Humint Events Online: "Enable Danger"?

"Enable Danger"?

Operation Able Danger protected Mohamed Atta:
When members of Able Danger made their presentation at command headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base, Weldon said, the legal team "put stickies on the faces of Mohammed Atta on the chart," to reinforce that he was off-limits.

"They said, "You can't talk to Atta because he's here on a green card,"...


Ain't that just loverly.

Even more interestingly, General Tommy Franks appears to have been in charge of this operation, and he's also the same guy who let bin Laden escape at Tora Bora.

Can you say "mole"?

Or worse, could Franks be one of the 9/11 planners?



p.s. Ewing 2001 has some thoughts on "Able Danger". Laura Rozen has much more mainstream thoughts on "Able Danger".

Hi Strafing Moose! I left this same comment on your blog:
Here's the thing-- no one ever claimed Atta had a green card before, he had a temporary visitor/student visa according to the 911 report: "In mid-September, Atta and Shehhi applied to change their immigration status from tourist to student, stating their intention to study at Huffman until September 1, 2001."

So where the fuck did the green card come from? Note, a green card is NOT easy to get. I supect he didn't really have a green card but rather the DoD said he did in order to protect him from scrutiny.
