Did Able Danger Spot Mohammed Atta Through Face Recognition Tech?
Anthony Shaffer, the whistle blower who went public in August, claims lawyers shut down the operation just at the point that it named and identified 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta.
...Of some 80 people interviewed by the Defense Department as part of its Able Danger internal investigation, the Pentagon says that three additional workers remember seeing either a chart with a photo or a reference to Mohamed Atta.
The general in charge of the Special Operations Command, Gen. Bryan "Doug" Brown, also went on the record this weekend telling the St. Petersburg Times that he was "pretty sure" Able Danger did not identify Mohamed Atta before 9/11.

~It doesn't matter how many pictures they had of Mohammed Atta with Osama Bin Laden or whoever it was, because no agency was prepared to go to the next step? Following, questioning or arresting Mohammed Atta.
