ABLE DANGER COVERUP UPDATE

The coverup on ABLE DANGER (AD) appears to be heating up.

In an earlier article, I said that the Pentagon had two options that were basically “telegraphed” to them by the 9-11 commission …

Option 1: Accept responsibility that the DoD dropped the ball when AD produced information about Mohammed Atta and his little band of terrorists or …

Option 2: Discredit the Officers that are coming forth now with news on AD.

Appears I was wrong – the Pentagon has found another option.

OBFUSCATION.

The new option appears to be “limiting” the debate and the entire issue to a “paperwork” hunt.

The Pentagon won’t come out and say that these Officers are lying about AD. What they will say is that “there is no paper trail evidence” to back up what they’re saying. A Pentagon spokesman claimed that it appears there is little more than “memories” to substantiate what LtCol Shaffer and Captain Philpott are saying. The Pentagon is also using terms such as “phantom search” when describing the search for these AD documents. It’s clear they want to limit the whole AD debate to what can be proven – beyond a shadow of a doubt – on paper.

Paper that was probably destroyed – on purpose – long ago.

Note to the Pentagon – this issue isn’t about paperwork that may or may not still exist. There are other forms of “evidence” that can prove or disprove this thing.

Let’s just cut to the chase here. These two Officers weren’t the only two working on Able Danger – there was a whole cadre of guys and gals on this team. And that team had a CHAIN of COMMAND. LtCol Shaffer said that the Chain of Command was aware that AD had identified Atta’s cell. He also said that he, himself, went “borderline insubordinate” with a 3-Star on this issue.

It should be a simple matter for the Pentagon to get SWORN STATEMENTS from the AD team, it’s chain of command, and this 3-Star that Shaffer refers to above. If this is all a lie, invented in the mind of a couple of Officers (which is highly unlikely) – then the Pentagon should produce sworn statements from everybody saying that the claims of these officers have no merit.

Ball’s in your court Pentagon – but simply saying that you “can’t find” a piece of paper isn’t an acceptable response.
