Cover up of 9/11 intel failures continues to unravel

"Second Officer Says 9/11 Leader Was Named Before Attacks - New York Times"

We now have a serving Navy captain join the former civilian contractor in confirming the report of a retired Army lieutenant colonel that Mohammad Atta's name and photo had been identified as a terrorist in the US as early as January or February of 2000 - more than a year and a half before the 9/11 attacks in which Atta was a key player.

Meanwhile the Pentagon says they have no documents naming Atta at that period and the 9/11 Commission staff denies having received a pile of documents, including some naming Atta, developed by the DOD intel operation code-named Able Danger which employed the three persons who have come forward to name Atta as a target of their efforts long before the attacks.

The purpose of high-level commissions and studies and such almost always results in a white-wash. The 9/11 Commission is in that grand tradition as is the study of UN management headed by former Fed chairman Paul Volcker.
