New 9/11 documents surface over Able Danger
Newly surfaced documents are being used to argue that parts of the 9/11 story were deliberately buried, a claim that cuts against the official commission's findings.
- One document reportedly shows someone at the Pentagon understood what the Able Danger intelligence program was doing before the attacks.
- A second document shows a senior Senate lawyer privately agreed with the whistleblower account in an internal memo.
- The Senate oversight committee set those concerns aside and accepted the 9/11 Commission's version anyway.
- Most 9/11-related records remain classified, which keeps the dispute alive and unresolvable in public.
Outlook: Expect fresh pressure to declassify the remaining files, with little sign the government plans to release them soon.
