Who is Dave Frasca?

[scottxyz]

...Today the Judiciary Committee met secretly with Dave Frasca, the former head of the FBI's radical fundamentalist unit and the agent that many up here on Capitol Hill believe is the one person who should have had access to two of the biggest dots that were never connected. Frasca was the point person in FBI Headquarters for the Moussaoui investigation in Minneapolis, and his name was also on the distribution list for the Phoenix memo that warned about the Middle Eastern men training at U.S. flight schools. Frasca told the committee that he actually never saw the Phoenix memo.

Patrick J. Leahy (an anthrax target) (D-VT) Charles E. Grussley, (R-Iowa) and Arlen Specter (R-PA) "have identified Dave Frasca" as the cutting edge of the U.S. Government's pre-September 11 'do-nothing' policy in regards to Al Qaeda terrorists.

... I know this for a fact - there are FBI agents in NY who would tear
Frasca limb from limb should they meet him in a dark alley for his
part in letting 9/11 proceed. And there is nothing Karl Rove could do
about that. There are some in this mob controlled FBI who have
limits... heck, even the mob has better family values than this White
House...

Dave Frasca (FBI Osama Bin Laden Unit)

Frasca was the recipient of both the Minneapolis memo seeking search
warrants for Zacarias Moussaoui's computer, and the Phoenix memo
seeking a nationwide canvass of flight schools for suspicious Arab
students. Frasca blocked both efforts. Why?

2. Whoa.......he's got roots back to the Bush1 administration.

That's news to me. I've always wondered about his role.....what bothers me is why the guy was given a promotion and more responsibility AFTER 9/11. It is unfathomable as to why people are rewarded for stuffing information that might have thwarted 9/11. Same with Meyers on the military side.

4. Promotion for doing exactly what was required from him

(beware of my evil conspiracy theories)

3. IE: Not many people are needed for a conspiracy

One standard argument of those who easily call dissenting ideas "conspiracy theories" is that far too many people would have known of such a big conspiracy, and that that would be impossible, because something would have leaked.

The Frasca case shows, however: You only need few people in the right places. The huge "intelligence failure" rarely did exist on lower levels of the agencies (after all, the names of many of the Atta-crew were known years before 9/11), but people like Frasca made the "failure" possible.

5. Indeed.

I think people don't realize how certain well-positioned people in our CIA/FBI/ military could effect the event. One things for sure, this info should have been "stovepiped" up the channel....and this needs to be probed as to why. Meyers no-show during the event assured that the military response would be delayed.

Another way we ddn't react was when calls from bases were coming into command. When asked what was needed for weaponry, the orders were "everything you've got". That effectively meant delaying the response while planes were outfitted with ATA missles. Why would this be needed on 1st response? Certainly the 1st interceptors needed to only make visual contact with the cockpit. Cannon rounds would suffice on bringing down a commercial liner, if this was called for. The CO that gave these orders died suddenly a few months after 9/11. This is in the www.cooperativeresearch.org timeline, I believe.

It disturbs me, too, that the hardworking FBI/CIA field operatives had the information, yet they are taking the hit for people above them who, for whatever reason, did not connect the dots. The institutions are being blamed, when it is clearly identified people within the organizations that did not react to the information they had.
