And this is the one I've been looking for. I now have a backhoe file in my "favorites".
In order for CQ readers to access the new posts covering the emerging scandal surrounding the revelations about the Able Danger data-mining project that accurately identified Mohammed Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers, I have created a new category for these posts called 9/11 Commission. Here are the posts so far that have gone into this category:
9/11 Cell Identified In 2000
Dafydd: Tangled Webs, Contrasting Countdowns
Confirmation Of Able Danger Raises Even More Questions
9/11 Commission Acknowledges Briefing On Able Danger
The Second Half Of 9/11
9/11 Commission Changes Its Story -- Again
Rethinking Prague After Able Danger
The Wall, The White Memo, And The DoD
NEW: Another Detail The 9/11 Commission Seems To Have Missed
Later on, I will try to update older posts relating to the 9/11 Commission to put them in this same category. This will be a subcategory of the War on Terror category, so all of these posts will remain within that group as well. Hopefully this post will provide a quick guide to the coverage of Able Danger here at CQ in the meantime.
UPDATE: WorldNet Daily notes some of my analysis in their overview on Able Danger and the collapse of the 9/11 Commission's credibility. Darn, no hyperlinks, but a very nice summary of a few of the above posts.

I've been going top bring up a number of points (shall we say dots that need connecting?) with respect to this affair, but I find it has already been done at The Hatfill Deception:

Thanks , I just found this thread, it looks more interesting than the Sunday talks.
Thanks for looking.
As he should be. What exactly did he discover about Bill Clinton? That he received sexual favors from a bloated ingenue? Meanwhile Clinton was taking seven-figure bribes from the Communist Chinese and we're supposed to believe it was just for coffee. Webb Hubbell is being paid hush money, and Vincent Foster is murdered. And Ken Starr helped cover everything up, while the national media did the old Brer Rabbit Routine. FReepers shouldn't fall for such nonsense.

What exactly did he discover about Bill Clinton?

Not enough, that is for sure. And remember that Starr was working under the official "stewardship" of "Jan The Man" Reno...that says alot. Yes, criminals protecting criminals -- welcome to the Clinton administration. Billy should have been put away for Chinagate many times over, to say nothing of tracing the trail of bodies left behind the Clintons -- I think there are at least ten life sentences buried in real history around him. And it is just too consequential, that Bonnie and Clyde still walk the streets FREE PEOPLE....that says something.

Excellent links, thank you.
I was relieved to see there wasn't one mention of abortion or stem cell research.
Unless (until) our side decides to stop letting those topics dominate our agenda, we are going to have a harder time of it.
Great job backhoe.
Re the evil Cindy not our good Freeper Cindy, last week I posted that someone should turn her into the IRS and California Franchise Tax Board to see if she was paying taxes on the income she was generation as a DNC whore in the media. I got some flack from some people for doing that.
Hopefully, she will be investigated and jailed for failure to pay taxes.
Great data.
The rest of you, please use your ping lists.
Starr and Fiske, et al.: There's Little to ShowML/NJIn regard to Kenneth Starr's Oct. 20 editorial-page commentary "What We've Accomplished":
Mr. Starr exhibits astonishing ignorance about the case he inherited from Robert Fiske, and then husbanded for five years. He states that, "Mr. Fiske, like any federal prosecutor, had the authority to take the investigation in whatever direction seemed promising." This is nonsense. Janet Reno issued a regulation to serve as Fiske's charter for his investigation. The regulation contains four sections. Each starts with the words, "The Independent Counsel: In re Madison Guarantee Savings & Loan Association." Each refers to "FEDERAL criminal law." (my emphasis) Fiske had no legal authority to investigate anything that occurred while Clinton was President. Mr. Starr states that, "Fiske and his staff had been investigating cases of bankruptcy fraud, various tax matters, and apparent irregularities in the gubernatorial campaign." If this is true, there is little to show for it. Fiske issued two reports, both on the death of Vincent Foster, but otherwise there is no evidence that he did anything at all.
Of course there is little to show for Mr. Starr's own effort. He seems to want to blame this on Susan McDougal, as if she were the Rosetta Stone of every Clinton Scandal. But Susan McDougal was not there when Chinese funny money was being accepted, Billy Dale was being railroaded, FBI files were being abused, or Webbster Hubbell was receiving hush money. Starr wrote instead about Monica Lewinsky.
The American Thinker has really been on target and on track on this mess. The comments below from your link to the current American Thinker are excellent.:
"The CIA has to know all about the French forgery, just as it knows that Joseph Wilson's famous trip to Niger was pure bilgewater. Nobody sends a has-been diplomat to Africa to drink mint tea with corrupt old President Tandja Mamadou, expecting to discover whether Mamadou has secretly been selling nuke materials to Saddam."
"That's pure Inspector Clousseau."
So why did Alan Foley, Plame's boss send Wilson to Niger? The answer is simple to set up this entire scam.
"Valerie Plame's CIA bosses took care not to ask Mr. Wilson to sign a confidentiality agreement, routine in such cases, almost as if they wanted him to make a public fuss. They were not surprised, one might think, when Mr.
Wilson promptly took his story to New York Times Op-Ed Editor Gail Collins, one of the great Bush-haters of all time. As Joseph DiGenova, former US Attorney for DC, recently said, "The CIA isn’t stupid. They wanted this story out."
Those of us who have high security clearances and know whole the CIA normally operates have brought up this question before. Did Wilson sign the normal confidentiality papers which would have made it a crime to disclose what he did and the results? Apparently, Alan Foley and other left wing lunatics in the Agency bypassed this requirement.
"It was a publicity stunt from the get-go. Wilson's "confidential trip" to Niger gave him the superficial credentials to publish his "expose" in the Times. He'd gone there, talked to the top officials face to face, and by gum, they told him it was all a lie! Not even Gail Collins could possibly believe this banana sauce, but Wilson's charges provided a useful stick with which to beat the White House."
Actually it was beyond a publicity stunt. It was a pre planned attempt to electronically coup our president with pre planned lies and spin, which they are still trying to use.

Appreciate your looking- thanks!
Absolutely-- and if the TOM ( tired old media ) had one single investigative reporter worth a damn, they could uncover far, far more than us web denizens have. This scandal, nay, outrage, has tentacles that spread far & wide over many other stories we have covered. All it needs is someone persistent enough to follow all the leads and connect all the dots.
