I know everyone is talking about “Able Danger”, a pretty damn cool codename, considering that most mission names in the military are randomly generated.Reuters

A U.S. military intelligence team identified four Sept. 11 hijackers, including ringleader Mohammed Atta, as likely members of an al Qaeda cell in the United States over a year before the 2001 attacks, a former team member and a Republican congressman said on Tuesday.

The classified eight-member team, code-named “Able Danger,” produced a chart with photographs of Atta and three other hijackers in 2000 and unsuccessfully sought to pass the information on to the FBI.

Of course, the article does not mention that a member of the 9/11 commission, Jamie Gorelick, was the one that came up with the “wall” policy that the information cannot be shared with law enforcement.
