Nope, Drum says, and let's just forget whether the quotes are left or right wing quotes, people from all political points of view are quite capable of not quoting correctly. Drum says that he has read Shaffer's comments carefully and he finds them vague.

Now take your quote:

In my October discussion with him, I did not discuss the names of the terrorists. I'm not saying that. I never said that. I did talk about the fact that we found three cells through the use of some advanced technology, two to three cells which conducted 9/11 attacks, to include Atta.

That comment says very clearly he thinks the two or three cells included Atta but does not say, unequivocally, that he told him (whoever him is, perhaps it's Zelikow since his name is now being used in the open on this) about Atta.

I simply think now that Shaffer has far too many versions of these stories out there to be a credible source and the Pentagon seems unwilling to say one way or the other. Unless you now know something I don't.

I saw something from Podhoretz earlier today, a link from some blog, washing his hands of this once again.
