OK, so Howard Dean actually got one right (well, not as right as he would like to have).
"An interesting theory that the President knew about 9/11/01 before it happened!"
Well, turns out he did ... sorta.
US Army Special Forces Inteligence unit (classified) code named "Able Danger" was tasked for 3 years to concentrate on Al-Queda. They located 2 domestic cells, one of which was Mohammad Atta's cell, knew Atta's name, had his picture, and those of 3 others of his cell. They took this info to the pentagon and desired to go to the FBI (and to the administration). They were stopped at the pentagon by administration attorneys who told them 2 things:
1- he is here legally so you cannot touch him, regardless of what he has done
2- We do not want any more political fallout like that taken from the Waco seige of the Branch Davidians.
So, the administration knew of Atta, knew the Army classified him as dangerous and in need if either surveilance , questioning, or both, had his cell named and photo ID'd, and all this was done with public information by computers running some very good data-crunching software. The administration did NOTHING, and we have history as we know it, 3,000 corpses later.
When did this occur? 1999
Which administration? William Jefferson Clinton (1992-2000)
The same guy who refused to take Osama Bin Laden off the market a couple years earlier when offered by the Sudanese.
The 911 commission was not told of this, many people on the comissioner's staffs knew of it as they were briefed, twice, but did not tell them of it.
The staffs stories are changing as rapidly as questions are asked now. Looks suspicious to me. Not briefed, briefed once, briefed twice but dicounted the data, wonder what story is ready for tomorow?
