Danger: Able Danger!

You know, I hesitated writing about the Able Danger story last week. And maybe I should have hesitated a little longer. It's starting to look like it's a little trumped up.

One of the key allegations made by Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer in the Able Danger affair is that even though he specifically told the 9/11 Commission that Able Danger had identified Mohamed Atta, they failed to follow up on it.

It's all a little confusing at this point, but barring some big development, I'd say this story's pretty much finito.
