Conspiracy theorists - have a ball!

Reportedly there is a Pentagon employee who was ordered in 1999 to destroy a large volume of documents identifying Mohamed Atta as a terrorist. He is now coming forth to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee and identify the person who ordered them destroyed. Interestingly enough the 9/11 Commission dismissed these assertions and an ex-commissioner stated: "Bluntly, it just didn't happen and that's the conclusion of all 10 of us." Perhaps even more interestingly two military officers (one Army and one Navy) have stepped up to support the claim about destroyed documents. If he lives to testify (I'm not big into conspiracy theories, but also realize that there are things we just don't know about and people will go far to protect their perception of National Security) this could be a fascinating one!

Edit: Turns out this has been brewing since August. Here are some additional articles.
