Able Danger: Audio of Rep. Curt Weldon's Restoration Weekend Speech "The Perils We Face"

From Able Danger Blog, Rep. Curt Weldon, R-PA, delivered a speech entitled "The Perils We Face" at Restoration Weekend, which took place in Phoenix, Arizona from February 23-26, 2006. Front Page Magazine has a full transcript of the speech. The audio of all but the first section of his speech was posted online and you can listen here. It starts at the segment titled "9/11: What I Saw at Ground Zero":

Here is his decription of Zelikow's testimony:

When Phil Zelikow came in, and he wouldn’t testify in open session – even though he gave us no classified information in closed session – I asked him, “Did you interview the Able Danger principals?” And he said, “No, Congressman.”

I said, “Why would you not do that? These were CIA-trained case officers and career military professionals. Why wouldn’t you want to get the facts?”

He replied, “Because we think we’ve gotten all the information we need.”

I asked, “And why would you not include that in the 9/11 Report?” He answered, “Because we thought it was historically irrelevant.”

Able Danger: Why Wasn't the FBI Told About Mohammad Atta Before the 9-11 Attacks - Part 10

Able Danger identified Mohammad Atta and at least 2 other 9-11 hijackers more than a year before the 9-11 attacks. Why was the data that connected Mohammad Atta as a possible terrorist threat to the United States destroyed, and why wasn't this information shared with the FBI so the 9-11 attacks might have been prevented?

10. Louis Freeh was the FBI Director at the time. On Meet the Press he said, "..if he had had the Able Danger information, that that was the type of actionable intelligence that may have allowed the FBI to  prevent 9-11 from ever occurring..." (the mp3 file is here)

Able Danger: Why Wasn't the FBI Told About Mohammad Atta Before the 9-11 Attacks - Part 9

Able Danger identified Mohammad Atta and at least 2 other 9-11 hijackers more than a year before the 9-11 attacks. Why was the data that connected Mohammad Atta as a possible terrorist threat to the United States destroyed, and why wasn't this information shared with the FBI so the 9-11 attacks might have been prevented?

9. The experts running Able Danger tried to warn the FBI, they tried to schedule meetings but each time the attempts to meet with and alert the FBI failed. Again, here's Curt Weldon, "...we will have testimony that there were meetings that were attempted to be setup to transfer the data in September of 2000. Contrary to what the current FBI says today, those FBI employees, that Senator Specter knows full well the identity of, will in fact be asked to give statements..." (the mp3 file is here)
