9/11 COMMISSION DISMISSES ABLE DANGER AGAIN

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 15, 2005 01:49 PM

AP reports that former members of the Sept. 11 commission are dismissing assertions that the DoD intelligence unit known as Able Danger identified Mohammed Atta as a potential terrorist long before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Earlier this month, AP reported the results of a Pentagon investigation which concluded that five people involved with Able Danger “remember seeing a chart that either mentioned Atta by name as an al-Qaida operative or showed his photograph. Four of the five recalled a chart with a pre-9/11 photo of Atta; the other person recalled only a reference to his name.”

AJStrata wonders why the commission has lept onto such a shaky limb one week before U.S. Senate hearings on Able Danger begin: “Are [they] demonstrating they know something, or simply proving by example how they could have screwed the Able Danger issue up so badly?”
