AJ Strata provides highlights of Weldon's news conference yesterday, with a video provided byTopdog08.
| Quote: | Here is the video of the news conference. This is a 47 minute press conference. I will do my best to highlight only new information or of major import.
Weldon begins by announcing his meetings with Pentagon Inspector general and his request (among two others) for a criminal investigation.
Repeats the charge some in the Pentagon accused Shaffer of having an affair with a Weldon staffer.
Weldon absolutely nails down the timeline for the Atta and the other 9-11 terrorists identification to January 2000 - as we had determined indirectly before.
He also places the attempts to reach the FBI were in September of 2000 (corroborated by FBI employee who tried to set up the meetings).
Weldon discusses the warnings about the USS Cole two days before the fateful attack. He met with the Capt of the Cole who is still being assessed for blame in the bombing - though Able Danger knew of the danger from intel regarding a Yemen terrorist cell.
Weldon is stating he can now go public that the 9-11 commission is hiding information on this subject. They have been unwilling to investigate he claims. He is not happy with their response to why they had not investigated since August. Weldon claims cover up. Why? He says people like the current deputy director of the DIA is going to be embarrassed by the findings. Weldon has a corroborative witness to Shaffer on a meeting with this guy who stopped the meeting so he would not have to hear about Able Danger. Weldon does confirm this is today’s acting director: Mark Ewing.
Weldon returns to the claim that 9-11 staffer Dieter Snell is the one who interviewed Phillpott in the summer of 2004 (right before the report was to be released) who barred the 9-11 commission from getting an update to the Able Danger story. Phillpott will testify to seeing Atta in January 2000. This is important since Phillpott is believed to be part of the classified, SOCOM side of Able Danger. If that is true then SOCOM did get initial data sets prior to the purge at LIWA and Orion. This would explain why the purge of data did not set off the SOCOM general in charge of Able Danger when the data was destroyed without his knowledge: he had his own copies. I always wondered how someone could survive taking a general’s data.
Phillpott saw it many times. Dieter Snell’s response: “What are we going to do with that data? We go to print in ten days!”. [BFD - ever hear the phrase “stop the presses”?]
Folks, it is late. I will pick this up again tomorrow sometime.

I watched/listened to the entire video
Curt Weldon is on fire....video is well worth it
I scribbled a few notes...
| Quote: | 2 weeks before Cole. ID'd major activity 5 cells ,,2 days before Cole Able Danger people "jumping up & down"
Weldon met with commander of Cole. Career on hold by Warner who blamed him for bombing. No one told him of any problems in port.
9/11 Commission has done nothing but hide from info. Weldon sent letter Aug 10, 2005 NO RESPONSE...Lee Hamilton told him --"We are busy"
There is a cover up. Why? Current Career officers are going to be embarrassed by this. Names current Dep Director of DIA. Ditter Snell interviewed Philpot then buried story. Ditter is Gorelick aide. Ditter “ what do you want us to do with this information – we go to print in 10 days”
This is not a 3rd rate burglary ( Watergate) this is a coverup of the largest attack against our country
asking for general investigation and asking for a criminal investigation
Slade Gorton aught to go get a life. Slade Gorton who has made ridiculous assertions has never talked to the principals of Able Danger
have something new.....
Dr. Bob Johnson of the Garland Unit of Data Mining, separate from the Army .
Dr. Johnson has not talked to any of the AD players since the efforts that were taking place in '99 and 2000 and Dr. Johnson told me that his unit also identified Mohammed Atta not by photo but by name before 9/11..
Lee Hamilton’s answers were ridiculous...more spin
getting letter from both sides of congress to allow AD members to testify
911 commision called it…. historically insignificant
Slade Gorton… it never happened
last weekend, in Tampa Florida, the DIA annual meeting of defense attachés, a senior leader told assembled employees that one of their top priorities this year was to kill the AD story
CIA Dir of Paris Station ( Bill Murray) leaked the name of Weldon’s informant in Paris
jeapordised life of informant in Paris, gave up identity of CIA protected source
not the coverup of a burglary
maybe what was stolen by uh what's his face from the archives.... was a part of this materiel. What's his name I forget it!
Sandy Burger…. gets a slap on the wrist ....stole documents, from the archives, relative to 911 |

We live in the twilight zone. Weldon is just like Truman, yet he is a renegade republican. This from a republican party which spends like FDR, yet has to battle a left worse then anything Lenin could of ever dreamed and approaching Pol Pot. It is an insane paradox. I fully support Weldon and love his faith in America. Regardless of our leaders the concept of our country is beyond great and transcends all of them. We are still the shining light on the hill. !

Pentagon probes treatment of 'Able Danger' officer
Wed Nov 9, 2005 08:28 PM ET
By David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon inspector general is investigating the Defense Intelligence Agency's treatment of an Army colonel who was the first to claim publicly that the government knew about four September 11 hijackers long before the 2001 attacks, officials said on Wednesday.
Among the issues under review is whether the DIA revoked the security clearance of Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer last September in retaliation for repeated comments he made in the media about a military intelligence team code-named Able Danger, sources familiar with the case said.
Revelations about Able Danger, a small data-mining operation that ended in 2000, have reignited debate about whether the United States could have prevented the attacks on New York and Washington that killed 3,000 people and prompted the U.S. war on terrorism.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the inspector general began reviewing Shaffer's case after Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld received a written request on October 20 from Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Armed Services.
