Dept. of Blogs Are Cool. Over at Intel-Dump, Weldon's source or one of his former Able Danger collleagues appears to be posting as Anonymous. (Hap tip Tom Maguire). I am intrigued. But Anon does nothing in his post to convince that they had the goods on Atta. He just continues with the screed against the lawyers and the bureaucrats and the commission. That just strikes me as weird. If I had been in a position to tell the US government a year in advance of 9/11 about its key hijacker, and I had been blocked, I think I would sound more like Colleen Rowley -- the former Minneapolis FBI agent -- e.g. devastated, public and angry, not like a salesman for a datamining program that didn't in the end save anybody's life. Wouldn't 9/11 and the 3,000 lives he could have saved have emboldened this person to come forward in a very public way? But this is someone who seems most interested in furthering a grudge, anonymously. I don't find it very convincing that they had the goods. Update: Two cheers for JPod.
