Now I am not jumping on any bandwagon but, this could be trouble. If you haven't heard yet there is a story about the 9-11 commission and some evidence they decided was not worthy of their report. The news is still coming out and I imagine we all need to wait to find out more details but this is a rough outline.
A SOCOM unit, run by Gen. Shelton himself, then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, identifies Atta and the Brooklyn cell as a threat as early as 1999.
A year before 9/11, they recommend that that the FBI close down the cell. DOD lawyers overrule this recommendation, and refuse to allow the Able Danger guys to pass this information on to the FBI, because Atta has a legal immigration status, and they are worried about political fallout after Waco. They put Post-It notes over Atta's face so that all reference to him is kept secret.
The lawyers wouldn't okay passing that info on to the FBI because of the wall of separation erected between intelligence services by 9/11 Commissioner, and Clinton appointee Jamie Gorelick.
If this turns out to be accurate the entire 9-11 report needs to be throw in the trash.
