Able Danger: Why Wasn't the FBI Told About Mohammad Atta Before the 9-11 Attacks - Part 4
Description
Able Danger identified Mohammad Atta and at least 2 other 9-11 hijackers more than a year before the 9-11 attacks. Why was the data that connected Mohammad Atta as a possible terrorist threat to the United States destroyed, and why wasn't this information shared with the FBI so the 9-11 attacks might have been prevented?
4. Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) reveals the truth that, in fact, the 90 day rule has not been followed, "...there is data that's still being data mined today that's pre-9-11 data, and obviously some of that's going to have data about US persons...the lawyer for DoD, and this meeting took place in my office with my chief of staff and I think one other person with me as witnesses, Dr. Bob Johnson said that his lawyer consulting him on the information data mining collecting at Garland was in fact Richard Shiffren. And Richard Shiffren told him, don't worry about how long you keep the data. You fill a form out, you sign it, you put it in the bin, you keep it as long as you want. That's not exactly what we were told by Bill Dugan in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. In fact it flies directly in the face of that, that there was a cavalier attitude. And so the question that we ask is then, why was the data destroyed? And now we find out that it wasn't all destroyed..." (the mp3 file is here)
