It Is Quite Annoying

that there is this meme going around that Weldon made up the "Able Danger" story and that the story has "unraveled", when it seems clear that certain people (i.e. liberals who are afraid of Clinton being blamed for 9/11) just don't want to believe the story.

Most importantly, there are two other sources for the "Able Danger" story besides Weldon:

Two sources are at the heart of Weldon's allegations. One, a former defense intelligence official, has told media outlets and Weldon that he briefed the commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow, and three other staff members about Able Danger's identification of Atta during an overseas meeting in October 2003. The commission said in its statement that its records of the briefing, held in Bagram, Afghanistan, include no mention of Atta and that none of the staff members who attended recalls such a claim.

The second person, described by the commission as a U.S. Navy officer employed at the Defense Department, was interviewed by senior panel investigator Dieter Snell and another staff member on July 12, 2004, 10 days before the release of the commission's best-selling report.

Got that? Two other sources besides Weldon. So Weldon isn't just making this up.

Clearly, however, most of the Washington establishment would like this story to go away, for various reasons, and so away it will go. Just another one of those "debunked" claims about 9/11...
