I MISSED OUT ON THE “ABLE DANGER” STORY while I was on vacation, and I still don’t think I’m up to speed. But doesn’t this advance the story? “A military intelligence team repeatedly contacted the F.B.I. in 2000 to warn about the existence of an American-based terrorist cell that included the ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to a veteran Army intelligence officer who said he had now decided to risk his career by discussing the information publicly. The officer, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, said military lawyers later blocked the team from sharing any of its information with the F.B.I.”

UPDATE: John Podhoretz: “If he’s telling the truth, then the entire history of the last five years needs to be rewritten.”
