Because the 9-11 Commission was made up predominately of enemies of this Republic.

...Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.), the No. 2 man on both the House Armed Services and Homeland Security committees, revealed that an elite military-intelligence unit known as Able Danger identified Atta and three other hijackers as likely members of a terror cell in this country as early as 1999.
The spies wanted to turn the info over to the FBI in 2000, Weldon said, "so they could bring that cell in and take out the terrorists."
He claimed Pentagon lawyers rejected the recommendation because they mistakenly believed that since Atta and the others were in the country legally on visas, they could not be investigated.
In fact, U.S. law bars such intelligence investigations only of American citizens and immigrant "green card" holders — but visa-holders such as Atta and the other hijackers are fair game. ...
Another reason for the Pentagon lawyers' actions, Weldon said, was a pre-Sept. 11 barrier that prevented the FBI and U.S. spy agencies from sharing intelligence — a practice the 9/11 commission criticized last year in its final report.
Jamie Gorelick, a deputy attorney general under former President Bill Clinton and a commission member, codified the separation between investigative and intelligence agencies in a 1995 memo.
Weldon first made his allegations in an unnoticed floor speech in June.
The issue heated up Monday after a story ran in the bimonthly Government Security News, which covers national-security matters....
But Weldon suggested Able Danger's explosive findings had been hidden from commission members.
"Let's put the intelligence folks under oath and let them be cross-examined. And let's put the staffers on the 9/11 commission under oath and let those under oath tell what information they gave," Weldon said.

How about 'Deported August 13, 2005'
Weldon was on Fox and friends this morning. He said that the Commission staff interview members of the "Abel-Baker" team, and that several members offered to tesify further. The commission staff never informed their bosses about this. Still being investigated as to why the staff hid it.
Pushing for Congressional investigation.
I think this smells very much like a Clinton cover up operation
Gorelick and Benvenista weren't on the 9-11 Commission by accident. They were appointed for one specific purpose -- to protect Clinton. And Sandy Bergler's pants-full of documents were additional insurance to protect Clinton.
The Clinton Legacy continues.
what did shrillary know and when did she ignore it?
Because the 9-11 Commission was made up predominately of enemies of this Republic.
Gorelick and Berger, Clinton's thugs. Amazing. Now Sandy's got his own think tank, a perpetual propaganda machine with multo $$$$ benefits. (Jamie?)Gorelick is probably similarly well off, and Hill plans to run for President on Bill's 'record'. Naturally the record must remain sacrosanct, otherwise Hill has nothing to run on but her own wretchedness.
I hate to use a frog word but TOUCHE'!!
It was very obvious that information at the 9-11 hearings were "selective" and controlled by the Dems. Condi's interview was just so obvious, it was disgusting. How dare he "TRY" to cut her off in the middle of a dissertaion which would leave the record tainted with what they "wanted to hear" and not the whole truth.
those two pictures, sadly, tell it all. I hope some artist picks up on it and puts them together somehow.
I mean, hell -- this is HUGE stuff, and the staffers never passed it on? One would almost think that there was a partisan tinge to these particular staffers, wouldn't you?
You're right: cover-up is the best bet.
I won't be surprised if the left comes back and says, "Well, if it was so important, they should have broken the law and gone ahead and shared the information."
Correct. Gorelick did her job and was well paid by the Clintons.
That sticker would read guilty of treason
Does anyone believe there will be congressional hearings on this?
Surely they will.
Thanks for the resource.
