"It did not fit with the story we wanted to tell"
From page 41 of Shaffer's written testimony:
During the briefing, Congressman Weldon asked Russ Caso, his chief of
staff, to call the 9/11 commission and find out if they (the 9/11
commission) had ever heard of ABLE DANGER. Mr. Caso left the room and
called Chris Cojm at the 9/11 Discourse Project and asked him if they
had ever "heard of something called ABLE DANGER". Chris quickly
checked and told Russ "Yes - we heard of it" - Russ then asked him why
they did not put it in their final report - Cojm's answer was this "It
did not fit with the story we wanted to tell". Russ came back in and
told Congressman Weldon and me of the comment. Both Congressman
Weldon and I could not hide our astonished looks at hearing the news.
This was the beginning of the investigation as to why ABLE DANGER
information was not examined or included in the 9/11 report that has
brought us to where we are today.
