From the same article later on
I am not sure how the Senate Panel came to the conclusion it did. I do/did believe Able Danger did identify some 9/11 hijackers. I do not believe that is a conspiracy theory if I am right. It does not mean LIHOP if Able Danger did ID some of the hijackers. National security leaders ignored much evidence of impending attacks because it was not apart of their political agenda or they felt it would hurt their career to pursue something they did not want to believe was possible.The Senate Intelligence Committee has rejected as untrue one of the most disturbing claims about the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes — a congressman's contention that a team of military analysts identified Mohamed Atta or other hijackers before the attacks — according to a summary of the panel's investigation obtained by The Times.
The conclusion contradicts assertions by Rep. Curt Weldon (R-Pa.) and a few military officers that U.S. national security officials ignored startling intelligence available in early 2001 that might have helped to prevent the attacks.

Though the committee concluded that claims about Able Danger were unfounded, two of the hijackers were known to the U.S. intelligence community before the Sept. 11 attacks. The two had been observed by the CIA attending a meeting with Al Qaeda operatives in Malaysia, but that information was not shared with other agencies in time to locate them after they had entered the United States and moved to San Diego.Though the committee concluded that claims about Able Danger were unfounded, two of the hijackers were known to the U.S. intelligence community before the Sept. 11 attacks.
