Did We Know About Mohammad Atta Before 9/11?

Congressman Curt Weldon is carrying on his fight. He says he is in contact with the people that were part of the Able Danger intelligence operation that fingered Mohammad Atta and some of his cohorts. He repeats that the Able Danger people were prevented from taking their information to the FBI.

Part of what prevented that was a memo written by Jamie Gorelick – one of the 9/11 commissioners. The 9/11 commission has fired back at Weldon, but he is not backing down. He claims he will shortly have these guys testify in public as well as the person that told them they could not contact the FBI.

This could be a political nuclear bomb ticking. Jamie Gorelick was part of the Clinton administration. If it can be shown that her memo prevented this alleged communication and if Mohammad Atta and his friends had be picked up, there is a chance the whole attack could have been prevented.

Now if the 9/11 commission missed this, they will be properly hammered very hard.

What’s interesting is I don’t hear this on the MSM or see much in the Blogosphere. But I do hear it on talk radio.

It will be interesting to see where this story goes. Only time will tell.
