Mr Weldon said he now had proof there had been several attempts to transfer the information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but they were blocked by lawyers for the administration of President George W Bush.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next "THIS time we've got him!!!!" thread on DU.

"At least one" witness would testify under oath that Atta had been on the US intelligence radar before the attacks, the Pennsylvania politician said.

"At least one additional witnesses has come forward who just retired from one of the intelligence agencies who will also testify under oath that he was well aware of, and identified, Mohammed Atta's both name and photo prior to 9/11 occurring," he said.


My question: "Who?"

"We have information that will be testified to under oath that there were attempts to transfer information to the FBI on at least three occasions, and on all three of those occasions in September of 2000, lawyers within the administration denied those meetings from taking place," he said.

Ummmm...Refresh my memory. WHO was President in September 2000? It sure as hell wasn't George W. Bush.

What is with the Australian press?
Reporting on this fringe trivia when we have a constitutional crisis
over a blood-lust, shotgun shootin' Dick Cheney?!?!

Seriously, I think the MSM here in the USA is just about to get a
bit of a backlash. They've done nothing but obsess over a couple of
stay shotgun pellets and are devoting chunks of the ex-new program
that is still called "NightLine" to the atrocity committed by Cheney:
not calling the major news offices himself with the story.
Before taking his wounded buddy to the hospital.

If it were W's administration, this would have been trumpetted to the world 10,000 time in the press by now.

The date doesn't make sense.

Bush wasn't elected until Nov., and he was sworn in in January of 2001. The Clintons were too busy carting off the White House furnishings and pardoning drug dealers and contributors to the Clinton Presidential Library fund.to fully brief the incoming President..and their outgoing staffs were busy ruining the office computers and writing graffiti on Inauguration day.

I didn't read that in transcript of Weldon's press conference. I did read this:

No, I don't think it's Bush. I think it's career underlings that were holdovers from the previous administration who are fearful they're going to be embarrassed when the story is told. They're more concerned about their careers than the safety of the country. They're more concerned with their careers and their little fiefdoms than they are about what really happened in the run-up to 9/11. I mean, Richard Nixon covered up a third-rate burglary and had to resign from office. What's going on here?

And I believe I read that the one of the several hearings taking place will begin at 2:30 PM EST today, some open, some closed, closed because people who are afraid for their careers and possibly their lives.

MSM alert! lol- Look how they're trying to spin this now.

The DC elite must be starting to sweat, the Able Danger scandal is finally starting to break...of course they're going to cast blame at Bush as if this didn't go back to Clinton. They still disrespect the power of the new media. We know the truth, and if they run with this story, soon the rest of America will too!

AFTER the fact it's always EASY to put it all together. If you have NOTHING on him but suspicion, there's nothing you can do.

DOMESTIC TERRORISM ALERT. Please let me know by freepmail if you want to be put on or taken off this list. Thanks.

I've changed the name of the ping list. No longer the OKC/911 Connection, now Domestic Terrorism. The Able Danger scandal occupies an interesting position between OKC and 911, so I will be pinging this list to anything related. I will try to limit these pings to new information, since it looks like the MSM is running with it now.

lol This should be fun!

I guess it could have happened,[sarcasm] after all, President Nixon sent John Kerry to Cambodia before he was sworn in.

I mean,almost anything is possible. Two things which will never occur:1. An honest Democrat politic an. 2. A member of the mass media telling the truth.
