Weldon: 'Able Danger' ID'd Atta 13 Times
By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Pre-Sept. 11 intelligence conducted by a secret military unit
identified terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta 13 different times
, a congressman said Tuesday
Confused



During a Capitol Hill news conference, Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., said the unit � code-named "Able Danger" �
also identified "a problem" in Yemen two weeks before the attack on the USS Cole. It knew the problem was tied into the
port of Aden and involved a U.S. platform, but the ship commander was not made aware of it, Weldon said.

The suicide bombing of the Cole killed 17 sailors on Oct. 12, 2000.

If anyone had told the Cole's commander that there was any indication of a problem in Aden, "he would not have gone there,"
Weldon told reporters. "He had no clue."

Weldon would not say who provided evidence of such intelligence to him.

Since August, Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has pushed Congress and the Pentagon to investigate the workings of Able Danger, which used data mining to identify links that might indicate the workings of terrorists. If he is correct, it would change the timeline for when government officials first became aware of Atta's links to al-Qaida.

Former members of the Sept. 11 commission have dismissed Weldon's findings.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists:
Government's 9/11 Story is Crazy
Idea

Should people who question the government's version of the events of 9/11 have their "heads examined"?

Well, the following psychiatrists and psychologists have concluded that the official version of 9/11 is false. Moreover, many of these mental health experts have concluded that the government's account is so obviously false that people who believe the government's version are in psychological denial:

Psychiatrist Carol S. Wolman, MD
Psychiatrist E. Martin Schotz

Professor of Psychology at University of New Hampshire William Woodward

Professor of Psychology at University of Essex Philip Cozzolino
Professor of Psychology at Goddard College Catherine Lowther

Professor Emeritus of Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies Ralph Metzner

Professor of Psychology at Rhodes University Mike Earl-Taylor
Retired Professor of Psychology at Oxford University Graham Harris

Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nebraska and licensed Psychologist Ronald Feintech

Ph.D. Clinical Neuropsychologist Richard Welser

Clinical psychologist, Ed.D., Harvard University Gwendolyn Atwood,

Psychology researcher, M.A., Psychology Victoria Ashley
Psychotherapist, M.S. Clinical Psychology, Greg Henricks

M.S. in educational psychology, Roy Holcombe
M.A. in Counseling Psychology Tova Gabrielle

There are literally thousands of other mental health professionals who have reached the same conclusions. So who is out of touch with reality: those who question 9/11 or those who believe the government's version without question?

Do you have any comment on the man "lifted" of clearance the day before he was to testify?


Absolutely. The allegations, if substantiated by direct evidence, would make revoking his clearances appropriate. (The govt is extremely uptight and Puritanical when it comes to security clearances. I don't agree with it, but they didn't invent this just to harass this officer.)

And I've seen no references to any direct evidence that would tend to substantiate his lawyer's claim that the Pentagon is attempting to undermine his credibility.

Do you have any links or other references to such direct evidence?


Yet again, the apologist. Oh, but I'm a centrist democrat!!

Lying is bad. Stop lying.
