Able Danger goes down for the third time
Readers of Mercury Rising will not be surprised by the following news:
Shenon, NYT:
The Defense Department's inspector general on Thursday dismissed claims by military officers and others who had insisted that a secret Pentagon program identified Mohamed Atta and other terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks before the attacks occurred...
The claim that a secret Pentagon data-mining program had known of Mr. Atta and other hijackers before Sept. 11 created a stir when the witnesses' accounts became public last year, because it suggested that the Defense Department had information that might have helped pre-empt the attacks had it been shared outside of the Pentagon.
Granted, the IG's office was totally corrupted. But if Curt Weldon opposes the report, it must be right.

Ah, yes. Able Danger, the right-wing's most famous attempt to hang the blame for 9/11 on Bill Clinton. The fact that Curt Weldon, a known nutbar, backed it was a big red flag warning that this might be less than credible. And so it has proved to be.
