King, Weldon make last-minute push (ABLE DANGER news)
....

But Weldon also has taken on the CIA and Pentagon. He wrote Countdown to Terror: The Top-Secret Information that Could Prevent the Next Terrorist Attack on America and How the CIA has Ignored It, which was published this year and ridiculed in some foreign-policy circles.

Weldon also has alleged that analysts working for a Pentagon program called “Able Danger” had identified Mohammed Atta and three other hijackers in 1999 but that Pentagon lawyers did not share the information with the FBI. The Pentagon has disputed the allegations.

Whatever the outcome in the contest for the Homeland Security chairmanship, Weldon is scheduled to testify at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing next week in which he said a witness will testify that he was ordered to destroy thousands of pages of computer data relating to Atta and that the person will state who gave him the order to destroy that information.

2. A coup?
Edited on Tue Sep-13-05 09:01 PM by Just Me
The Clinton adminstration was a helluva lot more obsessed with the terrorist threats than the Bushies and their constituencies who completely DROPPED the ball. Was there essentially a mutiny in place in anticipation of the BushCo/neoCON regime?
