New 911 Revelations: Bush Admin Knew About OBL But Ignored Info

[TankLV]

Was warned about him by outgoing Clinton Administration.

Story by Joseph Cannon @ link above.

"Representative Curt Weldon (R-PA), Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee has revealed that a specialized unit of the DIA, code-named ABLE DANGER (which was being run by the Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida) had identified Mohammed Atta and other terrorist associates weeks before the presidential election of 2000. Atta was photographed and named as a member of al Qaida."

"The 2000 campaign was underway; conceivably, Bush supporters within the DOD may have felt uneasy at the prospect of handing the outgoing Clinton administration a last-minute "win" against Osama bin Laden."

5. This info has been out there a long time

Will wrote about in one of his pieces on Clinton. I am looking for the article.

7. I remember reading it too, and have wondered why it

seemed to have no impact. Just a dull thud, and it was gone.

[merh]

6. This has been out there - Clark and others have said this for

years now. This is not news - it is just part of the ignored reality of the BFEE and the corporate media whores.

9. True

The only news about this is that MSM is feeling ballsy enough to actually publish it.

[merh]

13. Not to make light of Mr. Brad Blog's work

But Clark said this when interviewed on programs and in articles and in his book - Albright essentially has said this.

This has made news before.

8. abramoff casino connection to atta and 911 terrorist -- is this old?

On September 26, 2001, Associated Press writer Vickie Chachere reported that FBI agents probing Atta's connections had turned their attention to SunCruz casinos -- then owned by Abramoff:

SunCruz Casinos has turned over photographs and other documents to FBI investigators after employees said they recognized some of the men suspected in the terrorist attacks as customers... Names on the passenger list from a Sept. 5 cruise matched those of some of the hijackers...
Since Abramoff used SunCruz to provide services to Republicans (we may safely presume that the Super Bowl junket wasn't the only occasion), I'd very much like to see that September 5, 2001 passenger manifest. Who was on the boat with the terrorists?

Several sources have noted that al Qaida operatives had a strange penchant for haunting casinos -- and few investigators believe that their purpose was gambling. For example, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on November 4, 2001 that Atta and two other 9/11 terrorists took mysterious side trips to Las Vegas, in June and August; FBI investigators suspected that they may have been involved in the passing of counterfeit bills.

The Toronto Star of September 20, 2002 reported that members of al Qaida were arrested in Buffalo, New York, for participation in a money laundering scheme centered at the Casino Niagara.

We have excellent reason to suspect that a similar scheme prompted Mohammed Atta to hop aboard Jack Abramoff's SunCruz ship.

If -- and based on the current state of evidence, we must stresss the word "if" -- if further evidence links Mohammed Atta to G.O.P.-friendly shady operators, then many lingering questions may find an answer. Among those questions: Why was the ABLE DANGER team told to steer clear of Atta?

10. i mean, it's old in terms of the reporting, but is it old in terms of

connecting the dots?

12. Drip, Crack, Gush n/t

[NAO]

11. This is VERY OLD news. I first read it in Al Franken's Book in 2003

Al Franken laid out the entire scenario, which he called "Operation Ignore" in his book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right". That book came out in August 2003, over six months BEFORE Clark's book came out.

For the REAL story on Bush and 9/11, read "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11" by theologian David Ray Griffin.

14. This is exactly the kind of story that has fueled the "feelings" that

so many of us living in NYC, and the LIHOP and MIHOP crowd have had since 9/11. There are just too many coincidences--it's way beyond the "6 degrees of separation". It at the point where I believe that if you're not a "conspiracy theorist", than you're in denial and a "coincidence theorist"!
