Able Danger - I am outraged!
The more I think about how the information gathered by the Able Danger data-mining project, identifying Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers two of which were the pilots, was disregarded by the 9/11 commission the more outraged I become.
After reading the overwhelming amount of analysis in the blogosphere that has been done so far since this story broke I can only come to the conclusion that one reason the Able Danger data was not included in 9/11 report because it did not fit their preconceived notion of how their reports conclusion should read. Their original task was to examine all of the intelligence gathering prior to 9/11 and figure out where the dots were not connected and make sure that the next time they are connected and quickly. Well for God's sakes we have a GLARING unconnected dot that the 9/11 commission just decided to leave out of its report with no investigation whatsoever. Why wasn't this information followed up and investigated more thoroughly.
It appears another reason may have been to protect one of the members of the 9/11 panel, Jamie Gorelick the author of the policy called "the wall." She is responsible for the policy that prevented sharing of information between law enforcement agencies. The Able Danger information was not shared specifically due to this policy. If it had been shared then it is quite possible that the 9/11 attacks may possibly have been prevented.
Another quite an intriguing question is just exactly what documents did Sandy Berger smuggle out of the National Archives and "accidently" destroyed? Apparently there are copies of the documents that ended up in his socks and the 9/11 commission supposedly knows what these documents are. Why doesn't the public know? We have a right to know what Berger was doing and why. He may have been trying to eliminate any information related to Able Danger from being given to the 9/11 commission and we need to know if this is the case.
This is a huge story and needs to continue. We need to know the truth about the 9/11 commission and what haappened with the Able Danger information.
