A can of worms. This takes it back to the Clinton administration but that should be no surprise as most would have assumed the shadow government had the Sept 11 plan in the pipeline for some time. Even if it may obfuscate for some the net result should be a wider sense of the lack of credibility of the 911 Commission and increased pressure for a genuine independent inquiry.
It was difficult to choose extracts there being so many.
Press Conference of Rep Curt Weldon: 9/11 Conmission and Operation "Able Danger"
...I can tell you, to not have this covered by the 9/11 Commission, to not have it mentioned, for them to say, as they did initially, that it was historically insignificant -- 2.5 terabytes of data about Mohammed Atta and Al Qaida, a three-hour briefing for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is historically insignificant? A briefing that included Richard Schiefren (ph), with Steve Cambone, in March of 2001, five months before 9/11, is historically insignificant? I don't think so." ...
"..I can tell you that two of the people involved with this will testify under oath on Wednesday: Lieutenant Colonel Tony Shaffer, who's in the hallway and the FBI woman whose name has been out in the news, who set the meetings up. Neither of them are backing down on their statements.
So they can swear all they want; they can be as emphatic as they want. We have two people who will testify under oath that, number one, they set the meetings up; and, number two, that the purpose of those meetings was to transfer information that Able Danger had produced about Al Qaida and about the linkages of the Brooklyn cell and Mohammed Atta."
