Secret U.S Military Unit Identified Atta One Year Before 9-11

Anyone who knows me is aware that I've had a problem with the "official" government story regarding the 9-11 attacks. Very little about what the government has told us seems to add up. But time goes by and I start to realize that there will never be a serious investigation, so I do what every good Amerikan should do -- I just let it go, and focus instead on the Mainstream Media's coverage of whatever young, pretty white woman is currently missing.

Then I read something like this, and it all comes rushing back. Of course, the secret military unit that identified Mohammad Atta and three other future 9-11 hijackers did so as the Clinton Administration was winding down, meaning that the right wing echo chamber can simply blame Bubba for this. But it appears that this information was kept from the Commission investigating 9-11, meaning that the decision to cover this whole thing up was made under Bush's watch.

Why would officials in the Bush Administration decide to cover up something that happened at the end of the Clinton Administration? Wouldn't something like that support the Bush Regime's dominant theory regarding 9-11, namely, that the whole thing was Clinton's fault? It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Follow up -- So who is lying? Is it Rumsfeld, the 9-11 Commission members, or the Pentagon spokesman:

If the team did identify Atta and the others, it's unclear why the
information wasn't forwarded. The prohibition against sharing intelligence on
"U.S. persons" should not have applied since they were in the country on visas
and did not have permanent resident status. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he was unaware of the intelligence until the latest reports surfaced. But Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the 9/11 Commission looked into the
matter during its investigation into government missteps leading to the attacks
and chose not to include it in the final report.
