 Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 2:47 pm Post subject: ANGRY KIN CALL FOR A NEW PANEL ON 9/11 |
 |
|
I have been waiting for an outcry from 9/11 families. Kean's statement last week that Able Danger's findings were "not historically significant" has outraged them.
I think it's going to take pressure from the families to get an investigation going. Congress will not act until they get enough pressure that they have to admit there are big problems with the Commission's investigation (or lack thereof).

WASHINGTON Sept. 11 families said yesterday they are outraged that military spies were blocked from sharing key intelligence that they say could have foiled the terror attacks and are calling for a new commission to investigate.
"I'm angry that my son's death could have been prevented," seethed Diane Horning, whose son Matthew was killed at the World Trade Center. "It outrages me because it's taken four years to come out."
Families of the 9/11 victims have been rocked by revelations that the elite military intelligence unit Able Danger had identified four hijackers more than a year before the attacks but were blocked by Pentagon lawyers from sharing their information with the FBI.
A coalition of family members known as the Sept. 11 Advocates blasted 9/11 commission leaders Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton for pooh-poohing Able Danger's findings last week as not "historically significant."
"They somehow made a determination that this was not important enough. To me, that says somebody there is not using good judgment. And if I'm questioning the judgment in this one case, what other things might they have missed?" Mindy Kleinberg, a member of the Sept. 11 Advocates, told The Post.
"I don't think you can understate the significance here. You're talking about the four lead hijackers. If we shared information and did surveillance on them, there is no telling what we could have uncovered and what we could have thwarted.
"I think we do need a new commission, and that's really sad."
She also wants to know: "Who wasn't creative enough in the Department of Defense to figure out a way to get that information over to the FBI?"
Bill Doyle, whose son Joe was killed in the WTC, ripped 9/11 commission member Jamie Gorelick, who as President Clinton's deputy attorney general codified the separation between intelligence and investigative agencies in a 1995 memo. "What's disheartening is from the beginning, we said Jamie Gorelick had a conflict of interest," Doyle said. |

| I always thought it was the "Get Bush Commision". When they saw where it was going they wrapped it up quickly. Semper Fi |

Sandy was just padding his socks for the cold DC winters.
