Significant Able Danger Update. The Pentagon says it has interviewed five "credible" former Able Danger associated individuals who remember that the project had identified 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. It has not found a chart or any documentation that proves that, and doesn't rule out that such documentation was destroyed. UPI's Shaun Waterman has the details.

Update: The LA Times has the opposite take-away from yesterday's Pentagon press briefing: "Inquiry Fails to Find Data on Hijackers: A Pentagon report contradicts statements by members of an intelligence unit that some attackers were known before Sept. 11."
