Clinton Lawyers: Mohamed Atta Off-Limits |
Clinton Lawyers: Mohamed Atta Off-Limits
Friday, Aug. 12, 2005 11:14 a.m. EDT
A year before the 9/11 attacks, Clinton administration lawyers told a
group of military intelligence officers that information they had
developed on 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta could not be shared with the
FBI, saying of Atta himself: "You can't even touch him - it doesn't
matter what information you have."
Rep. Curt Weldon, who helped develop the military intelligence group
code-named "Able Danger," delivered the bombshell revelation in an
interview Thursday with WABC Radio host Sean Hannity. WELDON: In
September of 2000 we tried on three occasions to take the information
we had developed and pass it along to the FBI so they could follow up
and take action against this [al-Qaida] cell and perhaps bring in Atta
and question him and do whatever else was necessary.
Three times we were turned down by lawyers in the administration.
HANNITY: We're talking about lawyers in the Clinton administration?
WELDON: Yes, it was the Clinton administration. Lawyers said there were
two reasons why you can't do that. And they even put stickies over the
face of Mohamed Atta on this chart they had. They said: "He's here
legally. He's either got a green card or he's got a visa. So you can't
even touch him - it doesn't matter what information you have." [END OF
EXCERPT]
Moments later, Weldon said he was determined to find out who it was who
ultimately gave the order to protect the lead 9/11 hijacker.
WELDON: The American people need to have answers. They need to have
answers about who made the decision to stop our military intelligence
from sharing information with the FBI, and how high up the ladder that
went.
Did it stop at DoD? Or was the Justice Department involved in that
decision? Or was the White House involved in that decision? [END OF
EXCERPT]

I think we will find out shortly that Weldon is full of bull. Wasn't
Weldon involved in something to discredit the Clinton administration
once before?

You don't like "judicial activism"
But you like executive activism?
Both, you argue, require congress to pass law---not to arbitrarily
apply some untested "standard"
The law (at the time) did NOT allow cross investigation and sharing
between domestic law and CIA operations.
Period.
