Former Congressman Curt Weldon didn’t go on Tucker Carlson the other day to speculate. He went on to accuse, to bear witness, and to make it clear that he’s done playing nice. Weldon didn’t sound like someone guessing or theorizing. He sounded like someone who had been in the room when things were decided and who had carried that weight for far too long. What he said wasn’t new for those of us paying attention, but hearing it from a man who used to sit at the heart of U.S. intelligence oversight hit differently.

On 9/11, Weldon was also the vice-chair of the House Armed Services Committee, as well as the Homeland Security Committee. Weldon would thus have intimate knowledge of everything he claimed.
According to Weldon, a military intelligence program called Able Danger had identified Mohamed Atta and several of the 9/11 hijackers more than a year before the attacks. They had names, faces, and data about the planned attack. When they tried to pass the information to the FBI, they were stopped by Department of Defense lawyers. The excuse was legal concern over tracking foreign nationals on American soil. That may sound plausible until you realize the consequence: intelligence that could have prevented the worst terrorist attack in American history was buried by the very agencies sworn to protect us.
According to Weldon, rogue elements of the CIA knew 9/11 was going to happen and took active steps to prevent the government from stopping it.
Weldon didn’t just speak about it in the abstract. He named the officers. He described the process. He laid out the chain of obstruction. He has said he gave Tucker Carlson the documentation to back it all up. And he wasn’t calm about it. This wasn’t a man selling a theory or a book. He was furious. This was personal. He had tried to blow the whistle in real time, years ago. The response wasn’t curiosity or investigation. It was retaliation.
When Weldon was to be reelected in 2006, Democrat Joe Sestak came out of nowhere, with funding entirely from California (for a Pennsylvania election), and spent what was at the time a record amount of money for a House campaign. Three weeks before the election, the Sestak campaign stopped spending money on advertising, and days later, the FBI raided Weldon’s daughter’s home, seizing boxes of supposed evidence. The media had been tipped off and was right there, capturing it in real-time, and creating conjecture that Weldon’s daughter and Weldon himself must be the targets of a massive corruption investigation.
