The Senate was to have hearings today about Able-Danger the secret project the Pentagon had going in 2000 to identify al Qaeda operatives. Allegedly they identified and located Mohammed Atta, the leader of the al Qaeda team that pulled off 9/11 by name and al Qaeda affiliation a year prior to 9/11. Then the program was shut down and the information never given to the FBI Counterterrorism unit and never passed up to the National Security Council.
Today, the Pentagon order the people who knew anything about Able-Danger to not testify before the Senate.
The last minute orders are themselves suspicions. Someone doesn't want the American public to know what was known before 9/11. This adds to the suspicious nature of the items I listed in Why did the Bush administration leave Zarqawi alive?
This is a Cheney, Rice, and Rumsfeld at the Pentagon operation and had nothing to do with any danger of letting Intelligence sources and methods be exposed. It is internal American politics and the Bush administration is in it up to their necks.
