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.
[...]
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.

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?
