ABLE DANGER LOOKING REAL

I said way back here that Able Danger had zippo unless Weldon's sources stepped forward...............well one has. Link to video. But this source doesn't name Atta. It's getting closer and closer to Jamie Gorelik. The original story was on the early FOXNews....

Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer (search), a military intelligence specialist who worked on a secret pre-Sept. 11 investigative unit called Able Danger (search), has gone on the record, telling FOX News that he personally briefed staffers with the Sept. 11 commission in October 2003 about Mohamed Atta.

A statement from the commission — formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (search) — said that three staffers attended the meeting, but none, including Executive Director Phil Zelicow, remembers Shaffer mentioning Atta.

Then further down in the interview

"I'm told confidently by the person who moved the material over, that the 9/11 commission received two briefcase-sized containers of documents. I can tell you for a fact that would not be one-twentieth of the information that Able Danger consisted of during the time we spent" investigating, Shaffer said.

Shaffer said in the late summer of 2000, he tried three times to set up meetings between the FBI's Washington field office and officials with Able Danger who believed the information about Atta should be shared with domestic law enforcement.

Michael Mason, head of the FBI field office, said it's possible the meetings were arranged, but that cannot be verified by any means.

NOW it gets interesting. Looks like the Pentagon is covering up too.
Late Add: Kaus is all over this too. But FOX broke it.....

Washington Times says it's Pentagon fear of backlash
