Inside the Mind of Curt Weldon

Jeff Taylor | August 9, 2005

That's the destination of intrepid 9/11 commission investigators who will try to pin down the congressman's downright creepy claim that a secret Army intel unit knew that Mohammed Atta was running a terror cell in the U.S. way back in 1999!

All of this would normally be eminently dismissible coming from Weldon, the man who believes anything Iranian "dissidents" tell him, like the CIA in Paris covering up Iranian plots against the U.S. But there's the fact that 9/11 commission investigators themselves do recall hearing about the Army unit, code named Able Danger, back in 2003. Huh.

This could just be a delayed feed-back loop featuring Weldon connecting the wrong dots, or a legitimately overlooked lead buried in black-op mumbo jumbo.

Keep watching the skies.
