custody. The authority was to capture, not kill, although lethal force might be used if necessary."
The commission confirms Clinton’s widely reported "obsession" with al-Qaida, describing in detail his efforts to raise international awareness, increase spending on counterterrorism and homeland security long before that phrase became fashionable, and to demand action by the nation’s covert forces. Indeed, their report credits Clinton with ignoring a serious threat to his own safety to seek foreign assistance in the struggle against bin Laden. ~~~~~~~~MORE~~~~~~~~
How about this loooong list —
Clinton vs Terror // Republicans vs Clinton
It’s beginning to look more and more like the administration is working harder to bring this country down than alguada excuse spelling. There seem to be more and more republicans complicit.
Great articles in this month’s Vanity Fair, All Roads Lead To Rove and a great story on Sibel Edmonds. It’s expensive, I think, but worth the money. Whistleblowers being canned …fbi and cia that stop the information flow revealing terroists, getting promotions. Lots of treason going on and a media black out.
I have just written up an article on the newly released Iraq documents, and how they relate to 9/11.
Please take a look over my article, and please give me some feedback
