Able Danger hearing sets intelligence officers at oddsThe Pentagon's top intelligence official clashed repeatedly Wednesday with former operatives of the clandestine Able Danger program over how much the government knew about al-Qaeda before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Much of the testimony focused on whether hijacking mastermind Mohammed Atta had been identified long before the tragedy.
In a rare public display of bitter disputes within the close-knit military intelligence community,
three members of a computer data-mining initiative code-named "Able Danger" told Congress that the Sept. 11 attacks might have been prevented if law-enforcement agencies had acted on the information about al-Qaeda they unearthed.snip
"There's been no investigation!" Weldon said. "There's been no analysis by the 9/11 commission or anyone else."Continued at link.

Despite the Commission's protests, A.D. was more than just an idea, Zelikow
did meet with A.D. operatives, and it's looking like the CIA had a hand in pulling the plug on A.D., maybe other alphabet agencies helped squash it, too.
In case you didn't know... Zelikow's hand-picked staffers designed, tailored, omitted information that the actual 'Commission' members saw. So it's no suprise that the Commission came up with the virtually useless "Final Report".
And now it's recorded in Congressional testimony. The 9/11 Commission couldn't have produced the "full and accurate" depiction of the events of 9/11 that they promised,
because they never had "full and accurate" information to begin with.
