Please look at all sources any of you may have to see if this is, in fact, the case.

Probably will be played up big on Today and GMA, if true.

[OldFriend]

So the pictures of Atta and the other hijackers that were shown in the media the very next day after 9/11 came from?????????????????????????????????

[mewzilla]

That's what I heard.

I'd say why don't we just look at the transcripts from the testimony to see who said what, but the Commission did not keep an official transcript. People took notes.

Now we know why.

[newzjunkey]

Denial is expected. Documentation *must* come out if there is any to back up the tale being told. And if this is a hoax designed to "cash in" on the Michael Moore tinfoil brigades there *must* be charges brought.

This is not a time to be yanking our chains. This is *serious*, not some Presidential peccadillo. If this is a Clintonian CYA operation by the Pentagon, Gorelick, Clintonistas and career cronies then heads *must* roll. This is too important. We need to get to the bottom of these allegations and find something that strongly resembles the damned truth!

[Preachin']

I wonder if those making the denials are career types, who protect other buddies in the intelligence community.

Maybe?

[BILL_C]

NEITHER side wants to deal with this "mess." Please leave it swept under the rug, where it was.

THEY will shut down the internet before they let this get any bigger legs.

There is absolutely NO doubt that they are changing the story, AGAIN.

[DTogo]

They just discussed this on TV, and it would appear that the Pentagon is unable (unwilling?) to locate documents supporting Able Danger's claims about Atta.

Hmmm, Sandy Burglar??

[Fresh Wind]

So, who exactly was the "two-star general" who slapped the muzzle on Shaffer when he was trying to get the word out on what they had found? No doubt, this general is still there, and he and his cronies are going to be in full CYA mode as this develops.

[leadpenny]

Miklaszewski on MSNBC with Imus by phone:

Atta's name has not yet been found on any Pentagon documents. DOD still looking.

[mict42]

The fix is in.

[JohnLongIsland]

everybody in d.c. is covering their rears big time

[Archon of the East]

I want my Damn country Back! This is pathetic. I feel we are being purposefully twisted and manipulated to the point we just give up all hope of a Constitutional Government.

Clearly the 9/11 farce commission was from day one nothing more than a political dog and pony show. Both Republicans and Democrats contributing to the game show like atmosphere though the Democrats certainly carried the disgusting rhetoric and accusations.

We all know Clinton was at best incompetent and more likely than that both incompetent and a criminal. Lets not forget China gate and the real reason "the wall" was erected. Now we have a GOP who seems not concerned with truth but the same Cover Your Ass politics we constantly accuse Democrats of. Does anybody in Washingtion tell the truth.

[JudgemAll]

10 to1 they knew but the actual report transcripts have been shreded.

This is typical MO within LE when the one making the complaint they like less than the criminal against whom they must do their jobs.

[johnny7]

When I heard yesterday that Kean had asked for documentation that the Pentagon knew about Atta(prior to 9/11) and that they were 'looking' -- I knew that 'looking'... really meant 'shredding'.

[funkywbr]

Raleign Nwes and Observer is now saying that the LT Col only remembers what he's talking about from HIS MEMORIES and the MEMORIES of others.

I thought that is how we all think back to the PAST.

Guess I've been WRONG all these years.

[Solson]

Even Shaffer is starting to backtrack. Looks like John Podheretz is right and is owed an apology by a bunch here on FR.

[longtermmemmory]

lower level clinton holdovers?

Who is LEAKING the whispers?

Does gorlick have girlfriends in the pentagon?

This is politics of personal destruction.

[sono]

Could there have been two Atta's?

August 19, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — The military brass hit back at an Army intelligence officer yesterday, saying a probe has found nothing to back up his claims that an intelligence unit had discovered the presence of 9/11 mastermind Mohamed Atta in the United States before the attacks.

Where's quidam when you need him?

[BayouCoyote]

Every things wrong. This story is really beginning to emit a stench from He!!.
