From WorldNetDaily:
An employee of the Defense Department says he was ordered to destroy documents identifying Mohamed Atta as a terrorist two years before the 2001 attacks on the U.S., Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., announced today.
According to the congressman, the employee is set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week and will name the person who ordered the documents destroyed.
Weldon says the documents were extensive, making up 2.5 terabytes – which he says represents as much as one-fourth of all the printed material in the Library of Congress.
The Pennsylvania lawmaker has been revealing information coming from people involved in the Pentagon's "Able Danger" project, which, beginning in 1999, identified and targeted al-Qaida on a global basis using advanced technology and data analysis. Personnel involved in the project have said even though they ID'd Atta and three others two years before the 9-11 attacks, they were prevented from sharing the information with the FBI apparently due to the Clinton-era "wall of separation" between intelligence and law enforcement.
