Able Danger - Update
Well now, Thursday, August 11, 2005; 1:01 PM, the Washington Post has a story about this. The "Post" is reporting on the discrepancy of a Tuesday statement that 9/11 Commission didn't know but now on Thursday they did know... Like I said earlier this will be interesting.
Also, about 11:45am I heard a radio report on this story; however, it was a Fox Radio feed. Can it be ignored any longer? What did Sandy Berger remove?
Now shortly after the Washington Post story was release we have a USA Today releasing one... Amazing how that works!

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Sept. 11 commission knew military intelligence officials had identified lead hijacker Mohamed Atta as a member of al-Qaeda who might be part of U.S.-based terror cell more than a year before the terror attacks but decided not to include that in its final report, a spokesman acknowledged Thursday.Hmm, identified in 1999 and rejected the recommendation to turn information over to FBI in 2000 -- who was in charge then? Why was this over looked during the 9/11 commission? What did Sandy Berger remove?

a classified military intelligence unit called "Able Danger" identified Atta and three other hijackers in 1999 as potential members of a terrorist cell in Brooklyn, N.Y. Weldon said Pentagon lawyers rejected the unit's recommendation that the information be turned over to the FBI in 2000.
