Kevin Drum has an update on the "Able-Danger" story. The key that made it a big story was the asertion that a small group in the Special Operations Command had identified Mohammed Atta, the key 9/11 terrorist, prior to 9/11 and had connected him to al Qaeda, but were not permitted to provide the information to the FBI counterterrorist people.
Upon reflection it seems that the assertions cannot be supported, and the timeline is "uncertain."
Unless someone gets some real evidence, this story is dead.
