Has a terrorists-did-this spin, but still... yet another real person from one of the agencies involved speaks out.
http://www.911citizenswatch.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=638How much more are we supposed to put up with from the 9/11 Commission or its follow on, the 9-11 Discourse Project?
First of all they create the perfect smoke screen to excuse accountability - "How could we have forseen this, with our failed imagination?" Then, they dismiss Rep. Curt Weldon's information about "Able Danger/Mohammed Atta" as being "historically insignificant," and this after failing to report "security performance issues leading up to 9/11 at the airports from which the hijacked planes departed."
The Commission's Staff Statement No. 3, "The Aviation Security System and the 9/11 Attacks," stated in reference to those security performance issues, that, "Such work is still ongoing." Unfortunately, it was either never completed or simply left out of their final report. It is possible that the Administration redacted this information from the Commission's last staff monograph, entitled "The Four Flights and Civil Aviation Security." But, if so, why won't the Commissioners tell us that?
The bottom line is that it has become increasingly clear that the 9/11 Commission's effort was incomplete. Its recommendations are based upon an illusory report and any attempt to grade compliance with its recommendations becomes a farcical exercise.
It is long past time that the American people and Congress demand accountability and demand that the rest of the 9/11 story be told. To do less will enable future terrorist attacks against us.
