Aside from all the political ramifications, what is striking is that this Brooklyn connection of Atta's appears to have been unknown before.

The Times noted the "Brooklyn cell" about 2 weeks ago, IIRC.

Was he also connected to the Al Farooq Mosque?

I have no idea.

I meant since the emergence of the Able Danger material.

I am hoping that this means there will be new leads pursued to cells within the US which I am sure exist.

This will only be possible if the 9/11 Commission, Commissioner Kean, and the Gorelicks, Bergers and the like stop obfuscating, stalling and questioning the authenticity.

Also Weldon's interest was first stirred by pending legislation to limit data mining. I sure hope that assinine idea gets canned.
