"Able Danger"...

Roger L. Simon

...is the name of a classified military intelligence unit that allegedly identified Mohammed Atta and three of his fellow conspirators over a year before 9/ll but were unable to get their information to the FBI. From the AP:
    [Representative Curt] Weldon said that in September 2000 
    Able Danger recommended that its information on the 
    hijackers be given to the FBI ``so they could bring that 
    cell in and take out the terrorists.'' However, Weldon 
    said Pentagon lawyers rejected the recommendation because 
    they said Atta and the others were in the country legally 
    so information on them could not be shared with law 
    enforcement.
Well, I'm sure the ACLU will be pleased, but most of us will have more ambivalent reactions. The New York Times' version is here.
