Pentagon to release report on Sept. 11 claims

[cal04]

The Pentagon's inspector general will release a report in the coming days that is expected to refute claims that an Army intelligence unit had information that could have thwarted the Sept. 11 attacks, officials said on Wednesday.

The report, the result of a Defense Department probe launched last October, was expected to be issued by acting Pentagon inspector general Thomas Gimble as early as Thursday, military and congressional officials said.

Former members of the data-mining unit code-named Able Danger and their Republican champion in Congress, Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania, have maintained for over a year that Able Danger uncovered intelligence on Sept. 11 mastermind Mohamed Atta and others in 2000 that should have been a tip-off of the attacks.

Two officials familiar with the contents of the report said it substantially undermines claims put forward by Weldon and former Able Danger members.

I'll file this with Ken Lay's own "report" which "refutes" his guilt, and O.J.'s "report" about the "real killer."
