Latest On Able Danger

"Lt. Col. Shaffer said Atta's name didn't ring a bell when he learned the hijackers' names after 9/11. But he got "a sinking feeling in my stomach" when the woman Ph.D. in charge of Able Danger's data analysis told him Atta was one of those who had been identified as a likely al Qaeda terrorist by Able Danger."

"My friend the doctor [Ph.D.] who did all the charts and ran the technology showed me the chart and said, 'Look, we had this, we knew them, we knew this'."

"A naval officer has also told reporters that he alerted the 9/11 commission about Able Danger but was ignored."

"He hasn't gone public, but The Associated Press yesterday identified him as Capt. Scott Philpott."

"Shaffer said he showed Able Danger files to other intelligence experts in the past and they agreed that "we really did have the goods on these guys before 9/11."

"But he said that so far, the Pentagon has been unable to locate the files."

Thomas Kean, 9/11 Commission chairman: "It's up to the Pentagon to clear up". (CYA, Mr. Kean?)

The Pentagon has launched an investigation.
